Honestly, I would use my SodaStream machine if the cartridges were not so prohibitively expensive in the UK - £15 per refilled cartridge via Argos (being one one the few remaining places where cartridges can even be had).
Feels like Pepsi could revolutionize the carbonated water market in the UK/US by having machines installed in supermarkets to allow filtered bottled water on demand at better prices. Also, feel good and environment factor would be top given no CO2 emissions from trucking tap water around after fizzing it up!
- mason55 8y agoI just posted another comment on this but you can get adapters that let you hook up full sized CO2 tanks. A big one will last you for a year even if you drink tons of soda water
- dingdingdang 8y agoI looked briefly into this but would appreciate a recommendation since that particular market seem very DIY'ish at moment.
- kalleboo 8y agoInteresting geographic pricing discrimination. They're like £6 to swap in Sweden. I used to do it at my local supermarket. Maybe because there are compatible third-party gas canisters on the market they have to compete with e.g. https://www.öob.se/hushall/koksmaskiner/kolsyremaskiner/pafyllning-kolsyrepatron-1502193 https://www.xn--ob-eka.se/hushall/koksmaskiner/kolsyremaskin...
- dingdingdang 8y agoThe competition is no doubt the driver of reasonable'ish price in Sweden. Honestly feels odd how Sodastream is almost certainly pricing themselves out of the market (I personally know of several families who have abandoned their machines due to cost which can hardly be in Sodastream's favour, unless they are committing a wilful "slow exit" from UK market)
