Enjoy the fun and convenience of making your own sparkling water and custom sodas right at home. A soda maker lets you turn plain tap water into fresh seltzer in seconds. It’s a smart and sustainable way to enjoy fizzy drinks without having to buy single-use cans and bottles from the store. Create healthy fruit-infused seltzers or classic sodas the whole family will love. At Ace we have the essentials to help you get started.
What You Need to Get Started with Soda Makers
Setting up your own home beverage station is easy, and you can buy the items as a kit or separately.
Soda Maker Kits
The easiest way to get started is with a soda maker kit. These all-in-one bundles typically include the sparkling water maker, a CO2 carbonator cylinder and a reusable carbonating bottle. Many kits also come with a selection of sample flavorings, so you can start experimenting right away.
CO2 Carbonator Cylinders
The CO2 cylinder is the heart of the system. These cylinders are easy to install and create the fizz for your drinks. Find refills online or at your local Ace Hardware.
Flavorings and Syrups
From classic cola and lemon-lime to a wide range of fruit flavors, there are many flavors to explore. Add a little syrup for a classic soda or just a splash of natural fruit essence for a light and refreshing seltzer.
Carbonating Bottles
It’s a great idea to have a few extra carbonating bottles on hand. You can keep them filled with water in the fridge so they are chilled and ready for fizzing or use them as convenient to-go bottles.
How Does a Soda Maker Work?
Home soda makers are incredibly simple to use. The process only involves a few easy steps.
- Fill the bottle: Start by filling the reusable carbonating bottle with cold water. Cold water carbonates best.
- Carbonate the water: Attach the bottle to the soda maker and press the button. In just a few seconds, the CO2 carbonator cylinder infuses the water with fizz. Depending on your model, you can even control the level of carbonation.
- Add your flavor: If you want more than just sparkling water, add your favorite soda syrup or fruit drops to the bottle. Gently tilt the bottle to mix and your custom drink is ready to enjoy.
The Benefits of a Home Soda Maker
There are many benefits to having a personal carbonated beverage machine at your disposal. Here are a few standout benefits:
- Convenience: Have an endless supply of sparkling water on demand. There are no heavy cans or bottles to carry home from the store.
- Customization: You are in complete control. Adjust the fizziness to your exact liking and create your own unique flavors. And because you control what goes into your drink, you can easily make low-sugar sodas for a health-conscious treat.
- Sustainable: Using a reusable carbonating bottle significantly reduces your household's consumption of single-use plastics and cans.
