Aarke Carbonator 3, Sparkling Water Maker with Water Bottle, Steel Finish

Product Information

Our top pick is the sleek Drinkmate Beverage Carbonation Maker because it can carbonate any liquid and doesn't require any electricity or batteries. Power Source: Manual | Bottle Material: BPA-free plastic | Bottle Capacity: 800 milliliters | Carbonator Included: No | Dimensions: 6 x 10. We also found that the carbonation was strong and lasted a long time, and we appreciated that the lever releases excess carbonation to avoid messes.

It's definitely a step up from SodaStream's other models but still doesn't have quite the bold look of an Aarke.SodaStream is the most popular manufacturer, with three or four mostly plastic models to choose from. But if design is important to you, the Aarke works well, feels sturdy and will look better than any other carbonator in the field sitting on your counter. This sleek and compact design from Aarke is ideal for making instant and refreshing sparkling water at home. Power Source: Manual | Bottle Material: BPA-free plastic | Bottle Capacity: 1 liter | Carbonator Included: No | Dimensions: 5 x 8 x 16 inches | Weight: 4.

Not all soda makers are designed to carbonate beverages other than water, though, so be sure to check your product manual first. Also, the glass bottle is a major selling point, since, unlike other carbonators with plastic bottles, you won’t have to replace it or worry about it decomposing or anything. To help you sift through all the options out there, we tested and rated soda makers on the following attributes: ease of use, carbonation performance, and ease of cleaning.SodaStream drink mixes allow you to recreate your favourite fizzy pop: there’s 7up, Pepsi and Pepsi Max varieties available, as well as a mix to create your own tonic water. With a SodaStream, just about every time you push the lever, you'll get a consistent release of gas into the water. For the record, I highly recommend the SodaStream if you want a more economical carbonator and are fine with it being plastic. We have known the team at Carbonation Techniques for years now and have a good working relationship with them, so when we needed to upscale our kegging plant and carbonator, we went straight to them.

Since the Aarke is manual, the user controls how much gas to release -- and thus, how bubbly to make the liquid. The choice will almost certainly bubble down to your sense of aesthetics and how much disposable income you can fork out for a soda maker.
