Did anyone own or currently have a SodaStream?

[Jarrod38]

For some reason this kitchen gadget popped up in my head last night and was thinking where is mine located at since we moved two years ago. I know it is somewhere in the garage or shed.

So anyway did anyone else fall for hype around this and do you still use it?

 

[Magnus]

Yup. Every day. We love it. (no syrups or additives, esp. not the packets sold alongside it -- just plain ol' freshly made soda water)

(occasionally with a shot of gin or whiskey :p)

 

[Slayven]

I have one, stopped using it after a month. The flavors always tasted mediciney.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

I cant imagine life without it. Smiles and looks at camera.

Even knowing it almost killed Thanos?

Can you put ragu in it? Need me some bolognade.

 

[Lucreto]

Had one years ago. We stopped using it after the flavours disappeared from the shops shelves.

i started using mine more since shelter in place started. Diet Dr. Pete is not as good as Diet Dr. Pepper, but it's a lot easier to carry home from the store

 

[DazzlerIE]

I use mine every day. Just for soda water, no flavours. Tried the Diet Cola from soda stream and it was trash

 

[sixteen-bit]

Save some money and use refillable CO2 tanks instead

 

[PC98_Audi]

I use mine a few times a week, making homemade schorle (basically a mix of apple juice and carbonated water) when I feel like having a bit of sprutzen in mein mund

 

[Pbae]

i have the irrational fear that the co2 cartridge will kill me.

Love mine. Add a splash of lemon juice and boom delicious beverage.

 

[OrangeNova]

I have a bunch of the different soda flavours, I really enjoy it honestly.

But it is refillable... you basically take those tanks back to the store you bought it and swap out...

YOu'd have to be an animal to throw those out.

 

[EssBeeVee]

i had one. didn't feel like getting the co2 tanks refilled. so we just chunked it.

jk
there were other reasons but this was ages ago.

did they improve the bottles? i think the Stainless steel or aluminum? ones were okay. it was just the cap and bottom that were a different material.

 

[Blue Skies]

Eh
Sparkling water is almost always BOGO at Publix
Get like 24 cans for 4-5$

This is me but unfortunately my CO2 ran out a week into this lockdown and I haven't replaced it yet.

[kvetcha]

We have one of the cheaper models that accepts the 120L cylinder. It's ugly but it does the job.

 

[lt519]

Yeah, use it every day. Some flavors are absolute garbage but I find the Diet Root Beet and Caffeine Free Diet Cola are pretty good. Regular Cola tastes awful.

Problem is our Target isn't doing the CO2 exchanges (or at least wasn't three weeks ago) and I'm on my last cartridge..

 

[IrishNinja]

nah - support BDS y'all

 

[Neutra]

Yeah, use our sodastream every day. Actually I'm gonna have to mask up and go out and get a new CO2 cylinder today.

I had that fear once, but I was extremely stoned at the time. Hasn't happened yet!

 

[PuppetMinion]

I had one, it was a gift. I used for quite a while but was not that comfortable with the whole pressurized gas thing and got rid of it in the end.

Also the flavors were fine but I found made slim to none difference to me with the bubbles. I could just as well, just mix it and skip the whole CO2 thing. Pearls before swine in my case.

 

[Deleted member 13496]

Never use the flavours but me and my partner drink a fuckoad of soda water with lime.

Haven't been able to refill the CO2 in ages unfortunately.

 

[Jarrod38]

If I can't find mine might buy a new one. Does everyone exchange their C02 or do it yourself hacks?

 

[Chakoo]

Had but stop using over time. The flavors suck and when they had an ok one they would eventually make it suck later. The Pepsi@home was also decent but hard to get and overly expensive (just cheaper to buy a bottle of Pepsi on sale).

Sadly the one that hurts for me is I actually liked my keurig cold before that flopped hard, some of the flavors where actually good. I wish they could redesign it to be more like the fancy coke machines and not expensive single use pods. :(

 

[The Albatross]

We used to abou 5 years ago and we almost never used it. Used it like 10 times total.

And now in quarantine I'm hooked on club soda / water withj gas because we have it at work... and now I want my soda stream back. I'm pretty sure I sent it to Goodwill when we moved or had a renovation a couple years back.

 

[TaySan]

I want one, but have no idea how refilling them actually works. You can just take them to Walmart and have them do it?

 

[Dennis8K]

Didn't a SodaStream kill a user in an accident or am I misremembering?

 

[Deepwater]

Why do y'all use the official flavoring/syrups? I use basically any water sweetener, both powder and syrups(Mio brand in particular)

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Do they still have a factory in an illegal settlement?

 

[Akainu]

Doesn't this company have factories in the west bank?

there's a CO2 cylinder that you simply unscrew and you'll take that to the store and give it to them and they give you a new, full one and you get a slight discount with the trade.

 

[BassForever]

Had a friend who had one, tried it a few times. It was fine but I don't see the value in it for myself.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Used to have one. Used it almost everyday.


Will but another to make carbonated simple syrup

 

[DJ_Lae]

Haven't used mine in a while - I need a new bottle as I gather they have an increased risk of exploding past expiry.

It's great for making carbonated water, though. Some of their syrups are okay, and you can also use pretty much whatever else you want, but it's really only cost effective for plain old sparkling water.

 

[Orb]

I drink a lot of diet soda so I've always considered getting one but never pulled the trigger.

 

[Keio]

Love it. Use it for carbonated water, but the kids are beside themselves with excitement when we make "homemade soda".

I think it was a whipped cream canister if you are remembering the same story I am.

 

[Rotkehle]

It's part of my kitchens for like 20 years. But I live in a sparkling water country, soooo ist basically an essential when you don't want to have a mSsive amount of bottles with deposits sitting around.

I never use the soda mixing stuff.

 

[Septy]

Just looked up the machine. And I don't see the point of having the machine? Just buy some carbonated water guys and add your soda flavoring.

 

[DarthWalden]

I used the shit out of mine for a good decade, drinking at least one bottle of carbonated water per day.

I stopped using it recently though, I transitioned to drinking regular water because it was cheaper, easier and more readily available. Trading in those canisters was such a huge pain because half the time the people didn't know how to properly do the trade in.

I never ever used it for soda other than making the odd cocktail mix for guests.

In Germany people buy soda water like that:

So if you live on the 3rd floor, carrying that up with other groceries is exhausting.

Also it can be cheaper to have a Sodastream here.

That sounds way more inconvenient than just carbonating tap water.

 

[Euler]

Yeah, I use it. Never with any flavor mix stuff though, just carbonated water.

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking at getting one since I stopped drinking pop. I think I'll continue buying bottled sparkling water instead.

I don't understand, what wrong with carrying a liter of water? I've been to grocery stores in germany I know you can buy a bottle of carbonated water. Unless you're physically disabled.
