I mean, it's convenient, but you can literally buy the same amount for one third in your local food pusher store.

Yeah. Yesterday my gas bottle was just empty, like not even a little bit would come out. Either the gas bottle was borken or my soda stream is broken.

I have one of these and it works great but I wouldn’t recommend it since the company is openly Zionist

i can get nearly double the amount of sparkling water at the supermarket for the same price as one of those cartridges.

I just buy the syrups for convenience, then get a bottle of soda water up in the refrigerator.

Take the kegpill, brothers. Soda stream is an extreme rip off compared to getting a small keg setup that can easily fit in your fridge! I've saved hundreds on bubbly water in just a few months.

I have a knock-off one made somewhere in... Lithuania, I think?
Uses gas flasks with an older valve type, that can easily be refilled.

$50 for shitty plastic valve and bottle holder, bottle not dishwasher safe, overpriced shitty syrups that make the drink go flat, overpriced canned air, canister exchange still $20

total waste of money, better to buy a 32 pack of sparkly from the store and recycle the aluminum that it is to import a waste product of the military industrial complex

My cousin got a soda stream, and then got a liquid nitrogen container and filled it with CO2, and then 3D printer the part that makes it fit and just somehow got it to work.

>> No.17006136

Been thinking about getting one of the machines that can be converted to use standard CO2 canisters instead of the ripoff Jew ones they come with, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I mainly was thinking about it too try experimenting with making my own syrups and potentially trying carbonated cocktails and stuff.

I wouldn't personally trust a 3d printed part when dealing with pressurized shit, seems fuckin stupid. You can get them made of brass or steel pretty easily online though

The 3d printed stuff was for some other proprietary shit with the whole connection.

The ones designed for aquariums are not too expensive and after deionizing the water you can add back minerals to clone your favorite brand of sparkling water.

Could you elaborate on the sparkling water in the states?
Where I come from we have mineral water, which is regulated. It has to come from a natural spring and is filled with ions like calcium, magnesium etc. in rather large quantities. Then there is table water which is just sparkeling tap water, no one is buying that shit.

>> No.17006646

Sparkling water is literally carbonated water, different brands will have different tastes due to different mineral content and shit, just like with different non-sparkling water brands.

>>17005570
why do you need a keg? don’t commercial soda systems work with a bag-in-box of syrup that is combined with tap water and then carbonated on demand?
I’d set something like that up with a CO2 tank but I don’t have the desire to get a corney keg involved

>> No.17006738

>>17005484
the CO2 tanks are $15 to get a refill and make 60L of carbonated water, about $0.25/L. at the grocery store a liter of sparkling water is about $1 where i live.

>> No.17006825

>>17006732
The co2 needs time to fully dissolve into the water. If you used ice cold water and some sort of diffusion system I bet you could get pretty rapid carbonation. It takes 2-3 days for my water to reach peak carbonation.

I don't have a fridge big enough, so I leave it where it in my shop where it gets cold enough to be nice for nearly the whole next day.

You can purchase 1.5 or 2 gallon corney kegs, which are super easy to fill, clean, use, etc. I'm only using a sanke keg because I got everything to use them for pennies. Kind of annoying to refill, but it's worth the 5 or so minutes every couple weeks.

Yeah I think those are the soda ones. I'm not sure if those carbonate and mix or just mix the syrup. I bet one of those is more expensive than getting keg, regulator, tap, and co2 tank.

I’m certain that it is, but it’s worth it for the set & forget aspect. All you do is feed it fresh tanks of CO2 when necessary

>> No.17007109

>>17007043
I guess it depends on what you're looking for in your carbonated beverage. I prefer mineral water and plan to do the whole reverse osmosis and re-add minerals thing, which would be quite tricky to do with one of those machines. You probably could with a concentrated mineral solution, but some higher tds waters require dissolved co2 to properly dissolve the minerals.
