Bottle Capper Buyer’s Guide
Anyone who regularly brews their own beer will know that actually brewing your beverage is only part of the challenge. To preserve your beer or home brewed drinks, you need a bottle capper! Correctly sealing your bottles will prevent air from getting into the bottle, while also preventing leakages.
Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best bottle cappers? Take a look at this buyer’s guide.
Design
The design of your bottle capper will directly influence the ease of use. It’s important to opt for a bottle capper that will fit the size of the bottles you want to use. Some cheaper designs may only be suitable for certain types of bottle. Most bottle cappers work with a 26mm cap, while others are only compatible with 29mm caps.
‘Wing’ style bottle cappers with slightly longer handles will offer more leverage, while also allowing you enough control to cap your bottles for long periods of time. Bench cappers operate quickly and efficiently, but they are bulkier which makes them harder to store than wing style cappers.
Ease of Use
A bottle capper that’s tricky to use will be a waste of money and energy! Your capper should be able to seal multiple bottles within a short space of time. Most come with a small integrated magnet that’ll hold your cap stable and in place.
For added ease, look for a bottle capper with caps included. This will save you a purchase, and you’ll be sure that the caps are compatible with the capper you’ve purchased.

Using a bottle capper is very easy. Simply place the cap on the magnet, then put the cap in place over the neck of the bottle. With both hands, push down onto the handles until the cap seals. You’ll likely hear a satisfying sound when it seals properly!
