Quick answer

The Aarke Carbonator 3 Burgundy Starter Kit includes the stainless steel sparkling water maker, one 100% renewable food-grade CO2 gas cylinder, and the necessary bottle – everything you need to start making sparkling water at home right out of the box.

What makes the starter kit different from the standalone Carbonator 3?

The standalone Carbonator 3 is just the machine. The Burgundy Starter Kit bundles the sparkling water maker with the first CO2 cylinder and a compatible bottle, so you don't have to source those separately. If you already own a CO2 cylinder or prefer a different bottle, the standalone unit might save you money. But for a first-time buyer, the starter kit removes guesswork.

The CO2 cylinder: renewable and food-grade

Each starter kit ships with a gas cylinder filled with 100% renewable high-quality food-grade CO2, produced in the European Union. That means your first batch of sparkling water uses carbon dioxide sourced from renewable processes rather than fossil-fuel byproducts. When the cylinder runs out, you can exchange it for a refill – the kit gives you a head start.

Decision rules: Is the starter kit right for you?

  • You want a single-box solution: If you're new to sparkling water makers and don't want to hunt for cylinders or bottles, the starter kit has everything you need to carbonate your first glass immediately.
  • You care about sustainability from day one: The included cylinder uses 100% renewable CO2. If that aligns with your values, the starter kit ensures your first cylinder is already the eco-friendly option.
  • You already have compatible CO2 cylinders or bottles: Buying the standalone Carbonator 3 is cheaper if you can reuse existing hardware. The starter kit's value comes from the bundled cylinder and bottle – skip it if you don't need them. Check whether your existing CO2 cylinder is compatible with Aarke's connector before deciding.
