Quick answer

Choose Puressence Lemon if you want a clean, citrus-forward hint in your water; choose Puressence Raspberry if you prefer a soft berry note. Both are unsweetened, so the dial position controls how much flavor you taste.

What unsweetened means for these two flavors

Neither Puressence Lemon nor Puressence Raspberry adds sweetness. The flavor comes from fruit essence, so your expectation should be a hint of fruit in water rather than a sweetened drink. That makes them useful if you want to move away from sugary beverages without switching to a sweetener-based flavor.

Because there is no sugar or sweetener to mask the essence, the difference between the two flavors is mostly about aroma and citrus versus berry character, not about a sugar level.

When the dial matters more than the flavor

The dial is the main control you have with both flavors. A low setting gives a faint essence that some people find too subtle; a high setting makes the fruit note more obvious. If you are unsure between lemon and raspberry, start at a middle setting and adjust after a few sips rather than judging the flavor on the first pour.

This is also why two people can disagree about the same cartridge: one may be tasting it at a much higher dial position than the other.
