SodaStream Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker (White and Rose Gold) with CO2 and BPA free Bottle

First of all for some reason I thought this was going to be something that would be frustrating to set up and use. When I pulled it out of the package there was the CO container, the Machine itself and the water bottle. Directions come with it and are all pictures no words. I was surprised when it was actually so simple and took about 5 minutes or less to set up and make my first bottle of fizzy water. To get the ball rolling all you have to do is pop the back off of the machine, take the plastic seal off of the CO cartridge, slide the CO cartridge thru the bottom of the unit and screw it in to the soda machine until tight. Pop the back of the soda maker on. Take the water bottle fill it with water to the water line. Put it in the soda maker so the CO spicket is the water and the clear plastic lever is pushed. There is a button on top of the machine that you push to shoot the Carbon into the water. 3 times for mild sparkle, 5 times for lots of sparkle. I got a little carried away and pushed it a few extra times to see how it worked and it amazed me with the simple push of a button you have sparkling water. I added some lemon juice to it shook it a little and it was ready to drink This sparkling water maker will diffidently give me the variety to so I drink more water.

This is the neatest machine. I never thought how convenient it is to be able to make my own sodas until I tried the Sodastream Fizzi Black Starter Kit. All you need is cold water and flavoring and you have soda without going out to buy it and carry home heavy cases of soda cans or big bottles of soda that go flat after you open them. I now have fresh soda anytime. Not to mention the storage space I am saving. I used to take up so much room in my refrigerator storing cans of soda. Now all I need is cold water and I have soda anytime. I enjoy refreshing seltzer. So I don't even need flavors. But my family likes to add flavor. Their favorites are the cola and the root beer flavors. But we have also experimented with mixing flavors like cola and lemon-lime. And of course the plain seltzer is great with some fresh fruit. It's so easy to use. You just insert the CO2 carbonator canister and then snap lock on the bottle of cold water and push the button for 10 seconds at a time until you get your desired amount of carbonation. I usually do 2 pumps. It's a matter of personal taste as to how much carbonation you like. After that you add the flavor or drink it plain. There is no electricity, no batteries required. And because you only use water there is no clean up of the machine. You will never run out of soda again with this Sodastream Fizzi Black Starter Kit. I purchased extra 1 litre bottles. You have to use the Sodastream bottles with this machine. They are reusable for up to three years. Just hand wash them. Every household should have their own soda maker. It's something that you don't realize you need until you try it and then wonder how you got along without it. I wish I had thought to try one sooner.
