We recently purchased one of these nifty appliances and it has really made a difference at our house. A seltzer carbonation machine is about the size of a coffee maker and uses no batteries or electricity. All the magic is done by a carbonator canister hidden in the back of the machine.
It takes less than 30 seconds to make nearly unlimited amounts of sparkling water and soda.
Here are 5 top reasons why you need a seltzer water maker:
Reason #1: You Control the Level of Fizziness
For soda water lovers, one of the key benefits of a seltzer water maker is that you get to decide on the fizziness of your drinks. Some people prefer just a slight fizz. Others prefer very fizzy drinks. Typically it only takes 2-3 button presses to fully carbonate a liter of water. I always add an extra push to make it just a bit more fizzy.
Reason #2: Drink Healthy
Not only do you control the fizziness, you also control flavor. This provides a great opportunity to teach your family about healthy alternatives to high-fructose corn syrup name brand sodas. Instead of sugary syrups, why not use a squeeze of lime juice or a splash of cranberry juice. You can also make your own flavors with pomegranate, tea bags, or anything else you find in your kitchen.
In addition to flavors, you also control the source of your water. You can use plain old tap water, or you can use chilled water from a water filter.
Reason #3: Save the Environment
Many people would argue that this is the most important benefit of owning a home seltzer water maker. Usually these machines include one or more reusable soda bottles that are good for three years or more. By reusing your bottles instead of throwing them away, you greatly reduce your plastic bottle waste. Reusing is even better than recycling.
Secondly, these machines can help reduce your carbon footprint. There is no point in paying for someone else to produce, fill, and then truck plastic bottles around the country when you have all the materials at home.
Reason #4: Cut your Grocery Store Bill
The CO2 canisters included with most carbonated water machines are good for about 60 liters of carbonated water. Larger (120 liter) sizes are also available. Name brand sparkling water can cost several dollars per liter at the store. Home seltzer machines can make a liter of carbonated water for about 20-30 cents per liter.
Reason #5: Endless Carbonated Water, Seltzer Water, and Club Soda
Since you have all the materials at your finger tips, these machines can make virtually unlimited amounts of carbonated water on demand. If you run out of soda at a birthday party, or club soda at a cocktail party, it only takes a few seconds to make more. You won’t have to run off to the store to buy more.
The convenience, economic, environmental, and health benefits of owning a seltzer water maker make these machines perfect additions to your home. I’ve talked to several people who have given them as house warming gifts, wedding presents, and to students going off to college.
“Watch as I turn ordinary tap water into delicious seltzer water in under 30 seconds!” That is what my friend promised as he demonstrated his new seltzer water maker for Sodastream. We were over at his house for a dinner party and were asking about the strange device he had on his kitchen counter.
A seltzer water maker is a small kitchen appliance that looks very similar to a coffee maker. Instead of a coffee pot, there is a reusable and fairly sturdy soda bottle. There is also a carbonator canister hidden in the back of the unit. But on a daily basis, you only need to worry about the soda bottle and the big button on top of the machine. There are no batteries, power cords, and any other complicated controls. Just one big button.
If you feel the need for a refreshing sparkling beverage, the machine could not be easier to operate. Simply fill the bottle with water, press the charging button three times, and you are done. You’ll have a bottle of homemade selter water that you can drink immediately or mix in a variety of flavor syrups. The machine makes a really cool wooshing sound each time you inject more carbonation.
How did it taste? We all sampled the seltzer water and were impressed. I like a lot of bubbles in my water and this did not disappoint. If you want even more fizz, all you have to do is push the button a few more times. We used chilled tap water from the fridge but you can use any type of water depending on your tastes.
I liked it enough that I went online and ordered a seltzer water maker for myself the next day.
