I've been pretty happy with just the SodaStream. at least after I got the adapters and attachments to refill the CO2 cartridges myself, since buying the refills from SodaStream themselves is ridiculously overpriced. It doesn't carbonate "like a beer", but it does carbonate "like a soda", which, as I stated, is basically my vice of choice.
