How we test soda makers

Regardless of what you choose for your project, each container will no doubt come with its unique nuances and challenges. If you enjoy fizzy drinks, then we certainly think so. Firstly, soda makers use no electricity, so they won’t add anything to your energy bill. Instead, these stand-alone machines are fitted with a canister of CO2 that releases gas into your water when you press a button or pull a lever.

Finally, they carry out a blind taste test with a thirsty panel. Every machine’s sparkling water is tasted and compared with shop-bought sparkling water. The results are assessed according to flavour, and how the fizz feels inside your mouth. After the bottle is secured to the launch kit, pressurize the bottle. The launch kit has a valve for pumping up the bottle (like you would find on a bicycle). You could use a bicycle tire pump, but it takes a lot of work and the time between launches increases. If you use an air compressor, getting the pressure up to around 90 psi only takes about 10 seconds. Easily removable base: Gas canisters screw in and should be easily accessible for removing after. Some makers have removable bases that require a screwdriver to release.
