Bonne O
The Bonne O Sparkling Beverage System has transformed the category of home carbonation by focusing on two key elements. First, the team designed an elegant and innovative kitchen appliance that eliminates the need for the cumbersome refilling of CO2 tanks associated with many home carbonation systems. Next, they imagined a line of natural fruit flavours and whole fruit additions that turn any water-based drink into a delicious and healthy infusion. From a 100% natural sparkling mint-infused green tea using a real green tea bag and a sprig of mint to an orange soda using only actual orange slices and water, Bonne O meets the growing demand for healthy beverages and customer-driven customization by giving consumers control of what goes into their family's drinks.
