If Emily Ratajkowski were a water carbonator…

Introducing the aarke water carbonator pro, aka the best thing to happen to your tap water, ever.

Aarke sits there, subtle, sublime and so effortlessly sexy, yet full of intrigue as many do not know what she is.

I’ve always been intrigued by soda-streams, and their bubbly functions, the fact they cut down on single use plastics, and also their appealing nature to the tonic experimental amongst us, but I was never sold enough to purchase a soda stream. Honestly, I was put off by the tacky blue plastic of the soda-stream, and knew that I would not like to display that in my neutral toned kitchen…and then one day, I was browsing Selfridges for a housewarming gift, and found myself in awe by the appliance section, and then my eyes fixated on Aarke. I could not look away. Such beauty must be documented, and so here I am, to share with you the love I have for my Aarke water carbonator.

If you too, are put off by soda-stream’s blueness, trust me when I tell you that you will want to display Aarke proudly on your worktop…like I now do, in the hope my guests will ask me, ‘what is that beautiful contraption?’

The Carbonator Pro is a truly unique sparkling water making system, which has an innovative push-to-lock system, which encloses the glass bottle of tap water, and with a push of a button, your tap water is magically the most bubbly, fresh sparkling water you will ever experience (I kid you not).

I have gone through phases of enjoying sparkling water, in the form of a San Pellegrino, or a Perrier, but what comes along with enjoying those pure bubbles is the tainted thought of the plastic or glass bottles its contained in. I am making a conscious effort to live more sustainably by being mindful of what I am consuming, and so my sparkling water habit was nipped in the bud. Aarke allow you to make your own supply, in their beautiful dishwasher safe, glass water bottles, which I am even happy to have on the dinner table – it quite reminds me of an old school milk bottle.

The whole process is seamless, and even adds some theatrical value to having guests over. In fact, I proudly show them how it works, and the moment I hold down the level to reveal the beautiful bubbles, I bask in the intrigue that my Aarke delivers.

Did I also mention you can add flavour drops to create your very own, home made tonics to keep your gin from getting lonely?

The bubbles are energetic, salty, and taste that much better knowing I am doing something good for the environment.

Aarke are powered by CO2 gas cylinders which are sourced from renewable resources in Europe, and you can have these refilled by Aarke’s Cylinder Loop service which will refill your canister.
