Glacier Fresh, a manufacturer of water filtration solutions, has introduced two soda makers to its portfolio: Sparkin Cold and Sodaology. The Sparkin Cold soda maker is said to be the first soda maker capable of generating cold soda. The machine delivers a “refreshing sensation” of chilled sparkling water with a simple touch of a button, achieving the perfect balance of carbonation and coolness. It also serves as a water cooler dispenser, providing options for sparkling and chilled water to cater to individual preferences. In addition, the Sparkin Cold machine also features a comprehensive safety protection system that includes a carbonation degree alarm and an automatic pressure relief design. Meanwhile, the Sodaology soda maker introduces a carbonation method that infuses CO₂ from the bottom, leading to increased dissolution and larger bubbles. According to Glacier, the unit elevates the drinking experience by enriching the “flavour and effervescence” of carbonated beverages. Furthermore, Sodaology’s wide-mouth bottles enable effortless carbonation of various drinks, including those containing solid ingredients like fruit slices. Designed with a detachable structure, Sodaology ensures effortless cleaning and maintenance.
