The people have spoken: alcohol is out, and sparkling water is in. With a record number of young folks drinking less, or not drinking at all, the push for healthier beverage choices can be seen everywhere. From Philadelphia’s soda tax to the viral “fridge cigarette,” the way we drink seems to always be a hot topic. Enter the Aerflo for Hydro Flask carbonation device by Aerflo – an ingenious system that lets you take your bubbles, sweetened or otherwise, on the go.
Fizzy and fresh, the Aerflo For is a portable system that allows you to make top-notch sparkling water at the touch of a button. It’s simple: take the cap off a full Standard Mouth Hydro Flask, load a refillable CO₂ capsule into the Aerflo, and depress the button until desired fizziness is achieved.
Intuitive and sleek, this system can carbonate anywhere, an incredibly satisfying and hydrating experience from start to finish. What’s more, the Hydro Flask vacuum insulation optimizes carbonation while keeping the contents cold.
The sparkling water market, including the accessories for making it, have boomed in the past 10 years. Thought to have peaked with “White Claw summer” in 2019, the industry is now projected to reach almost $2 billion by 2031. Yet in that time, tastes have changed as well – consumers now prefer healthier options, with a bigger focus on cutting down on single-use plastic.
The Aerflo For elegantly solves both these pain points, taking a vessel some might already have and transforming it into a portable sparkling water maker, which users can choose to sweeten to their liking. Since homemade soda is likely to have less sugar than the stuff from the store, it’s an overall win for families as well, allowing kids to discover healthier options at a younger age.
Each CO₂ capsule is refillable, and can make up to 4 bottles. Simply put your used capsules in the included Exchange Box and send them back – you’ll receive a new set of 12 cartridges for $20.95 once they’re returned. For anyone still lugging their Lacroix cans home from the store, this seems like a no brainer: we can now have great-tasting sparkling water at home or on-the-go, save money, and keep it sustainable too. With Aerflo For, the only thing that’s missing is the classic crack of the can.
The Aerflo For includes four CO₂ capsules to start for $64. To learn more about the Aerflo For Hydro Flask, visit aerflo.co.
