1. Ninja Thirsti

This countertop machine delivers a variety of flavor and carbonation levels to bring life to your water.

$180 at Ninja

If you can't stand the taste of plain water, the Ninja Thirsti could be a game-changer when it comes to your hydration routine.

This countertop drink system uses flavored pods (which contain zero calories and added sugar) to transform every glass or bottle of water into a flavorful drink you'll want to sip on all day long. Plus, you can mix and match flavor pods and even tweak carbonation levels, so every drink is unique (and you'll never get bored drinking water again).

2. Vitapod Beverage System

Invest in a countertop hydration system or portable bottle that brings flavors and health benefits to your hydration routine.

Buy at Vitapod

If you're looking for a way to squeeze more vitamins and minerals into your diet, the Vitapod Hydration System could be a multipurpose tool. This is another countertop machine that uses recyclable flavor pods with added benefits like vitamins, electrolytes, and antioxidants.

The brand also offers a Vitapod Go, which brings all those benefits into a portable bottle—which we tested and loved.

3. Cirkul water bottle

Adjust flavor levels to match your mood on the go with Cirkul.

Buy at Cirkul

If you're always on the go, it may not make sense to invest in a countertop appliance you won't take full advantage of. Instead, opt for a portable hydration system, like the Cirkul water bottle. Similar to the Vitapod Go bottle, the Cirkul uses the brand's pods that attach to the bottle to give plain water a flavor boost.

What sets Cirkul apart is its ability to customize flavor levels, so you can enjoy a mild, strong, or in-between flavor level with the push of a dial. Best of all, Cirkul pods are free from sugar and artificial ingredients. And some varieties even offer added benefits, like electrolytes and caffeine.

4. Air Up water bottle

Hack your brain with the power of scent in Air Up bottles.

Buy at Air Up

Hate plain water, but also hate the idea of mixing add-ins into every bottle of water you drink? Meet the Air Up water bottle, which uses scent to trick your brain into thinking you're tasting flavored drinks—when it's really just plain old water.

When we tested this product, we were skeptical about its ability to transform our taste buds without any real-life flavor. And while we found that our suspicions were accurate—no, drinking water from the Air Up bottle doesn't taste like a flavorful beverage—it still brought a new sensory experience to our hydration routine that truthfully had us reaching for more water throughout the day.

5. SodaStream

This countertop appliance will save you money on single-use bottles and cans of seltzer.

$160 at SodaStream

Yes, carbonated water still counts as water! If you're the type of person who loves stocking up on cans of seltzer, you can cut down on waste (and cost!) with a SodaStream machine.

SodaStream is a leader in the sparkling water machine field, and the brand boasts a wide range of machines with varying features and builds to best suit your kitchen. The E-Terra is highly rated for its modern, sleek design and incredibly intuitive one-click control panel. Plus, the accompanying bottle is dishwasher-safe.
