I was sick and tired of my drinks being flat after using a half-full bottle of mixer from the fridge. This is super! You can gas pretty much any drink from water to mixers or cordial. You can even make up your G+T, Aperol Spritz etc, gas it, then store in the fridge for later. You can get 0.5 or 1 litre bottles – I tend to use the smaller. Don’t go mad with gassing mixer drinks though – a light invigoration is enough or all you taste is the bubbles!
I drink a lot of seltzer. My DrinkMate is easy and FAST to use, lets me add any flavor, and gives me a choice about the level of fizz. With a gallon of cold water in the fridge, I can make a new bottle of seltzer in less than a minute. I bought two extra bottles so I can have several flavors ready. And no more cans or bottles to recycle! One of the best things i’ve bought in months.
I am very pleased with my Drinkmate. It is sturdy, and easy to use. I have it sitting next to my five-gallon bottle of spring water in my workshop. The 750 ml bottle is just the size for filling a wine, juice or water bottle. I keep a bottle of sparkling water in my workshop refrigerator. When my supply is gone, I simply fill up the Drinkmate bottle with spring water, screw on the cap and insert it into the Drinkmate holder. Then three one-second pushes of the button releases enough CO2 to do the job. I then remove the bottle, unscrew the top and pour the water into my recapable Grolsch bottle and place it into the refrigerator to cool. The effervescent lasts for days and it has never gone flat on me since I drink a bottle probably every 2-3 days. A little shake of the bottle ‘wakes up’ the bubbles! The whole process takes less than a minute! I am very pleased with the product which seems to cost me about $0.18 per bottle compared to $0.78 in the store! I have not yet sought out replacement CO2 cartridges, but from what I read, they are readily available with trade-ins.
I drink a lot of water. It gets boring. I hate buying small bottles of fizzy water and the big ones lose their fizz before I can finish them. Plus I hate having bottles pile up. I’ve had my eye one one of these carbonators for awhile and finally took the plunge. This one got good reviews, has free returns for used canisters and has the added bonus of being able to carbonate beverages other than water without voiding the warranty. Mostly though, I use it for water and mix in a little juice or tea for a nice refreshing beverage. Fizzy hibiscus tea is the best.
The rate of bottled carbonated water my family goes through and my own Dr Pepper Zero habit, I decided to buy a carbonator. I read an article on CNET rating the different carbonators. Sodastream seems like the go to but expensive. I wasn’t aware that there were other brands. The Drinkmate met all of my criteria. Price being the biggest factor, it’s rating, and the fact that it’s described as being able to carbonate anything. The other descriptions never mention this. Drinkmate offers different bundles. The most inexpensive one is very basic. It comes with a bottle but no carbonation canisters. Drinkmate sells other bundles that include canisters. I got the medium priced bundle with 2 large canisters. The price of buying canisters separately is more expensive than what I payed for this bundle. However Drinkwell sends a coupon and prepaid return label to return used canisters and Amazon and Target also have canister trade in programs. As my pics shows, set up is easy. The directions tell you to wash out the bottle and fizz infuser before first use. These aren’t dishwasher safe and I used a pink silicone bottle washer, also purchased on Amazon, to easily wash the bottle. On the sides of the fizz infuser are little black tracks. This is to slide into and remove from the infuser adapter. When opening the back before installing the canister, there’s a black cap that comes out and disposable. The canister also has a removable disposable black cap and the gold top is screwed into the back of the carbonator. It’s a little difficult to screw into and takes a little effort before it attaches. I bought sodastream’s version of Diet Dr Pepper brand of syrup Diet Dr Pete, and couldn’t be more satisfied. To me it tastes better than the original. I also put some lemon juice, and crystal light into bottles to carbonate and my family loved it. I hate flat soda but 2 hours after making, my soda’s still well carbonated. I feel this will more than pay for itself. I’ll update if any problems.
I love sparkling water but like most people did not like the carrying the bottles from the supermarket.
Bought this following the reviews and it is just perfect. Sits nicely on the work top. Although my first use I couldn’t quite work out how to disconnect the bottle from the machine but once you do it once it is simple.
Takes a couple of minutes to fill container, add gas and ready to go.
Love it. Not locked into only carbonating water. The amount of carbonation can be adjusted by the number of presses of the button. Love being able to carbonate diluted fruit juices, from mango to apple it all comes out perfect.
Most used counter item outside of coffee maker. So easy to use we are buying two more bottles. We love to water down juices and carbonate them. Efficient, convenient, easy to use and almost no cleaning!! Sooo happy. Someone suggested rocking the bottle, after the quick carbonation shots. We find that helpful to ensure maximum carbonation. This thing pays for itself quickly, especially with prices of everything going up.
J’aime bien pouvoir l’utiliser avec d’autres boissons, jus et autres, mme le Gatorade.
It is so easy to use.. reliable and I’m enjoying my drinks
great for revitalizing flat drinks and making sparkling water from your tap.
Easy to use. Great Carbonation. No power needed. Love the option of adding fizz to old pop, juices and whatever else sounds fun with bubbles, but take it slow because it will spit foam out if you use anything but water if you go too quickly… which makes sense. First try, only fill the bottle halfway or so. Definitely awesome though. So glad not to have so much sparkling water can waste, not to mention increasing the life span of two liters. Like it much better than my Soda Stream, I had the fancy glass bottle one and even just comparing sparkling water, this one is lighter, easier to use, and doesn’t get that weird soggy smell the canister of our Soda Spring used to which seemed impossible to clean out. If you want a way to make things have bubbles, this is the way to go.
I was spending $9 a day on Sparkling Water at the store. No more!
I put my water in the Fridge, get it near freezing, and then add Bubbles with Drinkmate.
Better sparkling water than what I get in the store. I have an expensive RO system which helps.
I am super happy with this purchase.
I purchased this mostly with the promise of being able to carbonate any liquid. I like many things about the DrinkMate. I like that it doesn’t require power so it’s easy to find a place on the counter since it doesn’t need an outlet. It doesn’t take much footprint space though it is tall. I also purchased two 1/2 liter bottles. I like these even better than the one liter bottle that comes with it. The smaller quantity seems just right to carbonate. My favorite is to add a couple maraschino cherries and a splash of the sweet cherry juice…so yummy!
Tips…COLD water. Carbonate, release pressure, carbonate again. Ready to go! And try the 1/2 liter bottles!
My only hesitation is whether this will actually be cheaper in the end. I love not having so many cans/plastics around. As a state with bottle redemption, it’s become such a pain to do this chore. I’d like to mess with hooking this up to a CO2 tank from a liquor store to see if that is a more affordable option. Time will tell.
The product works fine, but when the cartridges wear out and you return them for an exchange……NOTHING! The product is now unusable.
This is difficult to use! Also the CO cylinders run out before they make only a few carbonated drinks!! I’ NOT THRILLED W/THIS Product ! F. A.
After buying seltzer for years I was always curious about the source of the water. Some store brands just say bottled in New Jersey. I had visions of someone filling bottles with a hose and adding carbonation. This simple system lets me carbonate water from a reliable source-me. Whether it’s my own filtered water or a nice bottle of Fiji, it tastes amazing. Great it you like it plain or want to make something with flavor. We made a homemade cream soda that was better than anything in the store. Also, I had a bottle of tonic water that had gone a little flat… one little burst and it was good as new.
This was a Mothers day gift for my daughter-in-law. Her and the kids have really enjoyed using it!!
I bought this as a birthday gift for my daughter and she really likes it. It’s easy to use and you can do a lot of different flavors of drinks with i
I LOVE my new Drinkmate ! I have been using it every day for a couple of weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Beside the socio/political reasons that I have for not wanting to support Sodastream products, I can’t understand why anyone would want to limit themselves by buying this type of device that can only carbonate water. With the Drinkmate, I have been fizzing up all kinds of juices. Lemonade is particularly delicious. (just have to strain out any pulp first) I also use the 100% fruit juice choices that various brands offer, like Cran/Rasberry, etc. I highly recommend this product !
This product is exactly what I expected based on the description. Easy to use, light weight, works great.
Great item and fast shipping. No electricity needed to work. Highly recommend
Like the simplicity with which it assembles. Fizzes well and quickly. I like that the CO2 cylinders can be exchanged
So easy to use..I normally add a few drops of regular water flavoring like crystal lite..one of my favorite is grape..press the button a couple times and it is like I am having grape.soda…so good
You do have to follow the directions, once we all got the hang of it even my teen can make his own soda. One cannister has lasted about three months so far. We use the machine about every other day. I thought the pricing was excellent for the machine (in red) plus two co2 cannisters.
Love this! I’m glad I researched before buying a Sodastream, which only allows carbonation of water. Why limit yourself? I love the ability to carbonate any liquid. Ingenious!
We now have seltzer for drinks on demand. No more buying, storing, and wasting partially used bottles. Just make sure whatever you are carbonating is close to 40 degrees for maximum carbonation. We pour straight from our filter pitcher in the refrigerator. We’ve also taken refrigerated white wine and turned it into sparkling wine. I’d recommend buying the accessory pair of half liter bottles if you are working with quantities for a couple servings. Less air space in the container means less wasted CO2. Also use the manufacturer’s tip of shaking the carbonated bottle after removing it from the machine but BEFORE releasing the pressure and removing the fizz infuser cap. Somehow this forces more carbonation into the liquid. If you have left over sparkling liquid you can store it in the refrigerator with the included screw top cap for 24 hours with only a small loss of effervescence. Highly recommended!
Love it, use it daily. I had been using a soda stream, but got the DrinkMate, wish I would have got the DrinkMate sooner. Super easy to use, and clean. Perfect amount of carbonation, with every drink I have tried so far. Just wish it had bigger co2 tanks.
Love this!
I bought the Soda Stream brand in the past, but when bought another, the soda steam product was horrible.
Wasted CO2, huge messes from leaking, and more complicated to use .
This brand is the real deal.
You can carbonate more than just water too.
Good price !
I love making my own carbonated drinks using the Drinkmate and especially since you can use it to make carbonated drinks out of anything as long as it’s pulp free. I did have trouble with the co2 cylinders not lasting as long as advertised but I have to tell you that this seller has GREAT customer service. They made everything right! I would definitely recommend buying from them!
Doesn’t take much room, I have the one in red so it’s cute on my black granite counter. It’s very easy to use. CO2 lasts a long time and I use it every day.
Works great – minus one star because you can carbonate black coffee.
Love this machine! Never had an other brand but this is easy to use and has a great level of carbonation!
This bubbly water maker is easy to use and a good compact size to keep on countertop. I especially like that it does not need batteries or a plug, making it portable.
We really love this. You can use flavored water, soda flavoring, juice (as long as no pulp). You can control the amount of carbonation. This machine is not electric so no plug. It also has a very narrow footprint. It’s easy enough for my kids to make soda.
Love this product and use it everyday! I love that I can carbonate any liquid and have had fun experimenting! I haven’t had any issues and totally satisfied!
Now I can make carbonated water anytime I want. It is so easy. Instructions were easy. I tried gatorade and came out bubbly and tasted great. I added fresh squeezed OJ in the water and carbonated that. Not bad. Haven’t tried lemons or limes yet. Definitely enjoying my bubbly water.
excellent carbonation, easy to clean. super fun to try new things to carbonate.
what the hell
The fizz infuser part started leaking randomly, then the bottle lock mechanism got stuck somehow and broke entirely.
I didn’t even get through one co2 bottle
EDIT-
I contacted the seller and sent images of what was broken. The seller sent replacement parts per warranty.
It’s working wonderfully now
Love this thing, perfect taste even with no flavor added! Makes my life easier, I don’t have to try to carry large and heavy cases of water and soda!
Fun and easy to use. We use it for Lotus Energy Drinks.
I’d also recommend buying the half-liter bottles. For us the full liter was too much and just wasted CO2.
I bought the unit with 2 CO2 cylinders included which I think is perfect. Do yourself a favor and buy one of the adapters here that lets you fill from a standard 5 pound CO2 cannister. You can get the 5 pound cannisters at most liquor stores for about twenty bucks plus a deposit and you can refill the drink mate cannisters over 5 times with it. that’s about four bucks a refill compared to the $15 plus shipping that drink mate will charge you.
All in all a good unit that I would buy again.
Product works great, but in the description it says the drink maker comes with two CO2 tanks I only received one CO2 tank.
Loooooveeeee this product!!! My husband and I only drink sparkling water when we go to restaurants, and in general drink mostly water, we don’t like sodas that much. And we don’t buy bottled water because who wants all that plastic?! So we were missing out sparkling water, and this product was the perfect solution. I was a little skeptical about the end result, but it turned out to be just perfect! Nice, crisp, sparkling water. We absolutely love it!!! So easy to use, doesn’t need to be plugged in (I honestly don’t understand why there are some electrical ones, pushing that pump is the easiest thing, and you only need to do it 2 or 3 times) super lightweight and small enough. I love everything about it!
I debated for a long time on this purchase. I got it to save money on cans of seltzer, and to reduce my waste/recyclables. I LOVE it because I can make any type of seltzer I want, it’s so fast, simple, easy to use, and barely takes up any room on my counter.
I know a lot of reviews say that this machine is better than the sodastream. I’ve never used sodastream, so I can’t say either way. I personally was avoiding sodastream for human rights reasons.
Works as advertised.
Easy to use.
Delicious. Just like bottled water without all of the plastic or aluminum cans.
This is awesome! I should have bought one years ago. Working from home since March due to COVID, I was drinking bottles of fizzy water at home and limiting myself to a half bottle only per day due to my aversion to single use plastic. Now I am drinking two Drinkmate bottles a day of water and not having to buy all those plastic bottles so it saves money too. Really a great product and I’m using it in conjunction with a fruit-infuser pitcher to make healthy, fruit-infused fizzy water.
Easy to use. If you love soda, sparkling drinks or seltzer water this is a must have item. I love it! I think my daughter loves it more.
Easy to use…you can add as much carbonation as you like plus your not limited to just water. First CO2 bottle has been in use (daily) over 3 weeks and is still going strong.
I’ve had this for a couple months and I love it. It’s not electric – just put in the bottle of cold water, press the top button twice for a second and it’s ready to go. CO2 cartridges seem to last a month or more and I use it every day. I wish I’d done this years ago. It’s great to not be adding plastic waste to the world.
Fun to have the ability to try different beverages and juices.
This product is easy to use, and the water tastes great with and without flavoring, but it’s not as carbonated as I expected – it’s not like store-bought seltzer.
Love it. So easy to use. Can make bubble on any kind of juice.
Does everything good and able to mix any liquid with no problem. Good as any professional product purchased.
We are big seltzer drinkers in our home and got tired of purchasing and disposing of cans. We decided to get the DrinkMake Sparkling water maker this past Christmas and have been enjoying it ever since. So far it works like a charm. Easy to use and the 60ML CO2 canisters last quite a while with regular usage (we got a few months out of the first cartridge). I have also fizzed cranberry juice in it and coconut water and learned quickly for non-water beverages to fill it only halfway as they tend to fizz a lot more. I would definitely recommend this product so far.
I am very happy with this purchase! My drinkmate gets used almost daily. We have fun experimenting with flavors and recipes. I can even recarbonate drinks that have sat awhile easily. I only wish the gas was not so costly.
I personally like this over soda stream. The ability turn anything into soda is bar far the best feature.
Sent this as a gift to my boyfriend. It is well worth it for someone that drinks soda water all the time. I’m very happy with it.
I love the shape (very narrow so it fits anywhere! Love making my own soda, haven’t done anything except water, but will try other liquids soon.
Works great. Gave as a gift to my fianc and she loves i
Best buy I have made this year. Makes great flavoured soda drinks, and even better cocktails…a must-have. Should have bought years ago, I would have saved a lot of money not purchasing coke. Try the diet rootbeer…it is true awesomeness!
While I find this product to be an excellent addition to the kitchen, it seems exorbitantly expensive for molded plastic and a valve.
That said, it works well and adds plenty of carbonation to all your favorite drinks.
Great product that I’ve had for over a year and have purchased 3 since our guts. The soda stream canisters work with the product. Either way, if the recycling locations don’t accept the brand. (Psst! Do nott steal zfgvvi
