I found the cherry flavour a little too much, with an odour more akin to cherry-flavoured sweets. ![]() Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)įlavour preference differs from person to person. It’s impressive how much difference a scented pod can make. Pushing the pod down and taking another sip, the water tasted of plain water. It’s a subtle change but one with a definite impact. Rather than the strong taste, as though drinking a cordial, the Air Up pods add a delicate hint of flavour to the water. ![]() The taste is rather different and relies on the right technique, sipping through the straw. Opening a pod for the first time, I was struck by the strong smell that I got from it: it’s a proper, full-on kind of scent. Pods and their transparent cases go in plastic recycling, but the pod pouches can’t currently be recycled, as they have a layer of aluminium Air Up says it plans to change the pouch into a recyclable mono-material in the future. Plus, there’s a lot less plastic in an Air Up pod compared to buying water in plastic bottles. And, as there’s no added sugar or actual flavours, Air Up means you’re drinking plain water. That’s not cheap, as such, but given that flavoured water costs around £1.40 for 1.5-litres, Air Up pods compare well. According to Air Up’s estimates, drinking 1.5 litres of water daily means two pods will last around a week. Pods range between £4.99 and £5.99 for a three-pack, each lasting for around 5-litres of use. Again, personal preference will impact which flavours you like and which you don’t, but there’s genuinely enough choice to find one you like. Some have a more artificial taste to them, others are built to smell closer to the real fruit. There’s a lot of choice, including watermelon, strawberry-lemongrass, apple and more. Scent pods are clipped onto the top of the straw, and should be pulled up to activate the taste, and pushed down if you just want plain water. This creates air bubbles that carry the scent up, delivering the sensation of taste. Unlike traditional water bottles, the Air Up should not be tilted up but should be used with the straw. Then, there’s the top section, which includes the lid, straw and pod holder. I prefer to use filtered water from the ZeroWater 12 Cup, as it removes any nasty taste from tap water. You can use standard tap water or sparkling water (the SodaStream Art is a good choice if you want to make your own). First, the removable lid section gives access to the main bottle so that it can be filled with water. There’s no difference in how the bottles work, but the steel version’s insulated interior will keep drinks cold for up to 14 hours. I’ve got the Air Up 480ml Pitch Black Steel Bottle, but there’s a stainless steel version, too. Design and podsĪir Up has a choice of bottles, including a plastic version (650ml) and the insulated steel version that I have on test in 480ml and 850ml versions. ![]() Whether you’ve got kids that won’t drink much water or you just like a bit more flavour to your drink, the Air Up system is excellent. There’s enough variety in pods to find a flavour that will suit you or your kids, delivering a gentle hint of flavour without any additives or sugars. Using this link, the Air Up system uses scented pods to add flavour to water without actually adding anything to it. It’s the reason why things like oranges and strawberries taste how they smell.
