I like me some carbonated water personally, and tap water in Germany is super clean and tastes nice almost everywhere. However, I’ve heard of some people before that they dislike Sodastreams for some reason or another. What gives?

    I drink a lot of Seltzer, so it seems economical for me to get one, but they’re an Israeli company and I can’t purchase from them in good conscious.

      You can get a used ball lock/corny keg, a carbonation cap, a co2 cylinder, and a pressure regulator, and make it 5 gallons at a time if you want. No support for Israel involved :)

      Bit pricy, the whole setup you need will probably run about $100-200 depending where you get it, but you can put damn near any liquid in it and make it carbonated if you want. Wine, juice, water, sugar water, flavored sugar water, milk if you feel bold (tho at that point just make kefir, that’s nice and bubbly), beer, liquor probably…

      Actually I just looked at the price of a soda stream and this isn’t that pricy by comparison… so there’s that.
