From Tap Water to Soda Water in Seconds
We now how it is. You really like drinking healthier sparkling beverages but lugging the heavy bottles and then storing and recycling them is work. Consider a Soda Stream—the at-home soda maker. Whether you call it sparkling water, soda water, club soda or seltzer, you'll save on lugging, storing and disposing of cases of sparkling water, and you will save money since you can make your own sparkling beverages starting at only 25 cents per liter.
With SodaStream, you control the fizz. Enjoy lightly carbonated water…or seltzer so fizzy it will tickle your nose. You can even make your own flavored sparkling water just by adding a few drops of SodaStream's all-natural, unsweetened MyWater flavor essences.
There more than 30 sodamix syrups including dozens of regular, diet and caffeine-free options, including flavors like cola, lemon-lime, and root beer or exotic fruit flavors like orange mango and diet pink grapefruit and energy drink, sparkling iced teas and cocktail mixers. Each bottle of sodamix makes about 12 liters of soda (about 33 cans) for around 25 cents per 12-ounce can.
There are several machine models to choose from. (The Genesis is shown here.) You can order the carbonators from the company and they also offer a CO2 exchange.
This is a very practical product that makes sense if there are a number of people in your home who love seltzer, soda or other fizzy beverages.

This is a very handy product. I have friend who use it and I have decided to get one. You can't beat the convenience.
ReplyDeleteVery smart idea. We had these when I was a kid, then they disappeared. Glad they're back in contemporary style, and glad Kat is hipping us to them in her own inimitable style.
