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

Product Information

SodaStream is known as the OG of water carbonators – most people remember them from their heyday in the '70s and '80s. The second edition of the product has a range of other finishes that you can match with other appliances or color schemes in your kitchen. So, if you drink like a fish and can't get enough of fizzy drinks, then it'll probably last you for around two months. However, if you only dig it out on special occasions, then of course, it'll last a lot longer. How to choose the best carbonator for you? The original sparkling water maker from AARKE is the AARKE Carbonator I. It is the best sparkling water maker.

Machined from a single piece of stainless steel, the precision nozzle works with the highly tuned carbonation system to ensure your fizzy water has the perfect bubble size while also minimising the amount of CO2 used to create each bottlefull, so every gas cylinder lasts longer. But that's not the best bit. Drinkmate prides itself on being able to add fizz to any drink you want, whether that's orange squash, wine or cider. Literally, anything you can get your hands on that doesn't have pulp. You press the button to carbonate, and you can fine tune with a few extra squirts of CO 2 at the end. Honk honk and you're done. Aarke's carbonators even use the same CO 2 canisters as SodaStream, which makes swapping them out much easier. And like SodaStream, the company even has a convenient canister mail-in exchange program called the Cylinder Loop. It's also worth noting that the carbonated water it produced felt and tasted identical to what we've been making at home for years. No, there isn't evidence that carbonated water has a negative impact on your dental or overall health. Our favourite part of testing out SodaStream was definitely the delicious syrups and flavourings that the brand offer online – lemonade and lime genuinely tasted like lemonade and lime you'd get at the pub.

Once you’ve inserted your CO2 cylinder into the tower, the exciting bit can begin… Just add tap water up to the fill line of your carbonation bottle, screw it onto the head of your Carbonator 3 and push the stainless steel lever down until the drinks maker makes a satisfying buzz. Then release the lever, unscrew the bottle and seal it till you need it – making fizzy drinks for friends and family couldn’t be easier. And with three independent safety valves inside, it couldn’t be safer, either.

Compared to your average carbonator, the SodaStream Spirit Machine is really quiet and you can't even hear the CO2 being released when you detach your bottle from the machine. SodaStream's gas cylinders, which are made of brass and aluminium, contain Carbon Dioxide (CO2), 75% of which is water. Due to the fact that liquid CO2 cannot exist at normal atmospheric pressure, it has to be stored in the canister at high pressure.

Swedish brand Aarke is behind a range of stunning stainless steel soda maker machines, which make a statement in the kitchen in a selection of metal and chrome finishes and give you sparkling water at the push of a lever. A Swedish design company founded in 2013 by two experienced industrial designers (and friends), Jonas Groth and Carl Ljungh, the brand is on a mission to re(de)fine the home appliances industry – and their carbonators are rapidly gaining a cult following around the world. Having strong environmentalist principles, Aarke aims to produce made-to-last quality, using premium materials and a unique design approach. As one of the more expensive carbonators around, we decided to try it out to see if it's worth forking out a little more for.The lever system bases the amount of carbonation on how far and long you pull the handle down. It also automatically releases any extra pressure within the bottle when you let go of the lever. In other soda maker systems, there’s a second step of tipping the water bottle to release the pressure, so it’s nice that this is a single action here. Just add a CO2 cylinder – there isn’t one included, but they’re compatible with the 60 Litre SodaStream gas cylinders we sell online, and the Recycled 60 Litre ones we sell in store – and you’re ready to go. Swedish company Aarke’s carbonators combine expert craftsmanship with elegant design. Sleek and stylish, Aarke soda makers are as practical as they are pretty, delivering perfect sparkling water in less than ten seconds while adding a touch of class to any home. A glamorous addition to a home bar or kitchen countertop, Aarke carbonators do away with the need to lug heavy bottles of sparkling water home from the shops. And with a range of flavours available, you can create delicious sparkling drinks in the comfort of your own home. Let the bubbles begin
