This is the cheapest I've seen it advertised and Kogan First has a free trial period if you've not tried it before, but even with shipping, it's a pretty good deal. Previous best was $39.99 from Amazon here
It is also compatible with the screw in Sodastream gas bottles.
Includes 1 x CO2 Bottle and 1 x 1 Litre Reusable BPA Free Bottle
Are these anywhere near like the bottled stuff? I tried SS once and it drained the CO2 bottle after about a week trying to get halfway decent bubble water.
It's even better than bottled stuff. Real spicy. I spark up once everyday on my SS. I go through a bottle every 2 months.
Wonder what I was doing wrong?
Did you fill the bottle up all the way to the line?
The air hose has to be submerged.
@The Value: Yes mate, I did. I grew up with one of the really old school machines with the glass bottles, so am familiar with their operation. Maybe I got a dud cylinder as it seemed to run out really quickly. In order to get what I considered appropriate bubbles it need to make 3-4 good "farts". Ended up selling it after the first cylinder was depleted.
@Ham Dragon: Probably a dud cylinder. I've had a sodastream for about 2 years and each cannister lasts me about 40-45litres (about 3 months).
Look up the physics of CO2 absorption in water. You want super cold water. Press the button, and leave it for a few minutes. Even better if you can turn the machine upside down and back a few times.
If you use room temp tap water, press the button, then open it straight away. Then most of that gas will just vent off.
I run it 3 times about 3 seconds each. It's not as carbonated as store bought stuff when you first open it, but I prefer the less carbonated sodastream result.
That sounds like a lot. I do one pump for about 4 seconds and it's super fizzy
I think it's about what they recommend. But I'm not worried about efficiency as I'm running off a 6kg cylinder.
Am I the only one that thought it was a banned product from the small photo? 🤔
Anything can be a 'banned product' if you're brave enough.

Yeah I am pretty sure the fact it looks like "a guitar" is no accident.
