DrinkMate OmniFizz Sparkling Water and Soda Maker

Been using it a TON and it is perfect for me. Simple and multifunctional. Only issue is the CO2 canisters cost a fortune. I knew this going in but I got the two pack cuz I wanted to test the product. Since it’s perfect for me I invested in a tank and adapter with gauge and for $45 fill up on this 20 lb tank I will get roughly 18 months of heavy use probably 6 to 8 bottles per day. The drink mate canister lasted 30 days of 2 bottles per day. So really adds up!

We make seltzer, soda, and carbonated juices at home with this machine- helping us save money and reduce waste! I can’t believe how many cans we use to throw away! Very good and helpful customer service at the company too- thanks !

Simple and works well. Like that it uses standard size cylinders.

Updated review. The lack of communication was Amazons fault, not Drinkmate. Support replaced the device and provided free return for the faulty unit.

Button broke within weeks so the carbonation just shoots out of the top of the machine. Phone and email customer support have not responded in a month. Regret buying it.

I had cheapest Sodastream I bought years ago, and hardly used because no matter what I couldn’t get it fizzy enough for me. I pulled it out recently and tried again using new canister and tips from online, but still wasn’t impressed. Then I saw this, and drooled over it’s ability to fizz things other than water. Aldi’s pineapple wine was a wonderful first attempt, and I used almost every day now!

I bought it at amazon prime day, just for 99 included 2 CO2 Cylinders. I’m very happy that I don’t need to buy a bottle of sparkling water now. And my daughter said that this sparkling water is better than purchased one.

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!

This is a wonderful machine. I have been carbonating everything I’ve been drinking. The bubbles are small and crisp and nothing is safe from being carbonated at this point. I would recommend carbonating a Caprisun and wine. Also – it’s a lot better to buy the CO2 cartridge every once in a while than lug sparkling water home after every grocery store trip. Personally, I think it’s a good investment if you are one who enjoys carbonated beverages.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I like the simplicity. the unit runs on CO2 and nothing else – no electric needed. You can also carbonate anything you want. So far I’ve only done water but I’m sure I will experiment soon. Refrigerate the water before carbonating, then carbonate, let it sit pressurized in the fridge until you want to use it (at least a half hour) and without releasing the pressure, carbonate again. The single-pass carbonation is a bit weak for me but do the 2-pass and it is just as strong if not stronger than store-bought.

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.

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.

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.
