Sodaking Machine $39.99
How do you sodake ?
Thanks.
Cheers with a sodake
I take it shitake mushrooms are not on your shopping list…
Meh. My PC comes with Recycle Bin included. No extra cost.
Does each Sodastream machine sold really reduce 2000 bottles a year from going to landfill?
Doesn't that depend on how many soda bottles you would normally buy/use? I've probably used mine 100/year. Big families could use much more often.
Maybe in countries that don't have recycling?
In some states, 2000 used drink bottles will earn you $200 when you return them. You'd have to be a non-OzBargainer to throw that away!
Recycling still generates green house gases - requiring power to break the plastic down and rebuild it into something else. Then there is all the transport required to move the original water with bubbles from plant to retail, then from your place to the recycling plant, to the remanufacturing plant. Recycling helps but isn't the best solution. The best solution is to use less and products like soda stream definitely help.
Edit: but in answer to the previous question, yes agree with you re the return cashback.
I agree with you, I have been checking the origin of some things when I go shopping. Coles' cheapest water crackers come from Europe! How insane is that!

That's nothing… Check this out !!!

And all of that is still less greenhouse gas than making a new one.
Friend, It's not asif we actually recycle most of our plastics anyway. Since the Chinese/ Malaysian bans on importing plastic our local infrastructure hasn't adapted well, so in me eyes at least the best solution is not to use in the first place. That's another reason to support glass and aluminium contaners instead (plus they don't generate microplastics).
That's another reason to support glass
I don't think glass gets recycled
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-07/recycling-companies-f…Agreed. We used to recycle much of the plastic here in Australia, but now there's just too much of it. I personally prefer to drink plain tap water, from a ceramic coffee mug. Even though it's Brisbane water, which rates poorly on taste.
I just wish there was a good way to add a bit of flavour to tap water, without adding sugar or artificial sweeteners (e.g. cordial).
@Russ: Lemon juice, lime juice, cucumber slices, strawberries, berries, Kiwi fruit etc
Or these
https://www.naturallysweet.com.au/sweetleaf-stevia/water-enh…@spaceflight: I've considered lemon juice, but it's expensive if using fresh lemons. Maybe bottled lemon juice? Admittedly it comes in a plastic bottle, but I think I'd get a very large number of drinks from a single bottle.
@Russ: I use bottled lemon juice and it lasts a long time.
You can also use things like banana essence however you only need a small amount and the dose can be hard to get right.
but it's expensive if using fresh lemons.
Not if you have a lemon tree… Ours is full at the moment… Time to make lemonade !!!
Coca cola recycles plastic here in AU. They're moving to full recycled plastic use. There are groups in QLD that take found plastic and break it down into a filament like substance to make new products. It's not a 100% conversion but pretty good from my research.
Coca cola … moving to full recycled plastic use.
Do you have a link for that? It's surprising, because I thought food regulations banned having recycled materials in contact with food, due to the possibility of contamination. I recall reading about bottles where the outer layer was recycled, but they had an inner "skin" of non-recycled plastic.
Kudos to Coca Cola if they achieve it!
edit: never mind, I found it.
“Our landmark transition to use 100 per cent recycled plastic in bottles began with Mount Franklin Still Pure Australian Spring Water in 2018. Following extensive research and development, this will now roll out across other brands in bottles 600 millilitre and under, across Coca-Cola’s soft drink, water and juice products,” Mr West said.

well 2000 bottles a year would be 38 a week..
I go through around 2L a day in my family, which would be around 15L a week.. if each bottle is 500ml then that's 30L a week.
but of course - we aren't using 500ml plastic bottles every single time - so whilst i'm sure there's some out there that use more water and more plastic bottles than me, on the law of averages, i'm calling bullshit.
if we didn't have the machine I don't think i'd be drinking as much sparkling water..
Much appreciated for the upload of the full catalogue :)
SodaKing is the Australian version of Sodastream who is from Israel.
So is it Kosher?
Yes, none of the CO2 molecules in Sodstream canisters have been emitted by a pig. On the other hand, Sodaking just uses any old CO2 molecules.
no, it comes with a small funny hat though.
nothing out of israel is kosher.
Thanks for sharing
The keep a cup at $8 is awesome assuming it's glass?
*Smash btw
Big W have them for $12.
The description at the bottom of the page is "(a) Glass travel cup $7.99"
Thanks bruh, good deal jajajaja
Do sodaking bottle fit sodastream machines anyone?
as far as i'm aware - yes.
Noice. Ta.
Short - They do to a degree.
Long - bought a sodastream machine, a few of the small 600ml sodastream bottle packs and 2 big sodaking bottles, as sodaking state all over their packaging 'compatible with all leading machines'.
So within a week if using the sodaking bottles, the sodastream machine didn't take the bottles into lock position as well, would bubble over the top and then after going to eject would almost fire the bottle out.
Then one day when it fired out, it brought the seal from the sodastream machine with it. Thankfully bigW accepted a return for replacement (minus the part about us using non-sodastream bottles with it) so from now on we use the sodaking bottles just for cold water/topping up the real sodastream bottles.
Ok, i'm not going to risk it then. Thanks for replying.
Thanks for the post, has anyone bought the Cotten sheets from Aldi before?
What model is the Sodaking machine? And does it include a CO2 cylinder and bottle?
After some digging it looks like the model is the Adventurer, where you have to screw bottles on to carbonate according to the manual.
Some pics of the SodaKING for those interested.

60L cylinder valve tipJust did my first run and worked fine, very easy.
