It is a device capable of transforming tap water into freshly sparkling soda water, with a thousand flavours to choose from. They also maintain the bottling machine they sold us, which has been very reliable when we have had it. What if we told you there was a very clever gadget that’ll help the planet and help you drink more water?

During testing, we found that the small, tingly, effervescent bubbles distributed well and made the water deliciously drinkable—the carbonation even lasted longer than many other soda makers. Sparkel Beverage System: This machine uses citric acid and baking soda to produce carbon dioxide in lieu of gas canisters, which we found innovative despite the extra step of having to add the citric acid packet. The included bottle has a clearly marked fill line, plus low and high bubble levels that let you easily eyeball if you need more or less carbonation.

Upon commissioning, we could already tell that the new equipment will save labour time and money, not to mention reducing CO2 costs. A simple wipe-down of the exterior and the carbonation needle is all you need to do to keep things nice and tidy. I don’t know whether it’s because it’s Swedish or just because making carbonated water seems like a pretty easy process, but the Carbonator Pro is extremely simple to use. The plastic bottles didn’t feel great to me (and got grimy easily, because they’re goddamn plastic); the water was spicy but didn’t stay so for super long; and, frankly, it just wasn’t that sexy of a machine. The Aarke does its job and carbonates any canister of water I twist on to it, but does so with a bit less consistency than SodaStream counterparts.Carbonator Pro is a unique sparkling water maker in stainless steel, with a sturdy, dishwasher safe glass bottle.

After a few presses on the push-button (you determine the bubble rate you want), you get homemade carbonated water.Simple, well-labeled buttons control all the options, including drink size, still or fizzy water, the intensity of the fizziness, and the intensity of one or two different flavors. SodaStream soda makers, in particular, are not designed to be used to carbonate any liquid other than water; any flavors should be added after the water is fizzy.

Push the stainless steel lever and hold until you hear a buzz, then release and unscrew the bottle from the machine. Not all soda makers are designed to carbonate beverages other than water, though, so be sure to check your product manual first.We tested the current model (pictured below) and were pleased with how ergonomic the lever was, which can be good for users with mobility limitations.
