Fizz keeper

Types of fizz keepers

A fizz keeper is a device that helps retain the carbonation and freshness of opened carbonated beverages like soda or sparkling water. Different types of fizz keepers serve the same purpose but are designed differently. Some are mechanical tools, while others are electronic. They include:

• Screw cap

  This is the most common type of soda cap keeper. It comes in a variety of sizes to fit almost any bottle. It is a plastic cap that can be screwed onto the top of an opened soda bottle. These caps are inexpensive and simple to use. They are portable and can be used anywhere. They are ideal for bottles with large openings, such as soda bottles. They are effective in preserving the freshness of soda.

• Lever cap keeper

  A lever cap keeper has a plastic top with a lever on both sides. It is a reusable beverage cap that can be opened and closed by pushing the lever. These caps are easy to put on and take off because they come with a one-hand operation lever. They are ideal for people who are always on the go. They are simple to use and reusable. They come in a variety of sizes and are affordable. They work well in keeping the fizz in larger bottles of soft drinks and other beverages.

• Fizz keeper pump

  A fizz keeper pump is a mechanical device that removes air from a bottle to keep the fizz in soda. It has a pump and a valve in the cap. The pump creates a vacuum inside the bottle by removing all the air with just a few pumps. The cap valve then prevents air from coming back into the bottle to flatten the drink. This keeps the carbonation from going flat and preserves the drink's freshness, taste, and bubbles for days. Fizz keeper pumps are cheap, portable, and easy to use anywhere.

• Electronic fizz keeper

  These are automatic fizz keepers. They have an electric motor that turns on at the push of a button. It will seal the bottle and activate the vacuum with just one touch. The cap will close and the pump will create a vacuum seal automatically. It is easy to use and very convenient. Electronic fizz keepers are more expensive than the manual pumps, but they are also more durable and efficient. They are ideal for large families or for use in bars and restaurants where many bottles need to be sealed quickly.

• Fizz keeper straw

  A fizz keeper straw is a reusable straw that can be fitted into an opened soda bottle. Some straw models have valves at the top that prevent air from coming back into the bottle when the straw is immersed in a drink. Others have a one-way valve that allows users to suck in the drink without letting out any air to keep the fizz in the rest of the drink. These fizz keepers are portable and easy to use. They are usually made of plastic or metal and can be used in any type of bottle.

Design of fizz keepers

• Fizz keeper cap

  The fizz keeper cap is made of food-grade plastic. It is designed to fit on the mouth of any bottle containing carbonated drinks. It is a simple device that keeps the drink inside the bottle fresh and prevents it from going flat. The design of the cap incorporates a one-way valve. This valve allows gas to escape only when the bottle is opened and prevents any gas from coming back in. The cap also has a tight-fitting rubber gasket that makes it impossible for air to enter or leave the bottle. The cap is lightweight and can easily be carried along. It is also easy to use. One just has to place it on the bottle and twist it until it fits snugly.

• Fizz keeper pump

  The fizz keeper pump is also made of food-grade plastic. It is a small handheld pump that can be used to remove air from bottles. The pump consists of a large handle and a small cylinder base. The base is fitted with a rubber stopper that fits into the top of the bottle. The stopper is designed to fit various bottle sizes and shapes. The pump is designed to create a vacuum inside the bottle, which keeps the carbonated drinks fresh for a long time. The pump works on the principle of air pressure. When the handle is pushed down, the air inside the bottle is forced out through the small valve in the stopper. Pulling the handle back up causes the handle to reinsert the stopper into the bottle neck, sealing it airtight. A fizz keeper pump is portable, simple, and easy to operate.

Scenarios of fizz keepers

• Bars and restaurants:

  Fizz keepers are very valuable in commercial settings like bars and restaurants where many soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are served. Since these places normally have a high volume of drink sales, the use of fizz keepers will guarantee that opened soda bottles and champagne remain fresh and bubbly for customers. This will improve customer satisfaction while reducing wastage of drinks that go flat before being consumed.

• Event planning and catering:

  Professionals in event planning and catering who serve carbonated drinks at weddings, parties or corporate events can also benefit from using fizz keepers. With so many drinks being served over a long period of time, it is common for some to be left untaken and go flat. However, with fizz keepers, all soda and champagne brought to the event will stay fizzy throughout even if not consumed immediately. This way, guests' expectations are met as all beverages retain their original taste.

• Home bars and personal collections:

  Individuals who have home bars or personal wine and champagne collections can also make use of fizz keepers. When hosting small gatherings where only a few drinks are needed, the rest of unopened bottles tend to remain sealed until after the occasion. Without the proper closure, such stored carbonated beverages may lose their quality due to opening for long periods. By keeping these excess drinks under fizz keepers until when served later, they maintain freshness even weeks after opening. This ensures that any champagne or soda saved for special occasions still taste as if just bought from store.

How to choose a Fizz keeper

• Type of Fizz Keeper:

  Several types of fizz keepers are available in the market. One should choose the kind that will be most useful for them. Handheld keeps, as their name suggests, are handheld devices that are used to pump out the air from soda bottles. They are small, portable, and easy to use. They are also compatible with almost all kinds of soda bottles. However, some require more physical effort to operate. Electric fizz keepers are battery-operated machines that remove the air from opened soda bottles. They are effortless to operate and require no manual effort at all. They are generally more expensive than the handheld ones, though. Their maintenance cost is also high. The fridge keeps are designed specifically to fit into the fridge and keep the soda cool and fresh. They take up very little space and are compatible with many soda bottles. However, they are useless if one does not have space in their fridge to accommodate them. The clip-on keeps can be clipped onto soda bottles to keep them fresh. They are very compact and portable, but their compatibility is limited, as they can be fitted onto certain bottles only.

• Build Material:

  Fizz keepers are made from different types of materials. One should choose the material that will be most useful to them. Plastic fizz keepers are lightweight, inexpensive, and impact-resistant. However, they are not very durable and cannot withstand heat. Metal fizz keepers are durable, heat-resistant, and possess a sleek look. However, they are more expensive than other materials. Glass fizz keepers, on the other hand, are aesthetically pleasing and do not react with beverages. However, they are very fragile and generally costlier than other materials.

• Size and Compatibility:

  When choosing a fizz keeper, one should consider its size and the bottles it will be fitted onto. Some fizz keepers are large and cannot be fitted onto smaller bottles, while others are the exact opposite. Moreover, some fizz keepers can be fitted onto bottles of all sizes, making them more convenient. Additionally, the size of the fizz keeper should be considered. If space is an issue, one should go for a fizz keeper that is smaller in size.

• Ease of Use:

  Different fizz keepers have different mechanisms. Some are simpler to use than others. One should go for the fizz keeper that is the easiest to use. Hand-operated fizz keepers require less manual effort in some devices, while others are simple to operate with just the press of a button. Some even have a one-touch operation.

• Price:

  Fizz keepers are available in various price ranges. One should choose the one that will be most beneficial without compromising quality. Generally, electric fizz keepers are more expensive than the handheld ones, while the fridge keeps cost more than the clip-on keeps. However, this is not a hard and fast rule, and prices can vary depending on the brand and supplier.
