You might not know it yet, but no good kitchen is complete without a sparkling water maker. Sorry, we don’t make the rules!
This non-essential kitchen appliance is the most essential to our hearts, at least. Because how else are you going to satisfy that late-night urge for a fresh glass of fizzy water without having to drive to the nearest servo?
With one of these sparkling water makers – only the best for you, of course – you’ll be able to whip up a glass or two in as little as 30 seconds! And to make it even sweeter, you can fizz just about anything these days – even tea or coffee (sparkling iced long black, anyone?).
The best sparkling water makers in 2026
Now we know we said sparkling water, but this impressive device can carbonate just about anything. We’re talking juice, tea, wine, cocktails – the options feel endless!
The innovative FusionCap lid allows you to control the release of CO2, meaning you can adjust the fizz according to your taste. Not only that, but it can also retain the carbonation, so your drinks will stay fizzy until you’re ready to serve – how cool is that?
