Product Information

Or, you can follow the advice of Mumsnet user BIWI: “I don't buy the SodaStream flavours. We just add ordinary cordials to the water when we pour.” SodaStream machines have fixed nozzles at the front of each model specifically designed only to accept bottles sized like SodaStream ones. A ‘SodaStream’ is a machine that uses a gas canister containing pressurised CO2 to add fizzy bubbles to water to make it sparkling. You can then add flavoured syrup or cordial to the water so that you’ve created ‘homemade’ pop. SodaStream offers a way to save money on refilling costs by offering discounted prices if you ship in your old CO2 canisters to have them refilled.

Why not make one for yourself? Because in this article, we are going to take a look at two soda makers from SodaStream – the Genesis and the Fountain Jet. Let us take a closer look and see what their similarities and differences are. SodaStream Genesis vs SodaStream Fountain Jet It was an eco-friendly model that didn’t require battery power or electricity to operate, instead utilizing a manual push to determine the level of carbonation in the water. What’s more, when you screw the bottle in and activate the carbonation, the system was not known to move or shake, making it smooth and quiet to operate. Here are SodaStream models that are either discontinued or difficult to find, and would also be hard to service and find replacement parts for those reasons. We recommend approaching them with caution, although if you’re able to find the themon the market, it may be a great value – which seems like a rarity these days.

When it comes to bottles, I recommend the 500ml bottle which you can take with you on the go. I find that pouring the sparkling water from the bottle it comes with into a bottle I can easily carry around with me usually loses the fizz. It’s a great starting product and an especially good choice for occasional carbonated water drinkers or those just getting into this as a hobby or habit. Once the kit arrives, this also comes with lemon fruit drops to make your own citrus-flavored soda.

How To Use

Unlike some of the more ‘eco-friendly’ SodaStream versions on the market, such as the Fizzi Classic, Art, Terra, Source or Jet, the One Touch is conveniently electric powered. Nonetheless, it is compatible with al l SodaStream flavors and SodaStream reusable bottles, which are BPAfree, making them more environmentally friendly and fewer overall bottles that end up in the recycling bin. And because it is effectively a manual operated soda maker, it does not require electricity or batteries, which means it’s an eco-friendly choice, compared to the electricity supplied SodaStream Power, for example.

Now that you have more insight into the types of home based dispensing machines, it’s time to key in on your favorite model from the top-rated brand on the market, which of course is SodaStream. So if you’re ready to become an environmental warrior (SodaStream runs recycling programs and uses recyclable products), get healthier (there’s less sugar in SodaStream mixes than store-bought fizzy drinks), and introduce your family or your office kitchen to a practically infinite amount of fizzy flavor combinations, a home beverage model from SodaStream may just provide the solution you’re looking for. Why buy SodaStream? SodaStream is the brand that pioneered sparkling water makers in the 1970s. Thanks to their continuing popularity, the term ‘SodaStream’ is sometimes used to describe the many other water carbonators on the market, such as Aarke and Drinkmate.

SodaStream Genesis and Fountain Jet conveniently do not require any power source to operate. That means either sparkling water maker does not require plugging it into the wall or insert batteries in them to carbonate your drink. You do not need to worry about the battery power running out. Instead, both use their CO2 tanks as their power source to carbonate. Unfortunately, both do not have an LED fizz indicator and an automatic carbonation process. To make a fizzy drink, you need to twist and push, then wait until your preferred carbonation is reached. Did I already mention that it only takes seconds to carbonate drinks? Yes, it only takes less than half a minute to make a sparkling drink. On top of that, both have ‘stay fizz’ bottle caps so that sparkling water stays carbonated for a long time.
