Not instant soda, but surely you can wait 15 minutes
I started out with a soda stream and was frustrated with the experience of exchanging the CO2 canisters. Places were often out of stock and I couldn't order replacements online due to safety regulations.
Pros:
- This gets your water just as bubbly as a soda stream.
- It's sturdy.
- You can find CO2 chargers everywhere and stay stocked up rather than having to guess how much CO2 you have left.
- Fits in your fridge so you have cold seltzer on demand.
- I never measure the water I put in - I just fill it up and then pour a little out - so apparently filling it is easy and forgiving.
Cons:
- Takes about 15 minutes for the water to fully carbonate.
- Can't really see how full the container is.
- There are a few parts to keep track of but they seem sturdy and since you're just putting in water you never really have to worry about cleaning.
- What am I going to do with all these little empty CO2 canisters?
