Our Review

The Genesis allows you to customize the number of bubbles you would like in your water from a light sparkle to fully fizzy with a touch of a button. The new upgraded electrical model with slim aesthetic appeal and three preset carbonation settings to make fresh drinks at the touch of a button.” According to grist.org the majority of CO2 in the canisters for these counter-top drinks makers, comes as a by-product of industry. Ammonia plants, fertilizer factories, even breweries – anywhere where there’s a fermentation process of sorts – has CO2 as a by-product of their processes. Additionally, the SodaStream Source kit includes: a 1 liter carbonating SodaStream bottle, plus a co2 cylinder, which will make sparkling water in quantities of up to 9 liters. It’s compatible with the 60 liters carbonator and there is an additional mail in rebate for this, as well.

So does SodaStream use electricity, or batteries; and if not, how does it work without these power supplies? and what is the difference between electrical or manual? We've had ours for a few years now, and I love it. I got it so that we could cut right down on the amount of plastic we were buying - we were going through at least four two-litre bottles of fizzy water a week, sometimes double that if it was hot. I bought the Crystal option which comes with glass bottles. I bought four extra bottles, so in our fridge we always have six 600ml bottles of fizzy water.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user BIWI)SodaStream sells perfectly sized bottlesfor all of its soda maker models, regardless of which exact model you own.

You’ll notice immediately that it comes with a different design, even though it takes up about the same amount of space as the previous two soda makers. The Penguin by SodaStream is a unique looking soda maker that is harder to find on the market today. And yet, it’s also a practical and eco-friendly sparkling water solution. As you can see, there are several different kinds of soda makers and machines on the market, each designed with a slightly different purpose in mind. Most SodaStream models compared in this review fall under the category of soda machines and sparkling water makers.This is a question that came up repeatedly during our research. Providing an answer is beneficial, since it seems that most SodaStream models are labeled as not requiring electricity or batteries to operate and this perplexes many people. After filling the carbonating bottle with water, you can refrigerate it and the syrup containers beforehand for best results. Carbon dioxide tends to dissolve faster in cold water, creating more bubbles. Cold syrups can also help retain the carbonation so the drink won’t go flat. So what makes the One Touch different from the Sodastream Fizzi? Both inserting the carbonating cylinder and the water bottle require that you follow the exact same procedure as with the Sodastream Fizzi, and this machine also only takes 1 L-sized bottle.
