Laura Corin Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I want to stop buying plastic bottles of sparkling mineral water. Hobbes had SodaStream sparkling water at a friend's house and he said it was really bubbly. Is that adjustable? Are there other brands of soda machine you recommend?

Pen Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 We got a manual operated SodaStream which requires one plastic bottle to make it in, but then I got 2 extra glass carafes to hold the fizzy water after it's made. (some models you can make it direct into the glass bottle). We have been very, very happy with it. It has cut down on both plastic and also on sugar consumption and has increased water intake during the day. Ours can be virtually fizz-less if you hold the push button for only a moment, to very fizzy if held a long time, or even pushed more than once. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yes, you can adjust the carbonation. I usually do 4 pumps in a liter bottle but you could do as little as 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Completely adjustable. We love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 You decide how much CO2 you press into the bottle. Ours takes three pumps for a degree of fizzy we like, but you can also do one or two short bursts only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Love our Soda Stream Fizzy water is fine-- but our family favorite is Ikea's lingonberry syrup or their blueberry syrup-- makes AWESOME soda! DD prefer's hers 'light' on fizz so only 1 big push for her. I like it better with 2 (for a bit more fizz).

Lizzie in Ma Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 LOVE our SodaStream. We used to spend a fortune on seltzer, none of us like water. With the sodastream we don't even add flavoring. We fill and reuse our gallon water jugs at a shack for 25 cents a gallon to make it. The water here is undrinkable from the tap. I like 3 pumps for my perfect fizziness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Have any of you fizzed something other than water? I know you're not supposed to, but I'm debating between SodaStream and Drinkmate because the latter lets you carbonate anything that doesn't have pulp in it: https://www.amazon.com/Drinkmate-Beverage-Carbonation-Maker-Cylinder/dp/B018K1C3KK/ (I want to carbonate teas or water + juice, etc. not necessarily stuff with syrup you add later) Edited February 25, 2018 by 6packofun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
