SodaStream Technology at Its Best
SodaStream is an indisputable leader in the market of soda makers and in order to hold their top position, the company makes sure to deliver the best of what modern carbonation technologies can offer. This Spirit One Touch soda maker is just a case in point.
At a glance, the Spirit One Touch doesn’t differ much from other models in the range, featuring the standard compartment for a CO2 cylinder at the back and a bottle holder on the front. It's packed in a modern casing and has a compact size to go even on space-limited countertops.
What differs it though is that unlike manual models requiring users to hold the button to achieve the desired level of fizz, this one comes with 3 control buttons, allowing you to quickly choose between mild, medium and strong pre-sets and eliminating guesswork. So, all you need to do is place a CO2 cartridge, click the bottle with water into place, push a fizz button, and let the device do its magic. That’s it, no hidden catch. The unit offers a true one-touch operation, hence the model's name.
Add Flavour to Your Favourite Drinks
To elaborate on the convenience of use, the Spirit One Touch comes in a complete bundle with everything you need to carbonate seltzer at home. Not only will it let you enjoy the ease of use, but also you can start transforming ordinary tap water into bubble infused drinks straight after unpacking the box.
A CO2 cylinder included in the set will let you carbonate up to 60L of water (depending on the fizz setting) before it’ll need a replacement and a 1L bottle is suitable not only for carbonation but also for storing your fresh sparkling water in the fridge. Notably, the bottle is made of quality BPA-free plastic. So, unlike those store-bought single-use bottles, it is reusable and won’t leach any harmful chemicals into your drink.
On top of that, freshly carbonated soda is a perfect base for a whole variety of drinks and cocktails. You can choose from a wide range of SodaStream flavoured drops to enjoy your favourite Cola and other fruity drinks prepared in a healthier way, with no added sugars and synthetic aromas. Likewise, you are free to mix soda with freshly squeezed juice, fruit syrups, and teas as well as add fruit slices, berries, herbs, and even liquor to concoct homemade lemonades, sparkling teas, and delicious refreshing cocktails.
To cut a long story short, if you seek a functional yet simple soda maker for regular home use that will get the job done and ensure consistent carbonating results time and again, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better model than the SodaStream Spirit One Touch.

Although it's not one of the essential appliances, when selecting one, your eye will naturally search for the most beautiful one. To save you time, we'd like to offer you to turn your eyes toward the Levivo water carbonator set which both looks great and performs well.

Thanks to such design, this soda maker will be able to add a contemporarily touch to any classic or country-style interior as well as perfectly blend with any modern, minimalistic, industrial, or fusion style.

Like other home soda makers, the Levivo set includes an automatic carbonator, a 60L CO2 cylinder, which will let you prepare refreshing seltzer for at least a couple weeks on one refill, and 2 carbonating bottles where you will be able to store and serve your bubbly drinks.
The sturdy construction is another advantage of this model. It has a well-thought-out design with a secure bayonet lock that greatly simplifies the installation of a carbonating bottle. And when the drink is ready, taking the bottle out is even easier by pushing one single button. A small drip tray that is affixed at the bottom of the construction collects and keeps all spills, ensuring mess-free operation.
Best Choice If You Love Fizzy Drinks
If you have a family of soda enthusiasts where adults like pure sparkling water and seltzer-based cocktails and kids adore lemonade, you know that carbonated water is never enough. Yet, with the Levivo carbonator, you will have an opportunity to keep a spare bottle of soda always at hand. The set contains two carbonating bottles, which means when the one empties you'll have another one in reserve.

Both bottles are made of top-quality PET, the kind of plastic that is known for being not only lightweight and durable like other food-grade plastic but also recyclable. Probably this isn't the most important feature about this soda maker but it will certainly please environmentally-conscious consumers who're looking for ways to reduce the amount of plastic waste. Also, PET looks very much like glass, giving the bottles that crystal transparency. But unlike glass, they do not break easily, meaning they will serve you a long time.

Buying this SodaStream Crystal water maker, you also get a glass carafe, which is a great advantage given that most machines come with plastic carbonating bottles.

Make Your Bubbles Your Way
Like most sparkling water makers, the SodaStream Crystal allows you to adjust a fizz level and get as many bubbles as you want, thanks to the manual carbonation process.

However, if they make these drinks at home, they will be able to safely drink colas, tonics or Mojitos containing zero amount of sugar. It will be enough to add some sugar-free syrup to sweeten the water a bit.
In short, with the SodaStream Crystal machine in your kitchen, you will be able to make your favourite fizzy drinks anytime and with minimum effort.

What Is a Soda Maker?
You'll hardly find a person who would reject a glass of sparkling and cold soda or lemonade with a slice of lime. If you're one of these people who easily yields to this temptation, a soda maker is what you need to have in your kitchen.
Initially designed as a siphon to dispense soda into cocktails, today, soda makers use CO2 cartridges to carbonate tap or bottled water. With that, the carbonation process itself has also become much simpler and less time-taking. Thus, if you and your kids adore carbonated drinks, don't hesitate to get yourself a soda maker and create your own bubbly beverages in the comfort of your home. On a long scale, acquiring a soda maker for home use, you can also save quite a lot of money that you'd pay buying cans of soda from a store.
Soda isn't the only drink that you can prepare in a soda maker machine. It is also fit for carbonating tap water. The only thing we'd recommend you to do first is equip your kitchen sink with a water filter so that the water you use is clean of all harmful additives and impurities.
What Features to Compare
Type
A variety of soda makers for domestic use falls into two major categories: soda syphons and soda maker appliances or saturators. A soda syphon is usually a bottle with an inserted replaceable CO2 cartridge to infuse water with bubbles via a special valve. Commonly, syphons are easy to store and move around, and simple to use. Yet, they provide a lesser degree of control over carbonation level and are not meant to produce large amounts of seltzer water. So, syphons are perfect for casual soda drinkers.
Soda saturators or stationary soda makers are actual appliances. Being rather simple, they offer an automated way of making soda. They use a carbonator cylinder filled with CO2 and installed on one side of the machine to deliver fizz water into the bottle attached on the other side. They produce soda easier and faster at a single touch of a button. Soda water machines are a great option for those who need a source of carbonated water on a regular basis.
Materials
In syphons, bottles are usually made of aluminium to be more lightweight yet durable. When it comes to soda making machines, the body is made either of plastic or metal or a combination of both. Though a metal design looks more solid, it is heavier and less portable. Water bottles or carafes are made of either plastic or glass and come with closures to store your drink in the fridge. In case of plastic bottles, always check for BPA-free plastic.
Cartridges and Capacity
Compact syphons use small disposable 8g CO2 cartridges. One cartridge goes for 1 litre of water that is exactly a syphon bottle capacity. This type of soda makers is compatible with any 8g cartridges available in the stores.
Soda maker appliances boast times the higher capacity. They are compatible with bigger CO2 cylinders designed for carbonating 60 or 130 litres of water. Besides, they have an adjustable carbonation option to optimize the gas consumption. Hence, you can forget about refilling the cylinders for up to 3 months.
Usability
There are several features that contribute to soda makers ease of use and allow us to appreciate all the benefits of making sparkling water at home. For user convenience, both automated appliances and syphons offer simple intuitive control buttons and levers. All soda makers allow for carbonation level adjustment. More sophisticated machines are distinguished by preset fizz modes while others offer manual carbonation adjustment by pressing a carbonator button. Some models even come fitted with an LED indicator or a display showing how carbonated your drink is. Thus, you can make a mild sweet beverage for your kid or a cocktail with a stronger fizz for yourself. In addition, soda makers often are complete with a variety of syrups allowing you to experiment with flavours of your drinks. Packed with CO2 cartridges, bottles and a range of flavoured syrups, most appliances can be used right out of the box.
FAQ:
Q: Why should I get a soda maker?
A: A soda maker will become a very helpful appliance for real soda or seltzer enthusiasts and occasional drinkers as well. The major benefits include:
- saving your time, efforts and, eventually, money. You won’t have to carry heavy cases of bottles and cans from the store and find the space for them in a fridge;
- greatly reducing the number of recyclables and disposables since soda makers come with reusable glass or plastic bottles;
- no more worries about running out of your favourite bubbly drinks. With a soda maker at hand, you can make a glass of sparkling lemonade whenever you wish;
- health benefits should not be underestimated too. To make a custom drink, you can choose from a vast variety of flavoured syrups with dietary, naturally sweetened and caffeine-free options available. No more high-fructose corn syrups!
- freedom to experiment with flavours by adding different ingredients to your liking and creating new unexpected yet delicious combinations.
Q: Do I need to treat water somehow to use it with a soda maker?
A: Actually, you can use any type of water you commonly drink, be it plain tap water, bottled water or filtered water. The only recommendation is to use cold water for getting the best results.
Q: Can I carbonate any other drinks except water?
A: Most models are designed to carbonate only water since any other liquid can cause damage to the carbonating system. Yet, you can come across soda makers that on top of carbonating your beverage can infuse it with fruit. Anyway, you can always customize your fizzy drink by adding some syrup, fruit or herbs into a carbonated water.
Q: Is it possible to re-carbonate my drink if it goes flat?
A: If you drink plain seltzer water and it is not that bubbly anymore you can re-fizz it. Yet, if you’ve already mixed a cocktail or added some extra ingredients like fresh juice or fruit, you cannot re-carbonate since this may damage the carbonator.
Q: Does my home drink maker require some specific cleaning?
A: Both automated soda makers and syphons are very easy to clean requiring no special procedures. To clean the appliance, it is enough to wipe it with a soft, damp cloth using non-abrasive cleansers. As far as carbonating bottles are concerned, most glass bottles are dishwasher safe, whereas plastic and aluminium bottles can be washed in warm water with a bottle brush and some dishwashing liquid.
Q: Is it safe to have a carbonator at home?
A: Soda maker carbonators are made in full compliance with all safety rules and specifications. Usually, they come equipped with a special valve to release the gas and prevent overpressure if the pressure within the cylinder rises too high. Yet, it’s an unlikely event. The major safety rule every user should stick to is to avoid exposing a cylinder to extreme heat.
