If you’re tired of hauling bottles or cans of that favorite carbonated beverage, a SodaStream soda maker just might set you free! It certainly has lightened my load. We used to buy the largest cases of sparkling water we could find– easier on the budget, not on the back.
Then, one of our smartest friends told us about SodaStream. (Thank you Liz!) This one compact device lets us carbonate bottle after bottle, each in a matter of seconds, using our choice of water while controlling the amount of fizz.
There’s no need to store bottles, and we never run out when hosting a party. Pre-packaged flavorings are available, although it’s easy, and sometimes preferable, to add your own. (Penny adds a dash of bitters!)
Power is supplied by a convenient CO2 canister that can be exchanged for re-charge (keep at least two cylinders on hand to rotate).
We’ve had our Sodastream for about six months. It’s one of those products that’s simple, convenient, and really works. How often does that happen?
Amazon can ship a SodaStream kit to get you started.
