The Best Sparkling Water Makers In 2022 For Fizziest, Bubbliest Drinks

SodaStream’s Jet Sparkling Water Maker is an excellent entry version if you’re new to making homemade carbonated beverages. Our tester has owned this model for about three years and used it weekly, if not daily. This slimline and compact sparkling water maker is super easy to use and can be operated with the simple touch of a button. The kit comes with one Co2 cartridge providing enough power to make 60-liters of your favorite fizzy drinks – our tester only replaced hers twice in the last three years. You’re also supplied with a 1-liter fully reusable and non-toxic BPA-free carbonating bottle.

This is a tremendous little starter kit that will have you and the family bubbling up delicious beverages in next to no time, making economic and environmental savings. This lightweight soda maker is also easy to carry and transport, ideal for packing with you for a long weekend away visiting relatives or that family vacation. Our tester even brought hers on a couple of climbing trips and used it in her van since no electricity is required. With no need to worry about finding a power source or recharging batteries either, the SodaStream Jet is an excellent energy-efficient option. You can opt for SodaStream brand flavors for your sparkling water or try it our tester’s way – she likes to make her own simple syrups at home.

We’re recommending the Aarke Carbonator III as our premium choice soda maker. One look and it’s easy to appreciate why. This soda maker really is a thing of beauty, featuring a similarly sleek design aesthetic to the previous model but updated to add a redesigned precision nozzle and an even slimmer design. The Aarke Carbonator III wouldn’t look out of place on the counter of the most high-end and contemporary of kitchens. It’s certainly not an appliance to hide away in a cupboard. It will fit right in with your other high-quality countertop appliances.

This countertop soda maker comes with a plastic water bottle, but no CO2 canister. It is compatible with SodaStream canisters, which are the most readily available in the US. Once you buy the canister, you can refill it at a lower cost once it is empty. To make your sparkling water, just fill up the water bottle (works best with cold water), screw the bottle onto the machine until tight, and then pull down the handle. You’ll see the bubbles released in the bottle, so you know the carbonation process is working. Pull down the handle multiple times for extra carbonation. If you want to add flavor, you will need to transfer the water to a glass or other container.

If you’re looking for something that will get the job done at a lower cost but still comes with reliability and a big name, the SodaStream Terra is one of the best soda makers for any household. This starter pack comes with one water bottle and one CO2 canister. Each canister carbonates up to 60 liters of water. Most of the time, you’ll want to have at least two bottles because it’s easier to make soda water with cold water, so keeping one in the fridge ready to carbonate and one carbonated water is key. But this soda maker is compatible with all SodaStream bottles except their glass bottles so it is easy to find an extra one.

The compact design won’t take up too much counter space, but it also fits well in most kitchen cupboards. To use, just fill up the plastic bottle, pull the support handle out to insert the bottle, and then push the bottle up and back until you feel it click into place. Then press the top button to create the fizzy water. Press the button until you reach the desired amount of bubbles – three times is a standard fizz, five times is extra fizzy.

The Sodastream Fizzi One Touch is really easy to use, plus it looks good sitting on your counter. This soda water maker is a lot simpler to use than many of the soda makers on this list. Just select a fizz level, push the button and you’ll have fizzy water. Unlike other sparkling water makers, no need to wait or press the button multiple times. The plastic bottle locks in place with an easy snap-lock design, although some users have had issues getting it to sit in place. Unlike older SodaStream models, this one does not screw into place. This machine is compatible with all SodaStream containers except their glass carafe.

This value pack also comes with all the necessary accessories, including three 1-liter reusable BPA-free bottles and two 60L CO2 canisters. And, it comes with two Bubly flavors so you can enjoy your favorite sparkling water without the aluminum cans from store-bought seltzer that inevitably fill up your recycling. Each flavoring bottle can make up to 12 liters of flavored sparkling water.

The DrinkMate home soda maker is perfect for those of you who want to be more adventurous with your fizzy beverages. Not only does it carbonate water, but you can also use your DrinkMate to breathe life back into flat beers, cocktails, or even to pep up your vino, as well as any sort of juice or other beverage. While many other brands distinctly advise against using their carbonators for anything other than plain water, with DrinkMate’s patented fizz technology, you can tackle anything from apple juice to wine. Plus, it’s also entirely safe for kids to use too. “Does it fizz?” can quickly become a fun kitchen science experiment.

It’s quick and easy to operate and simple to clean. There’s no electricity to worry about or batteries that need to be changed or recharged. The sleek and compact, modern-looking design comes in your choice of white, red, or black, so you can choose an option to fit the aesthetics of your kitchen. It uses standard CO2 cartridges and comes with a 10-liter cartridge to get you starting on your carbonating adventure. It is also compatible with SodaStream 60L CO2 canisters. The discreet footprint will also save you valuable counter space. Get ready to carbonate any liquid and make fancy fizzy drinks for the family!

Switching it up a bit, if you’re looking for something that’s affordable and easy to take on the go, a siphon might be the right kitchen tool for your soda making needs. Just fill up the aluminum bottle, add a standard 8-gram co2 cartridge, shake, remove the cartridge and then squirt out sparkling water. It also includes a pressure control valve to adjust the carbonation pressure.

While this soda water maker probably isn’t the right option if you drink sparkling water every day, if it’s just a once-in-a-while thing it could be perfect. If all you want to do is make carbonated apple juice or add it to a cocktail every so often, you probably don’t need a big fancy soda maker. Pour your sparkling water over fresh fruit for a tasty treat any time of the day.

If you don’t want to use CO2 canisters that you have to constantly refill or replace, the Sparkel system might be the best soda maker for you. This soda maker uses carbonator packets to carbonate beverages, but some reviewers recommend using a mixture of baking soda and citric acid (cheap to buy in large quantities) to avoid using the single-use packets that come with the machine. However, beware that using anything other than Sparkel carbonators will void the 1-year warranty.

With one touch on the Sparkel soda maker, you can carbonate liquids of any variety, from water to juice to alcohol. Choose from five carbonation levels to find the option that’s right for you. And you can use any additives right in the water even before you sparkle it — try fruit, herbs, or spices! The pressure of carbonation helps infuse the flavors into your water.

We’re completing our round-up of the best sparkling water makers with yet another excellent option from the SodaStream range. This time it’s the SodaStream Aqua Fizz Soda Maker. If you’re looking to get rid of plastics in your kitchen, this soda maker is a great choice as it uses glass bottles instead of plastic ones. Each glass bottle (it comes with two) is elegant, durable, and dishwasher safe. Just insert the included CO2 canisters in the back, slide the glass bottle in under the carbonation, then close and press the button until it reaches your preferred level of carbonation.

The Soda Stream Aqua Fizz is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a higher-end soda maker that uses glass instead of plastic for their soda water consumption. Save the planet, save your wallet and enjoy a never-ending stream of soda thanks to the SodaStream Aqua Fizz soda machine.
