About Fizz Butter

Updated on

Fizz Butter is an independent buying-guide site about home sparkling water makers. We help you work out which countertop carbonator suits your kitchen and your habits, and what it takes to keep one running.

Our guides are written for people who are tired of carrying cases of seltzer home, and for anyone buying a first machine or a gift. We use everyday words, and we explain terms like CO2 cylinder, quick connect and carbonating bottle when they matter.

What we cover

We cover countertop sparkling water makers for the home. That means best-of lists by need, side-by-side comparisons of popular brands, and single-model reviews for machines many people search for.

We also cover the parts that come with owning one: CO2 cylinders and refills, carbonating bottles and carafes, syrups and flavors, running costs and fixes for weak fizz.

How we work

For every model we cover, we read the specs, the maker's own description and what buyers often report. We check what comes in the box, which cylinder and bottle it uses, how you operate it and what the extras cost.

Then we write plain guides, comparisons and clear picks. You can read the details on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't sell sparkling water makers, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

Fizz Butter isn't affiliated with SodaStream, Aarke, Breville, Philips, Ninja or any other maker.

We don't claim to have tested every machine ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

We don't give health advice. A sparkling water maker is a household appliance, and its pressurized parts should always be handled the way the maker's manual says.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
