The company is from Israel but the concept is not. There’s plenty of alternatives from 30 to 1000 bucks.
I got a carbonation machine from “sodapop” (Austrian) for under 50 euros, including a CO2 bottle and 3 water bottles. I buy store-brand CO2 replacement bottles and either store-brand or TriTop (German) syrup.

Upon cursory glance at internet research yes sodastream is Israeli. Pass.

It’s also just a stand for a nozzle and a valve with really really overpriced CO2 cans
Check out this DIY fitting video to understand how it works and why you NEVER have to have a stupid sodastream to carbonate drinks
It’s exponentially cheaper to buy a 5 or 10 pounds refillable cylinder
and just fill existing 2 litres bottle

Only thing I’ve been told to be mindful of is that sodastream CO2 cartridges are food safe and a lot of the cheaper alternatives aren’t.
