So I bought the Soda Stream system to save money. The high cost of soda is outrageous. 2L bottle is going for $3 nowadays. It used to be $.79. As a soda lover, I was seriously perturbed. I thought this system might make the price more reasonable. And it has, to an extent.
I’m three months into this experiment and am not thrilled with the costs. The upfront costs are substantial. The Soda Stream itself, two CO2 bottles, extra soda bottles were expensive. The generic soda syrup is very good, but not a lot of savings there. The CO2 is not as advertised. 60L from a canister is possible, but if you want an experience similar to the commercial products, it’s really more like mid-40L IRL. So I save a bit each month, but it’s a long payback period for the initial costs.
However the soda is tasty and the best part is the convenience. No more toting around heavy soda bottles and cans, tying to get rid of recycles. No recycle charges and generally less waste. Period. Make it when you’re about to use. Reuse the bottles over and over. Syrup comes straight to the door. It’s all very convenient. So there’s a pleasant surprise to the system I’ve been most pleased with. Okay, not necessarily the most economical (there are all kinds of commercial product Gerry rig ideas to lower the cost), but it is really convenient and satisfying that one is not being wasteful.
