SodaStream!
Apr. 2nd, 2011 09:40 pmWith a 20% off coupon in hand, we visited Bed Bath & Beyond this evening. They had the Genesis model of the Sodastream in stock, and I purchased it. It seems to work! I installed the cartridge, and have made my first bottle of fizzy water. The kit comes with one CO2 cartridge, and two plastic bottles (NOT dishwasher safe), as well as some flavoring things.
The enclosed soda syrups are generally considered to be foul. I will not bother trying them.
The enclosed myWater(tm) orange seltzer flavoring smelled like alcohol and not like orange, and the bottle was difficult to close. I will not bother trying it or the other two flavors. A drop or two of orange extract seems to work fine to flavor a glass of seltzer.
We have a water filtration pitcher, and it's generally full of water in the fridge; it seems to work quite well for seltzer water. (The manufacturer recommends chilling the water before use.)
Anyway... Yes, at the moment, I'm pleased with my purchase. No more running to the store to get more! No more remembering to put the next bottle in the fridge when I open a bottle! Yay!
