At CES 2020, the Rocean One was introduced as a stylish, all-in-one water machine for the home that's capable of filtering, carbonating and flavoring tap water. The multi-use countertop kitchen device has the potential to help cut down on plastic waste and reduce carbon emissions. Created to support mindful consumption, the Rocean One helps to enhance water with multi-use pods that contain everything from natural flavors—like ginger, cucumber or mint—to supplements and other beverage enhancers.
As environmentally conscious consumers are looking for ways to reduce household waste, this system has the potential to keep kitchens from being overwhelmed by single-use plastic.
Rocean One is set to be available for purchase later this year but there is already a waitlist now.
