What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Carbonation is very strong and immediate, with aggressive fizz and bubbles
- Drinkable plain without the off-taste some unflavored carbonated waters have
- Glass bottle format and strong bubbles make it suitable for mixing with lime or spirits
Reviewers push back
- One reviewer measured extreme acidity and oxidation levels in lab testing
- Carbonation may be too intense for people unaccustomed to heavily fizzy water
- No flavor profile beyond plain mineral water and carbonation
Reviewers agree the carbonation is exceptionally strong and the water drinkable, but one health-focused channel warns it tests highly acidic and oxidizing in lab measurements.
Reviewers praise
- Carbonation is lively and produces a satisfying burp-like sensation without being overwhelmingly harsh in the mouth
- The mineral character delivers a sense of refreshment that plain water does not
- Pairs well with citrus — adding lime is noted as enhancing the drinking experience
Reviewers push back
- Strong mineral taste is unfamiliar and off-putting to those expecting neutral water
- The flavour has been compared to a diluted antacid tablet, suggesting it is an acquired taste
- Carbonation level and mineral bite make it unsuitable for drinking straight if you prefer still or lightly flavoured water
San Pellegrino divides reviewers sharply — those who enjoy sparkling mineral water find it satisfying and refreshing, while those expecting plain still water are put off by its mineral taste and aggressive carbonation.
One reviewer conducts pH and oxidation testing and strongly advises against consumption for health reasons, while others recommend it as refreshing and enjoyable
One reviewer finds the taste unpleasant and nearly undrinkable on its own; two others find it genuinely satisfying and refreshing — the mineral flavour is the core point of disagreement
