What's a SodaStream?

A SodaStream is a sparkling water machine. With it, you turn tap water into sparkling water. That way you'll always have sparkling water available in an eco-friendly way. The bottles are in fact reusable. In this article, we'll explain how the SodaStream works, what you get exactly, and we discuss the benefits with you.

How it works

Fill the bottle with water and put it in the sparkling water machine. If you press the button, you add carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide comes from the CO2 cylinder that you attach to the back of the device. You can choose how much carbonic acid you add. The more you add, the more sparkling the water becomes. Do you like sparkling water with a flavor? Add syrup or fresh mint and ginger, for example.

In the box

With every SodaStream, you get a CO2 cylinder and at least 1 bottle. With the DUO model, you get an extra glass pitcher. Both types are reusable. You can clean the bottles after use in the dishwasher. With the CO2 cylinder, you can make up to 60L lightly sparkling water. When you add more CO2, you can make less than 60L with 1 cylinder.

CO2 cylinders

A SodaStream comes with 1 CO2 cylinder for about 60L of sparkling water. When the cylinder is empty, you can buy a new one. Note: the purchase of cylinders happens via an exchange system. You pay a € 12.99 deposit per cylinder. You'll get that € 12.99 back if you return an empty cylinder. If you don't send an empty cylinder or don't exchange it in the store, you'll pay € 12.99 extra per cylinder. You can only use the QuickConnect cylinder for ART, (E-)TERRA, and DUO models. You can use the blue cylinder for the Crystal and Spirit models.
