The DU Lounge
Showing Original Post only (View all)Yesterday, I bought a SodaStream home soda-maker. [View all]

I grocery shop by bus with my walker. I drink a lot of diet soda & seltzer water (yeah yeah I know),
so much of the volume and weight I deal with is devoted to soda. It limits the other things I could
be getting.
.
This is SO cool. Re-useable bottles and canisters of CO2. Tap water can be (and is) used.

I've been drinking seltzer water with and without flavorings for years, so I know what works for me.

Between last night and tonight, I've gone through almost 2 liters of Mio Black Cherry flavored soda.

I'm excited by this (but I AM such an excitable boy).

The whole setup, with an extra canister of CO2 and two add'l bottles to fill and a bottle of flavoring
cost me about $!50 (I got the second-lowest maker in their hierarchy of makers -- the only thing
a more expensive one could do that would be handy would be to tell me how much CO2 is left. The
second backup bottle negates the need for that).
.
The convenience and MOST ESPECIALLY the decreased strain on my heart from carrying that extra
weight (15-20 pounds)?
.
.
.
Priceless.
