1. A canister for connection to a carbonation machine comprising:
a body with an interior to hold a pressurized or liquefied gas for carbonating a liquid; and
a valve comprising a canister port facing the interior of the body and at least one exterior port that opens laterally to a longitudinal axis of the valve for facilitating inflow of the gas into and outflow of the gas out of the canister when the valve is in an open position, and to prevent the inflow or the outflow when the valve is in a closed position, wherein said at least one exterior port is maintained stationary with respect to the gas canister when the valve is operated.
