Spärkel Beverage System

We have been sailing around the Caribbean for three years on our 44 ft catamaran, and while all of the selzer addicted sailors struggle to find CO2 refills for their tank based carbonators, we have used the Sparkel and never been without. We love our Sparkel

Had this system for a few months now and while I love how many aluminum cans we've saved from going to the landfill, the bottles are leaky and have cracked. I'm not quite sure how it cracked, perhaps being under pressure. I've never dropped or mishandled them. It no longer holds its carbonation. So yep. Even prior to noticing the crack, the o ring seals on the base of the bottle would leak approximately every other cycle. I followed the instructions to check and reseat the o ring, but it's just hit or miss, which when it doesn't work, leaks out all over the counter and wastes carbonators. Kinks need to be worked out.

It is a life changer for us. I waited for a while before writing this review, as I could not believe, that we would stay so happy with it and truly, we like it more and more. You can make flavored ones with pieces of lemon, lime, cucumber or add syrups, or add nothing. We stopped buying bottled seltzer water and also sodas for kids as they love making their own flavors. We are planning or buying the carbonators in bulk instead of buying the sachets as it becomes even cheaper plus it's more ecological.
The only little complaint is that you really need to always check the back container for water, because if you do not have water in there, the final seltzer water won't be bubbly after you finish carbonating it. It's needed for the whole chemical process. I learn my lesson a couple of times. 😉

We're really enjoying it, the process is simple and we like the fact that it can carbonate more than just plain water, plus the ingredients for carbonation have a lower environmental impact.

I make lemony sherbet everyday with sparked.

Also, love the fizz.

Worth a buy!

I adore my Sparkel. I love getting to try different combinations to infuse my waters. With summer fruits abounding, there will be lots of things to Sparkel!

I've been wanting a Soda Stream for years. I've been waiting for them to make it so I didn't have to buy CO2 cannisters. Then came a Sparkel ad. That's what I was waiting for. Carbonated drinks at different levels of fizz and flavored with the natural products of my choice. My favorite combo so far has been lemon, lime, ginger and raspberry. I work a small hobby farm and hydration is important. This contraption fills the bill nicely. I didn't think we would use it every day, but it turns out we've been using it twice daily. Highly recommend!
