Soda Stream!

Hello neighbors!

Looking for a great item for summer.  How about a machine to make your own soda?  We LOVE Soda Stream.  It is perfect for us, because you can make regular or diet and you can decide how much carbonation there is.  I like less carbonation and my husband likes it as near to store bought as possible.

Let me tell you a little bit about our machine.  We already have a spot for it to be set up permanently in the kitchen.  Makes it easy to use!  If you have to pull it out all the time it gets quite frustrating and you are less likely to use it.  Soda Stream is so easy to use that my 15 year old does it by herself.  We have tried a couple of flavors already and when our company comes this week, we will try even more.  I can add an update then!

We received the Genesis Soda Starter Kit, along with some extra soda flavors..  Very streamlined, and it really does not take up much space.  You can also make sparkling, flavored water.  The kit comes with everything you need to start.  You receive the soda machine, one 60 liter carbonator, 2 carbonating bottles, 3 Soda mix bottles (   Makes 25 servings ), and a Sodamix Variety Pack (12 packets that only make 1 liter).  We also received the flavored water pack, that has Raspberry, Orange, Lemon-Lime.  The soda flavors we received were Cran-Raspberry, Ginger Ale, Cola, Root Beer, Orange Pineapple, Cola Free, Diet Lemon-Lime and Pink Grapefruit.  Tonight my daughter and I are having some raspberry flavored water!  We made Root Beer first and everyone agreed it tasted great!

Now here is what we did when we received our Soda Stream.  Opened the package and got all excited!  We went to the kitchen and the first thing to do is place the carbonator in the machine and screwed it into place.  After snapping the lid back in position we chose our flavor (root beer) and got it ready.  You then fill the carbonating bottle to the fill line.  Screw the bottle onto the machine.  Press the button to carbonate the water, three times each one until it buzzes.  You must press firm and steady for the buzz.  I personally only do this twice. (Less carbonation)  Next unscrew the the bottle and add your flavoring of choice.Shake lightly to mix the flavoring.  Then enjoy!

If you purchase a Soda Stream machine, you can just make your own soda.  No more lugging, no storing, no empties, you just re-use your bottles.  Not to mention, here we pay an extra deposit, and with our Soda Stream, I don't have to anymore!  And look at the variety of flavors you can choose from! They now have Country Time and Crystal Light.
