After manually fiddling with the ring on the bottom we got it to work, but it felt like a lot of effort for such an expensive soda machine.īased on the company's description the SodaStream Art is its premium carbonator, with a retro-inspired body and lever instead of a button. The locking mechanism on the Proe we tested had trouble shifting into the lock position, causing the carbonator to blow open and spray water everywhere. However, they tend to fall a little short on performance. I used to drink when we were younger I just decided I didn't want. Aarke Carbonators are undoubtably the best looking carbonating gadgets on the market, with sleek matte black or stainless steel finishes. I know, it's not that strong, it's almost like soda. It's similar to the Aqua Fizz in that it has glass bottles instead of plastic, and also like the Aqua Fizz, the machine covers the bottle entirely during the carbonation process to safeguard from exploding glass.

The Aarke Carbonator Pro is Aarke's newest model. The drink canisters were also unnecessarily tall, and unable to fit inside most fridges. In this case, the portability, the carbonating possibilities beyond water, and the thoughtful design made it my favorite of the bunch.Ĭonsidering the price point, the Drinkpod Fizzpod seemed incredibly flimsy and cheap. Almost all of these machines are able to carbonate liters of water well enough, so choosing the winner came down to other factors. While the Drinkmate did not produce the absolute strongest fizz in our blind tasting, it lost only by a small margin, and still made very nice bubbles. This means you could carbonate things like apple juice, or even milk (if you're feeling like a real sicko!). In fact, it carbonated the wine so well that it deceived one of my colleagues into thinking they were drinking a glass of Crémant.

We tested Drinkmate's all-beverages-welcome policy using white wine and a batched Boulevardier recipe and was pleased by the results. Try doing so with a SodaStream and you could void your warranty, and possibly end up damaging the machine. Drinkmate is also the only brand of soda makers that officially endorses the carbonation of more than just water.
