I keep debating.. Lokey Dec 2012 #1
I got a 6-flavor SodaStream flavoring sampler that I haven't tried yet... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #15
Good for you, MFM Denninmi Dec 2012 #2
I got one of these a few weeks ago annabanana Dec 2012 #3
I wonder how much the extra flavoring costs each time you need it sakabatou Dec 2012 #4
I've seen it sold a lot of places... Chan790 Dec 2012 #5
Sounds nice ^_^ sakabatou Dec 2012 #6
SodaStream flavors are from $5-$9 and make 12 1-liter bottles (6 2-liter). MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #16
So make seltzer water, then add flavor sakabatou Dec 2012 #18
Definitely... and in THAT unwavering order. They stress it quite often in the packaging/manual. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #23
Preflavouring is fine, just tap the bottle a few times before... TheMadMonk Dec 2012 #32
I made the mistake of adding flavoring before carbonation once Bjorn Against Dec 2012 #44

I was happy with CHEAP store-brand diet soda, so the savings -- well, there may be none. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #24
Wish I could afford one of those... GoCubsGo Dec 2012 #8
If I had gone without the convenient accessories, total cost would've been about $80 + tax. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #25
For that, I recommend Net 10 phones. GoCubsGo Dec 2012 #59
thanks -- I'm going to check those. I've been thinking (I think) T-Mobile... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #63
Try mixing frozen cranberry concentrate with seltzer water. You have to do it slowly and carefully.. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #31
Prairie Moon sells cranberry concentrate and lots of flavors csziggy Dec 2012 #37
I'll give it a shot. GoCubsGo Dec 2012 #61
I got a powdered mojito flavoring that was pretty good -- I don't remember the brand, but remember.. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #64

Sounds like a waste of money..... LynneSin Dec 2012 #9
But the flavorings -- EEEWWWWWWW!!!!!! MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #17
I think you'd like bean flavor seltzer water LynneSin Dec 2012 #26
Bean soda would probably be good for my kidneys... and maybe my garbanzos. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #29
Yeah, you say that now OriginalGeek Dec 2012 #43
You bean working on that one for awhile now, no? MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #51
It was my fava joke today OriginalGeek Dec 2012 #53
I'd say that your joke was MY favorite today... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #56

No, but gratuitous and creative belching is rampant. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #28
You say you were drinking diet sodas before. Does this machine have diet sodas? Or sugared? nt Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #12
I have a SodaStream GObamaGO Dec 2012 #13
What do the diet ones have, if not aspartame? (I have no problem with aspartame, BTW.) nt Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #39
They have sucralose in them (Splenda) GObamaGO Dec 2012 #48
Both diet and regular -- and most flavors have a choice of both. They also have... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #20
I was going to tease you at first, but now that you've described it, I'm going to Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #40
In addition, the "sugared" ones have much less sugar than store-bought jeff47 Dec 2012 #54
Thx. I don't drink sugar, though. nt Honeycombe8 Dec 2012 #58
We just got one - haven't tried it yet rurallib Dec 2012 #14
HUGE!!! Two 2-liter bottles equal about 8+ pounds and I'm supposed to limit myself to 20 lbs total. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #21
It took me about 5, MAYBE 10 mins to read the short startup manual and set it up... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #65
MFM - Please replace that with H20 HipChick Dec 2012 #22
But without poopy farts, I am... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #27
Lol! Don't make me laugh...I can't breathe right now.. HipChick Dec 2012 #30
My coronary arteries were about the only impressive and SURPRISING thing about my heart. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #34

I got one several months ago. Brigid Dec 2012 #35
I use a 20lb CO2 bottle Major Nikon Dec 2012 #38
How would I go about setting that up? Incitatus Dec 2012 #70
Carbonators have been around for a LONG time -- I think they gained popularity in the 50's & 60's... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #71
I've never seen a sodastream in action Major Nikon Dec 2012 #73
Maybe, but I can't see why they wouldn't just say "you don't wanna contaminate the system"... MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #74
There's no issues Major Nikon Dec 2012 #75
Here's what you need Major Nikon Dec 2012 #72

There are tea flavorings -- SodaStream has some (as well as CountryTime lemonade flavoring). MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #46
I got one of those a while back, and I love it. I especially like the flexibility of flavors fishwax Dec 2012 #45
I didn't even THINK of Torani syrups -- THANK YOU!!! MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #47
Hazelnut sodas are great. For an extra notch, add a hit of half and half fishwax Dec 2012 #52
I put this on the Christmas list I gave to my SO RZM Dec 2012 #49
Yes. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #50
You could buy the flavor and mix it with seltzer water bought from the store jeff47 Dec 2012 #55
Great idea. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #57
We use ours quite a bit, but I find the soda flavors to be GreenPartyVoter Dec 2012 #60
I chill mine in the freezer a short time before making the soda. MiddleFingerMom Dec 2012 #68
