To anyone who has one of these soda streams, is it worth purchasing because I were thinking of buying one?

[FinalFantasyBro]

Whenever I get my own place someday I kinda want to create my own soda 🥤 and people say one of these sodastream machine is usually the go to of soda creating. So basically my question is how are these sodastream soda making machine is it really good or is they actually really gross and over hype. https://images.app.goo.gl/UMk6qTnQWCyNoVfX8

They are ok at first but you will find out fast. It's a big pain in the ass! It's so easy to grab a cold can/bottle of soda when you want one. With this you need to make it first and it isn't going to be cold right away plus it might taste close to what you drink now but it's not the same. I gave mine away after a couple months of it sitting on the counter

Cool Thanks

they suck not very bubbly flat tasting.. Buy a one ltr alum carbonated maker from what ever supplyer you use amazon e bay etc. and box of CO2 chargers.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks for the tip

[darkcloud1945]

hope you enjoy my recomendation and you like it. serve cold is best. Warm soda of any kind not good except if you are dying of thirst.. For best resilts plse read inst

I never drink soda when it warm though.

[Puppystarfish23]

Trust me it's not worth buying. I have one myself and it's just collecting dust on the kitchen counter and everyone I know who has one is the same. It doesn't taste that nice it's like drinking flat pop/soda and you constantly have to buy new gas canisters.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks so I definitely be better off just not buying it.

Yes use it every day but only for sparking water not flavours, saves an absolute packet over buying it and lugging in gone from the store and no waste. I haven't tried the flavours since I was a kid and they were terrible back then, I'd hope they are better now as they have partnered with big soda brands.

[DonkeyDan]

Oh and I have the replacement cylinders delivered to home and post the empties back at a drop off location just down the road.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I hope they are good other wise it be such a waste of my money. I am a big fan for making my own food and desserts but I also wouldn't mind making my own beverage as well, so I were wondering would the juices and soda actually taste good. I hope they gotten better, I just doesn't want sparkling water.

[DonkeyDan]

I mean you can use any flavouring you want in them, they only tell you to only use their because they want to sell more. Just make sure you only put the flavour in after fizzing it 😂

Sort of,

if you have good quality tap water and the CO2 cylinders are sold somewhat close to your home, its definetely worth it.

But only if you/your household actually drinks sparkling water.

[FinalFantasyBro]

That is definitely good to hear

[Redstang88]

I think it’s one of those things that people buy, use for a week then forget about

[FinalFantasyBro]

So people hardly use these, I wonder why?

[Redstang88]

It’s just one of those novelty things that people realize how pointless it is after using it a couple times

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks Man

it's kind of a personal preference thing. Some people can't stand them, and others think they're the greatest thing since sliced bread. I think it's worth a try though, just to see how you like it.

[msc545]

I am considering buying one too.

[msc545]

Maybe not after reading the comments here.

[FinalFantasyBro]

Yeah I don't know people say it is worthless I just have to try it myself and see if I would actually purchase it or not.

[msc545]

how can you try before you buy?

[FinalFantasyBro]

I have no idea

[msc545]

not sure you can.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Never tried.. I mostly drink water or coffee..

[karaspara]

No they're awful

[Ironic_Method]

I've considered one before and host weekly board game nights and think it'd be a cool novelty to have. Why are they awful?

[karaspara]

@Ironic_Method They taste like crap great idea but just doesn't work in my opinion

[Ironic_Method]

I was afraid of the taste being weird. Thanks for the input.

[karaspara]

@Ironic_Method No worries

[FinalFantasyBro]

Thanks for the input, hopefully it gotten better other wise I wasted my own money on this device.
