I got this bad boy when we needed a new sink anyway. It’s definitely overpriced, I could probably diy a system for way less, but i use this every day and it is awesome having sparkling on tap.
Comment on whats your dumb purchases?

I always dreamed of having a fast food pop machine in my house as a kid. It took me about a year of owning a SodaStream as an adult to realize that I do own a slower and smaller scale pop machine and I can make as much pop as I want.

Does it taste different than what you get in cans/bottles for home use?
Taldan@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, it tastes pretty different. It’s either the carbonation or the fact each SodaStream is haunted by the thousands of people killed and displaced for them to put a factory in the West Bank. 50/50 on which is a bigger factor

So does the displacement make it taste better or nah?
BaroqueBobby@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Is that a fact?

Everything can be a fact if you believe enough

If you want it to taste as close to identical as possible, you can usually find name brand bag in box syrups if you search around. So I guess in theory you should be able to get the same taste as real fountain soda. Idk how that compares to bottled though. I had a box of dr pepper syrup which made great tasting dr pepper.

A little bit. The carbonation and syrup amount changes each time you make it. But overall it’s the same idea.
