It works great -- but your instructions are really too simplified. Until I figured out that the water should be refrigerated before adding the gas, I was unable to fizz it up properly. Just adding that to your instructions would make the process much easier. Now I love it!
I’m a huge sparkling water drinker. I’ve had as many as 8 in a day so you can imagine the can build up. They pile on the counter until ready to smash and recycle. My son had the great idea to purchase a soda stream to eliminate all the can waste. Unfortunately, the soda stream doesn’t carbonate the water as much as I would Iike. I’ve tried everything, more pulses of carbonation, a smaller batch, chilled water, you name it and nothing works. It’ll be returned.
I was purchasing up to 85 bottles of sparkling water a month. Had to store the empties and bring to redemption which was getting very old. I hesitated purchasing Soda Stream for fear it wouldn't carbonate water to the degree that I like. It took a few trys but once I learned how to use it I was pleasantly surprised. There is plenty of carbonation and it's so easy to use. Must use cold water. I keep a 2 gallon jug in my fridge with a spout. So glad I purchased Soda Stream!
I had been contemplating getting a sodastream for a while- I love the fizzy drinks but hate the waste. I finally got one and I love it. It’s so easy to use and my bubly tastes exactly the same!
