      @@MrWolfSnack I just bought a new machine heavily discounted. €50 for machine (including a bottle & canister, €12 for a canister (60L) and €4 for Pepsi Max, 7 Up & Ice Tea a piece. I stocked up for about 300L in total after I sampled it first.
      At this discount it's definitely worth it. Pepsi has gone up a LOT since COVID - by 50% easily. I now pay €2.2 for a bottle of 1.5L or €1.5 per liter. Same for 7 Up.
      €12 for 60L means €0.3 for 1.5L. The syrup is €4 for 9 liters (but I find that it tastes just as good with a little less syrup so I should be able to get to 10-11) so let's say 50 cents per liter of 75 cents for 1.5L.
      Basically, I pay €1.05 for something that tastes VERY close to real Pepsi Max with these benefits:
      - less plastic waste & no lugging heavy packs of soda from stores
      - I can add fizz if it goes flat (half my bottles go flat when there's only a third or less left so I have to poor it out)
      - I can make as much as I need - if someone wants a glass or two, I fill the bottle only halfway.
      - I don't need a ton of space in my fridge - I keep a few chilled bottles of water & can add what I want when needed.
      When NOT discounted it's about 30-50% more expensive which is still cheaper than the store but but not by that much. I've bought enough to last me 6 months (the syrup doesn't use up a lot of space after all) and after that I'll have earned back the cost of everything really. Saving € a liter times 300 ...

    Had one years ago, gas bottles didn't last long and they were expensive to replace.
    I usually just go to Sainsburys now, they sell 2 litre bottles of carbonated spring water for 20p! yes 20 pence. I get 5-6 bottles of those and store them. Make my own Pink Lemonade from a punnet of raspberries, lemon and orange, all boiled with sugar on the hob. This in turn makes a lovely syrup which you add to the carbonated water and voila! a healthier (compared to the likes of coca cola etc) fizzy drink.

    Dear Dr. A... two things:
    1. It would've been interesting to see how sodastreaming other beverages would've turned out - like tea, coffee, wine, fresh OJ, Frijj milkshake, soup, gravy, etc...
    2. When I was about 8 or 9 (so 1985-ish) I bought a can of drink that was called something like "Chocolade". Yup, a chocolate flavoured fizzy drink (in the UK btw). It was vile! Like someone had chewed up some generic milk chocolate and spat it into a can of lemonade. Unsurprisingly I never saw it again but also I've never been able to find any reference of it on t'interweb. Maybe you can? Or maybe you don't give a toss? Just thought I'd mention it.

    Had one of these in the 80s when I lived in a Australian outback mining town and was cheaper and handy to have at home. But then branded fizzy drinks got extremely cheap making sodastream expensive. I purchased one in 2003 for nostalgia only for them to change the gas bottles design 3 weeks after purchase. I got a few remaining old bottles to finish off my syrups then chucked it in the rubbish. Never felt so ripped off from that. My most favorite flavor was Portello.

      TheArnoldification Good cream soda is rich and sweet, and it can be a bit too strong drank quickly. As someone who drinks and eats things very quickly all at once, I sip cream soda very slowly. A couple brands that I favor are Stewarts and Boyland. I generally find the brown, caramel colored ones to be best, and some clear ones are decent. Stay away from that pink shit though.

      To be honest it depends on where you live. For example, I live in Finland, where you can drink tap water, so only the syrup and the co2 will cost you. Half a liter of regular soda costs about 2 euros here, which is around $2.75. Making half a liter of Sodastream soda costs you about 0.40 euros, which is just $0.55, so it is way cheaper.

You don't need to put it in the dishwasher, as you aren't supposed to put the syrup in the bottle.
    Also, you needn't dispose of the canister. Just have it refilled at a sporting goods store which refills paintball tanks, and continue to use the machine for practically nothing. It's actually a huge money saver. Love the Flanders reference.
