Soda Stream (Making Sodas at Home Machine)

I bought one of these Soda making machines for my youngest son. I didn't really think that I would like it much but, I really do like it. I drink mostly Coke Zeros and Cokes.

I like to be able to make the Cokes stronger by adding more of the cola mix.

I wanted to write this in case anyone else is on the fence about one of these Coke makers:

I guess we are ignoring the fact soda is bad for you? Although I am currently drinking a coke zero I looked at thier website, I cant believe all you have to do is carbonate the soda and add in the dye/flavor mix. Seems so freaking simple. Awesome idea and whoever invented this bad boy is going to make a freaking boatload of cash.

 

I bought the Genesis from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I have tried the Coke, Coke Zero and Dr. Pepper. They all tasted good to me.

I fill it with filtered tap water, push the carbonator button about 3 times and then fill with the soda mix. That is it. It keeps its carbonation in the special bottle for about 1 day but, you are only making 1 liter at a time, so you always have fresh colas.
