Cream Deluxe 666g and 2000g Maxxi: Complete Product Guide
Cream Deluxe is one of the most recognised names in the cream charger market. Their range spans two cylinder sizes — the 666g standard and the 2000g Maxxi— with multiple flavour variants and a growing lineup of limited editions. This guide covers everything you need to know before you buy: specifications, flavour options, pricing, setup, and which size suits your operation.
Cream Deluxe 666g: the original
The 666g cylinder is where Cream Deluxe built its reputation. It is a steel-body cylinder containing 666 grams of food-grade N2O (E942, 99.9%+ purity), sealed with a standard threaded valve compatible with universal pressure regulators. At roughly 1.8 kg total weight (gas + vessel), it is easy to handle and fits comfortably in any kitchen storage area.
Key specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Net N2O content | 666 g |
| Equivalent 8g cartridges | ~83 |
| Material | Carbon steel |
| Total weight (full) | ~1.8 kg |
| Valve thread | Standard (universal regulator fit) |
| Gas purity | ≥99.9% (E942) |
One 666g cylinder replaces approximately 83 individual 8g cartridges. For a small restaurant or café doing 10–20 siphon loads per day, a single cylinder lasts several days — versus opening a new cartridge every few minutes during service.
Flavour variants
Cream Deluxe offers a wide range of flavoured N2O alongside the standard unflavoured option. All flavoured variants use food-grade flavouring and meet the same 99.9% purity standard as the unflavoured gas. Available flavours include:
- Original — pure, unflavoured N2O
- Blueberry
- Coconut
- Double Apple
- Hawaii
- Kiwi
- Love66
- Pineapple
- Passion Fruit
- Strawberry
- Tequila Apple
- Watermelon
- Black Cobra
Flavoured chargers transfer a subtle aroma and taste to the dispensed cream. They work particularly well for dessert menus (strawberry whipped cream on waffles, coconut cream on hot chocolate) and cocktail bars where an extra flavour layer adds value without extra ingredients or prep time.
For savoury foams, rapid infusions, or any application where you need a neutral carrier gas, choose the Original unflavoured variant.
Sixth Wave Edition
The Sixth Wave Edition is Cream Deluxe’s limited-edition series featuring distinctive packaging and exclusive flavour combinations not found in the standard range. These editions rotate seasonally and tend to sell quickly. The gas specifications remain identical to the standard 666g cylinder — the difference is purely in the flavour profile and collector-oriented presentation.
Cream Deluxe Maxxi 2000g: maximum volume
The Maxxi 2000g is the largest single-use cream charger cylinder on the market. It contains 2,000 grams of food-grade N2O — the equivalent of approximately 250 individual 8g cartridges — in a single steel cylinder with a built-in carry handle.
Key specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Net N2O content | 2,000 g |
| Equivalent 8g cartridges | ~250 |
| Material | Carbon steel |
| Total weight (full) | ~4.5 kg |
| Carry handle | Built-in |
| Valve thread | Standard (universal regulator fit) |
| Gas purity | ≥99.9% (E942) |
The Maxxi delivers the lowest cost per gramof any format in the Cream Deluxe range. Where a 666g cylinder might cost €26–36 (approximately €0.039–0.054 per gram), the 2000g Maxxi at €60–80 brings the per-gram cost down to €0.030–0.040. Over a year of heavy use, the savings are substantial.
The built-in carry handle makes the Maxxi easier to transport despite its weight. It is designed for high-volume kitchens, catering companies, and large events where cylinder changeovers need to be minimised during service.
Available flavours
The Maxxi 2000g is available in the same core flavour range as the 666g: Original (unflavoured), Blueberry, Coconut, Double Apple, Hawaii, Kiwi, Love66, Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Strawberry, Tequila Apple, Watermelon, and Black Cobra.
666g vs 2000g: which size should you choose?
The right size depends entirely on your daily volume and storage situation. Here is a direct comparison:
| Factor | 666g | 2000g Maxxi |
|---|---|---|
| Equivalent 8g cartridges | ~83 | ~250 |
| Cost per gram | €0.039–0.054 | €0.030–0.040 |
| Total weight | ~1.8 kg | ~4.5 kg |
| Best for | Cafes, bars, small restaurants | High-volume kitchens, catering, events |
| Changeover frequency | Every few days (moderate use) | Weekly or less (high use) |
| Storage footprint | Compact, fits anywhere | Larger, needs dedicated space |
Choose the 666gif you run a small-to-medium operation doing up to 20 siphon loads per day. It is the right balance of cost savings and convenience — compact enough to keep beside the pass, light enough to swap one-handed.
Choose the 2000g Maxxi if you are going through the equivalent of 50+ cartridges per week. The lower cost per gram and fewer changeovers make a meaningful difference at that volume. For large events or banqueting operations that consume hundreds of portions in a single session, the Maxxi is the obvious choice.
Pricing tiers: singles, 6-packs, and 24-packs
Both the 666g and 2000g Maxxi are available in tiered pack sizes, with the per-unit price dropping significantly as you buy more. This is standard volume pricing — if you know your consumption rate, it almost always makes sense to order the larger pack.
- Single— buy one cylinder to try a new flavour or top up between larger orders. Highest per-unit price.
- 6-pack— a good mid-range option for restaurants and bars with steady demand. Meaningful discount over singles.
- 24-pack— the bulk option for high-volume operations and catering companies. Delivers the best per-unit pricing and reduces order frequency.

Setup: what you need and how to get started
Both the 666g and the 2000g Maxxi use the same standard valve connection, so the setup process is identical. Here is what you need:
- Pressure regulator — a universal pressure regulator threads directly onto the cylinder valve. This is a one-time purchase (€35–45) that works with any standard cream charger cylinder, including Cream Deluxe, FlavourWhip, and Smartwhip.
- Cream siphon— any standard 0.5L or 1L cream siphon. If you do not already have one, consider the Smartwhip cream dispenser, which includes the siphon, nozzle tips, and a cleaning brush.
- Cold cream— 35% fat or higher, chilled to around 4°C.
Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve (hand-tight only), connect the hose to your siphon, and open the valve. Charge with short 2–3 second bursts. One burst for a 0.5L siphon, two for a 1L. Disconnect, shake 3–4 times, invert, and dispense.
What is in the box
Each Cream Deluxe cylinder ships with the cylinder itself (sealed and filled), safety documentation, and a product information leaflet. The pressure regulator is sold separately, as most buyers already own one or purchase it once with their first cylinder order.
All cylinders are shipped via ADR-compliant carriers, properly packaged and labelled for Class 2.2 dangerous goods transport. Delivery takes 2–7 business days depending on your location within the EU.
Why choose Cream Deluxe?
Cream Deluxe has earned its reputation through consistent quality and a product range that covers every use case. The 666g cylinder is the all-rounder for most professional settings. The 2000g Maxxi is unbeatable on cost per gram for high-volume operations. The flavour range opens creative possibilities without extra prep. And the standard valve connection means you are not locked into proprietary accessories — one regulator works across brands.
Whether you are outfitting a new kitchen, switching from 8g cartridges to cylinders, or scaling up an existing operation, Cream Deluxe is a reliable choice backed by a brand that professionals across Europe already know and trust.
