Amazon has a better deal
Why do people say this without linking it?

The one on amazon is $60 with only 1 canister.

We refill the canisters with dry ice whenever we run low. 3 canisters (1 original, 2 thrifted), with dry ice from the grocery store at $2/lb, costs about $10 and 30 minutes to refill. The extra is to account for the dry ice lost to sublimation while filling.

Just want to provide my frugal tips for the sodastream. I drink almost exclusively carbonated water and like it extra bubbly. As such, even refilled co2 canisters would be very expensive. Furthermore, the flavorings are ridiculously priced for what they are (ultra concentrated flavor oil plus a ton of water).

So, tip 1. You can buy adapters to fill the sodastream canisters from a larger tank. Buying even refilled canisters you're still paying a roughly 93% markup. I spent $150 on a 20-lb CO2 tank, the adapter and first fill (subsequent fills are about $20 at my local shop) and a full tank will fill about 20 sodastream canisters. I've filled at least 30 canisters this way which would have cost $450 to buy refilled sodastream canisters. If your space permits, you could actually run a hose directly from a larger tank to the soda stream which you can buy a different adapter for.

Tip 2. As I mentioned, the flavorings are way overpriced. You can buy the industry standard flavoring oil (LorAnn) for about $1/dram and each dram will flavor about 30L in my experience (LorAnn sells dropper lids and 3 drops/L is a good starting point). I've found doing it this way is not only much easier, but you can measure more easily and you get over 100 flavor options and essentially limitless combinations (black cherry rootbeer is the bomb).

Quote from Doctor.P :
I think it just means they say one canister equals a month. So there's 3 canisters included = 3 months or 90 days. That's how I understood it anyway
The box says that they return bottles to you filled. But also comes with 3 cannisters? So wouldn't that be an extra 60 days worth? Confusing...

ty OP! repped!

Been 10 years since I've had one! Seems like good as time as any to get back into it. Lmk if anyone has any good hacks for the proprietary valve. Is there an adapter that can bypass it so I can get the tanks c02 refilled myself cheaper?

There is no good deal when it comes to this product. This company does everything they can to require you to buy their refills. Please don't waste your money and support a crappy brand like this.

3 canisters worth maybe $35 if you exchange at BBB with their 20% off coupon. The extra $40 may be justified for your time and gas, when you run to BBB to exchange 1 bottle every time, vs. bring 5 bottles (I have 2 from Costco deal) in one trip.

I also tracked my usage. it appears I can pump 30-40 bottles with one canister. so that's about 40 cents each bottle. maybe half the price I pay for Trader Joe's 1L club soda.

Now this is the kind of posting I'm looking for. Some real Slickdealing.

What Soda Stream (or competitor) model do you recommend for the big CO2 cylinder route? Will most any of them work? Was it hard to find a place with food-grade CO2 for refill sales?

I've probably spent $200-$500 on sparkling water this year. I really need to economize. I'm also looking forward to making odd sparkling waters, like sparkling lemon basil tea, and other carbonated herb teas.

Yeah bubly is more expensive than what I get. I pay on avg $0.21 a can for my Talking Rain carbonated water before taxes and fees. I will buy 3-4 cases each when they drop to $5 a case of 24. Talking Rain also has other flavor options like peach which is tasty and I buy those as well but I usually get the plain and just drop in a true lime or true lemon citrus packet. As for sodas I just buy two liters when they are a dollar a piece on sale and chill it down to near freezing, pour myself a 6 - 8oz glass, then transfer the rest into 16oz or 6oz glass swing top bottles. I've found that plastic bottles have more carbonation in them than cans. Cans will go flat when pouring over ice, whereas I can transfer a 2ltr to a glass swing top bottle leave it for a month or two and then pour over ice and it's still very carbonated.
Where do you buy talking rain that cheap?

Jesus, 30 to 40 bottles? I was nowhere close to that...I do 5 long pushes tho for strong carbonation, but that was on the OG model...

I've been using larger paintball tanks to run my soda stream. After this tank expires I will be going for the 50lb tank with direct line to soda stream route. Any website that provides information on this specific route?
