Just FYI, you can keep adding CO2 if you wait a minute after hearing that initial blow-off sound. The CO2 takes a bit to properly infuse into the water.
Very helpful video. I only wish you had demonstrated carbonating orange juice or cranberry juice, because that is the dealbreaker which seems to makes this model SO much better than all the others. The possibilities are endless: bubbly herbal tea, bubbly lemonade, bubbly wine. I assume we have to fill the bottle to the same level if we used juice or lemonade, correct?
I must be doing something wrong because after 3 or 4 pushes the water looks bubbling but it taste nothing like a real bottle of sparkling water. I am pretty disappointed with this product. :(
I do not use 'burst's' or 'pushes'. I simply hold down until i hear the air release. Burst's or pushes are only needed if your trying to limit the amount of CO2 to your taste. I like it full fizz.
Thank you looking for Christmas gifts. 🥰 Quick tip your a great reviewer and I think if you made a video top 10 or top 50 Christmas gifts or something and did a quick review on each you may get some great reach and engagement 👍 much love -donnie
The carbonator (tank of compressed Co2) that came with my Drinkmate is much smaller: "3.0 oz (80g) Food Grade CO2 make up to 10L drinks" [At this point, I don't know what "up to 10L drinks" means]. Only 10 quarts of drink per bottle of compressed air? I think that's lousy, since I got only ONE bottle of compressed air.
3oz co2 cartridge is likely a tester unit, you'll need to purchase regular sized co2 cartridge to be comparable in cost to buying soda from super market.
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 we calculated again. You do save, only if you get the commercial CO2 cans and run a special line over to your soda maker do you save a lot of money, otherwise, not by much just a fun factor and you have the option to avoid sugar and carbs in your own drink mix
@@quabledistocficklepo3597 you might have over paid because this thing usually on sale for 70 dollars with a full size can of co2. See if you can return it if you don't like it. We love ours
the only advantage is you can ad co2 into any drinks you like, but in terms of money saving, not so much especially for me drinks sparkling water mainly, the cost of refilling gas is too much......good vid tho
Check with the seller normally they have a coffer shop in your area where you can exchange your empty bottle for a new one for free or close to nothing
I have a 20 lb co2 tank with an adapter connected to my drinkmate. It has paid for itself many times over, and I save a ton of money. A liter of carbonated water is literally just a few cents.

Good to know, thank you.
Yup, and actually, if you wait several seconds longer between each presses, I find that it won't cause the 4th press to blow off as much either.

So you don't have to fill it to the line. The less liquid you have in there the stronger the bubbles!
I prefer this to the soda stream. It does carbonate juice. I add the lemon to the water before I carbonate. It even carbonates vodka.
yeah, we carbonate our herbal tea and it tastes like sparkling wine.
Thank you. I needed to see it in action before I bought it. Very useful.
Did you buy it???
@@InspiredVideoMarketing Yes it has had lots of use, thank you.
@@WarmCatFurniture Awesome! Thank you!
Where do you add the essences?
You add directly inside the bottle before carbonation.
I wonder if this is good for flat beer?
Yes
With 3 short presses what level of Carbonation you expect?
Low, usually have to press 5-6 times to saturate.
How long does water stay carbonated in bottle?
if sealed well, half a day to a day, if not, they quickly lose carbonation.
How long do the carbon cartridges last?
Depends on use, the original one, maybe couple weeks of daily use?

mine, pressure releases around 10 bursts????

@@1rougwarrior just did it and yes more fizz thank you for the advice
Same. You get it to work any better?
Can someone please give me advise on cleaning the nozzle properly? The tablet is not doing its job enough. Any other ideas?
Best to contact DrinkMate customer support: idrinkproducts.com/pages/contact-drinkmate they are pretty responsive.

Comparable? I thought it was supposed to be a tiny fraction of buying bottled soda.

So now I learn that I paid a hundred bucks for NOTHING.

What's the difference between kinda aligning it and just aligning it
Anyone else had the volume constantly going in and out?
No the sound on the video sounded good to me, if that was what you were talking about.
