    Giving up soda and sticking with water and tea would be even more cost-effective. Just a thought.....

    How lovely and judgemental. *sigh*

    Maybe not everyone likes plain water and tea? Just a thought. Whatever keeps people hydrated, moving and keeping healthy, what do you care? There isn't anything inherently unhealthy about a Sodastream.

    I've thought about getting the soda stream. My sister has it and loves it. What I don't personally like about it is the fact that you can't refill the CO2 containers. They're "proprietary" and you are forced to use the ones that they give you.

    I still toss around getting one, especially when it seems like I'm drinking a lot of it but I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

    Sure if you have great tasting water and you don't have to have it filtered and/or buy bottled water.

    And if you drink a lot of tea I'm not sure how "cost effective" it really would be since tea can be rather expensive. Probably more so than using a soda stream.

    The exact steps for using squash/cordial is the folllowing:

    Use the soda stream on plain water. Use the appropriate amount of cordial/squash in a cup/bottle and pour in the fizzy water.

    I Love my soda stream! I too am a seltzer/bubbly water girl, but refused to have all that plastic to recycle (we have to haul ours as we live out in the country) I've found I like it with a few dashes of bitters, or a tall mug with a few ounces of V-8 is a lot like a beer with v-8 ;) I too do the re-fill so far have only done it at Best buy but they complain about it so it sounds like I need to go to bed bath & beyond! Mine came with a bunch of samples & walmart has the flavors on clearance a lot. I feel like the bubbles help keep me full plus it feels more fancy than plain water (which I love & drink a ton of too) They have water enhancer flavors as well, I think mine came with 3 different flavors. & I know I've seen where you can purchase that 3 pack but can't remember where.
