    If you’re desperate for fizzy juice, soda machines are great and work out cheaper in the long run than buying bottles of juice regularly. Also, no constant plastic bottle waste.

    Although maybe don’t get a SodaStream… It’s a PepsiCo subsidiary headquartered in Israel.

      I have a 35lbs CO2 tank in my basement that I use to carbonate 2L at a time of water. Just a pinch of pickling salt makes it super crispy. I think it cost me like $40usd. Some one have me the regulator, and I connect it to a carbonator cap using a Cornelius keg fitting. Tank lasts me years.

      I’ve got a soda siphon of European origin that takes 8 gram CO2 cartridges and carbonates a liter of water at a time. Just as easy as a SodaStream, but perhaps more expensive to run because you have to get the individual small cartridges.
