A while back, I came across a fascinating video about John Nese, the owner of the famous Galco’s Soda Pop Stop in LA. One thing that stood out to me was his response when asked about how much soda he drinks. Nese mentioned that he enjoys one or two sodas a day, mainly because he "just likes the bubbles." Although I love exploring specialty soda flavors in stores, nothing compares to the convenience of creating your own bubbly concoctions at home. When I heard that Breville was launching a carbonated beverage maker with a feature not found in competitors like SodaStream, I knew I had to give it a try. In a short span, the Infizz Fusion has become one of my favorite and most-used kitchen gadgets. Design-wise, the Infizz Fusion by Breville exudes luxury, as expected. Priced at $250, it may seem expensive compared to basic soda makers that cost $100 or less. However, the premium design featuring a stainless steel body, die-cast lever, and magnetic spill tray sets it apart from cheaper alternatives. The sleek look of the Infizz Fusion and Aarke’s Carbonators make them stand out as countertop-worthy appliances. It would be great if Breville offered an optional glass bottle, as the Infizz Fusion currently uses plastic 0.6- and 1-liter containers with a proprietary connector. Operating the Infizz Fusion is incredibly easy. Simply attach a one-pound CO2 tank, pour water into the bottle, secure the FusionCap, and twist it into the machine. Press the lever for a few seconds, and voila! No power source is needed, providing flexibility in placement within your kitchen. The satisfying click when attaching components ensures a secure fit, preventing mishaps during use. When it comes to taste, the Infizz Fusion excels in carbonating various beverages beyond just water. From cider to flat soda to wine, the possibilities are endless. This feature sets it apart from other home soda makers like the Drinkmate. Adding bubbles to drinks like orange juice or lemonade creates a refreshing alternative, perfect for hot summer days. While some beverages may not carbonate well, and milk-based drinks are a no-go due to curdling, the Infizz Fusion offers a wide range of options for creating bubbly concoctions. It's important to release pressure slowly when carbonating non-water drinks to avoid spills. Having an extra 0.6-liter bottle is handy for enjoying smaller portions of sparkling beverages. In conclusion, if you're looking for a versatile soda maker with a premium design, the Breville Infizz Fusion is the way to go. While a basic SodaStream suffices for seltzer enthusiasts, the Infizz Fusion caters to those who want to carbonate a variety of beverages in style. For those seeking a more upscale option with glass bottles, Aarke’s Carbonator Pro is a solid choice. The Infizz Aqua is another alternative for those focused on carbonating water only. But if you want a device that can transform almost any drink into a bubbly delight while boasting an elegant design, the Breville Infizz Fusion is a top contender.
