An appliance for making an aerated beverage, in which a container of pressurized liquid carbon dioxide is mounted on a connection in a casing, the casing being mounted thereon, a housing for a bottle partly filled with water, means for supporting the bottle in the housing, a nozzle communicating with the carbon dioxide container and a stopper for engaging in the neck of the bottle. A manually operable valve is provided to allow carbon dioxide to enter the nozzle so that it is dissolved in the water. A displacement body on the nozzle is provided so that when a partly filled bottle is introduced with the nozzle therein, the level of the water rises so that only a small amount of air is left above the water in the bottle, thus reducing the wastage of carbon dioxide.

An appliance for making an aerated beverage, said appliance comprising, in combination: (a) a casing; (b) a connection carried by the casing for mounting a container of pressurized liquid carbon dioxide; (c) a housing for a bottle of water carried by said casing; (d) a nozzle communicating with said connection and extending downwardly within said housing; (e) a stopper positioned effective to engage in the neck of a bottle mounted within said housing; (f) means for supporting the bottle in the housing so that the stopper is engaged therein; (g) a manually operable valve selectively allowing carbon dioxide to flow from a container mounted on said connection to said nozzle; (h) a safety pressure valve connected to the interior of the bottle when the stopper is engaged in its neck; and (i) a displacement body associated with said nozzle and capable of being passed into the neck of the bottle, said displacement body displacing a significant volume of air and/or of water, whereby when a bottle partly filled with water is in position, and the nozzle and displacement body are therein, the level of the water is such as to leave only a small volume of air thereabove and around the displacement body.
