You put the CO2 in this bad boy, you put the CO2 in the drink and bottoms up we save the planet! Why is big soda trying to ruin the planet??
but it’s the only good way to carbonate milk :(
Foamy diarrhea
I had never considered this possibility. I have milk in the fridge and a soda stream… the temptation is immense.
Do it and report back. Ideally via live stream.
via soda steam
Sorry, but he deaded.
Opp is kil.
Reporting back. Please never try it. For your own sanity. Also I’m pretty sure I broke my soda stream.
It’s a very creative way of making milk that isn’t spoiled, but tastes like it is.

OK, but…that entire tank contains less CO² than the average car emits every kilometre. I don’t think soda stream are contributing massively to global warming. The fact that it’s an Israeli company with a history of exploitation of Palestinian labor, complicity in settlement expansion, and continued violations of Palestinian human rights, is a very good reason not to use it.
Edit. Oops, worked that out from the assumption of 60L of CO², closer inspection shows 410g, which would be around 3.5 KM.
What if we collect the CO2 from cars and fill up the cartridges with it and then we drink the car CO2 water? We can drive cars and combat climate change!
I think the loss of human lives at a large scale will eventually bring a new earth cycle to normality. It may not be the same ecosystem that it was, but it might be stable with humans being less of an infestation. This may be virus or starvation. We’ll all see soon enough.
Say no to ecofascism, kids.
Ecofascism tries to solve the looming problem of mass extinction with… mass extinction.
I’m trying to follow the logic here.
SodaStream —> Zombie apocalypse
in just one easy step? Sign me up!
I tried this on vodka and it blew up.
Soda stream is inferior. Get a drinkmate, it’ll carbonate anything
Or a corny keg and a 5lb cylinder. Zero waste too and you reuse everything.
This is what I do and it’s fantastic.
I just use a carbonation cap for a normal 2L bottle.
Yea I mean I guess if you don’t want all 5 gallons of glory!
We make hibiscus water and it’s amazing. I’d recommend it to all.
Tried it on white wine and it made champagne that was better than champagne btw
Specifically Gewürztraminer
People keep mentioning Drinkmate, and it sounds fine but I’ve never heard of it- in Europe you can get the Aarke which is essentially a (I believe) Danish clone, interchangeable bottles etc
Have an Aarke and it’s great, solidly built of metal. I really like their whole ‘no plastic crap’ design.
Mind you you also support apartheid by buying an overpriced product made in occupied West Bank Territories.
There are alternatives tho, no reason to support them
Idk about other countries but there’s like several generic supermarket alternatives to sodastream in all bigger shops here, and idk who the fuck would buy the overpriced sodastream brand co2 when most markets sell a generic brand bottle for half the price.
So at least here it doesn’t have a majority of the market. Perhaps the largest share, but I don’t think the majority.
thats why my cartridges are aftermarket and not by “jews and arabs working in harmony” as sodastream on their product packaging suggests.
Ugh. Welp I already own two bottles (BB&B clearance), know where I can refill them instead of exchanging?
I feel your pain. I’m already sorted for kegs so an adaptor to refill is quite cheap
Welding supply might do it. Call and ask
Provided you want to consider welding supplies to be food grade.
Yeah. The airgas I shop at has that for a premium over industrial
I’ve read about ballers who pop the top and drop the appropriate weight of dry ice in. There are tutorials out there but it’s scarier than I’m willing to take on.
Don’t look at me though, I use Drinkmate.
Same. They even give you a return label to send them the empties for a 22% discount on refills
Me too, but I got a sodamod for mine and refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop. Paintball places are cheap too, or some Dick’s Sporting Goods can do it.
The stock ones can’t be refilled unfortunately. You need a special adapter and some modified airsoft tanks: https://www.sodamod.com/
Our CO2 refills are $5 at the local homebrew shop now; worth it, IMO, but we drink a lot of carbonated water.
they wont be refilled, but perhaps there are stores with no name branded co2 cartridges?
I only use no2 cartridges
There are offbrands like Indigo, but they can be refilled as well. Stores won’t do it, but you can buy a 5~10lbs tank from a beer supply store and fittings and adapters from eBay/Ali.
One of those canisters is equivalent to burning 178mL of gasoline. Or enough to power an average car for 2km. Most people burn through the equivalent of 30+ of these a day going to work and back.
So what you’re saying is I should drink the water that drips out of my exhaust when I start the car on colder days?
You don’t already?
Oh sorry, I didn’t realize this was a shitpost 🤦♂️
You better get a glass of sparkling water in your hands, stat
Non-carbonated tapwater for the win
How wasteful.
Just take a mouthful of squash and blow into it really hard.
