The Penguin Starter Kit includes:
Penguin Sparkling Water & Soda Machine
1 60 liter Carbonator
2 Penguin Glass Carafes (dishwasher safe)
This fun and eco-friendly Penguin soda charger quickly transforms ordinary tap water into fresh sparkling water. Enjoy it on its own or as the base for cocktails or homemade sodas. It's fun and easy to use: Simply fill the reusable glass carafe with water, insert it into the Penguin and press the carbonating "beak." You can customize carbonation so each batch has just the right amount of fizz. Freshly charged seltzer water is a green alternative to its store-bought counterparts. Conserving energy and resources, it eliminates the need for plastic bottles – along with the environmental impacts associated with shipping and shopping for bottled water – and no batteries or electricity are required. A tasteful addition to any kitchen, dining room or bar area the Penguin whimsically combines form and function in an elegantly designed counter top device.
In addition to making fizzy water, SodaStream also offers more than 25 regular, diet, energy and caffeine-free flavors of syrup (sold separately). Each 500ml soda mix bottle makes the equivalent of 12 liters of soda (about 33 cans). And with over 25 flavors, the possibilities for creative beverages are limited only by your imagination. How about a Creamsicle (Orange and Cream Soda), or a Japanese Beetle (Ginger Ale and Lemon-Lime)? The regular soda mixes contain no high fructose corn syrup, while the diet soda mixes contain no aspartame.
The benefits of the SodaStream drinks maker, compared to ready made bottled drinks:
* Provides an endless supply of sparkling water, freshly made from tap water in just a few seconds.
* No more need to buy, carry or store large quantities of heavy and bulky bottles.
* A wide variety of flavors are produced by SodaStream and other flavors can be created or mixed.
* The ability to make sparkling water as strong or as weak as one likes, makes this soda machine an ideal solution for the family's entire sparkling beverage needs.
The Penguin soda maker carbonates water in a BPA-free, reusable one-liter bottle in less than 30 seconds, without electricity or batteries, and with no clean-up. After loading the carbonator into the soda-maker, fill the bottle with regular tap or filtered water and place it in the soda maker. Just pump the button a few times to add the fizz and in seconds you will have a liter of fresh, tasty soda or sparkling water in a resealable glass bottle that stores compactly in your fridge.
Each glass bottle lasts a lifetime (until you drop it of course) years and negates all worry of chemicals and leaching associated with plastic materials. Each bottle includes a special hermetic sealing cap that keeps drinks fresh and fizzy much longer than store-bought bottles. SodaStream bottles are specially designed for high-pressure resistance and are the only bottles that can be used with SodaStream soda makers. The SodaStream glass bottles are dishwasher safe.
When the CO2 carbonator is empty, you can visit the SodaStream web site to purchase a new CO2 cylinder as well as set up a cylinder exchange, which helps to eliminate waste. SodaStream collects your empty cylinder and returns it to our filling facility where it's cleaned, inspected and refilled.
The SodaStream Jet measures 18 by 8 by 5 inches (HxWxD) and weighs 13 pounds.
