NEWS FROM SODASTREAM


SODASTREAM ROYALL-Y PERFECTS SOFT DRINKS WITH NEW PURPLE MACHINE

BRAND NEW RANGE OF SHIMMERING DRINKS MAKERS OFFERS STYLISH LOVERS A FIZZY OPTION

Purple is the colour to be seen in this Spring. And this new drinksmaker from SodaStream is no exception. Decked out in the fashionable Royal shade, the Genesis will add a shimmering hue to kitchens across the country, with the new series of vibrant, nickel plated Genesis machines (rrp. £69.99). The range will be launched in Purple with Green, Blue and Black drinksmaker machines to follow later in the year.

With this year seeing the couple of the year celebrate their first anniversary, the Royal drinks maker is the perfect present for Wills & Kate fans. Or for those celebrating their very own union, the iridescent machine will make an ideal wedding or anniversary gift. So why not add some extra fizz to summer celebrations with a SodaStream home carbonation system.

Those with an environmental conscience will also be able to celebrate the union – a SodaStream drinks maker and reusable carbonating bottle can save up to 2,000 disposable bottles and cans. With an estimated 13 billion plastic bottles disposed of each year, and on average only a 100 out of every 500 bottles being recycled,[i] this is a fantastic way for those who simply must have the latest in kitchen technology to encourage the process of ‘pre-cycling’; avoiding the high usage of plastic bottles in the first instance, saving the need to recycle after use.

With over 40 flavours to choose from in the extensive flavour range, soft drink lovers who want to celebrate the most contempororary colour of love will have endless soft drink options.

Fiona Hope, Managing Director of SodaStream UK comments: “This is the year to celebrate, and here at SodaStream we’re really pleased that we can provide a more environmentally sustainable option for those who want to enjoy sparkling beverages, by giving people the opportunity to pre-cycle. This fantastic new Genesis is a break-through for us, as its’ nickel plating is not only stylish, but will add a touch of durability to any soft-drink loving kitchen.”

SodaStream drinks makers provide an easy, convenient and cost-effective way to transform ordinary tap water into delicious carbonated soft drinks and sparkling water at home. Eliminating the need for single use bottles and cans, just one SodaStream bottle can save up to 2000 shop bought bottles and cans.
