Soda Stream Fountain Jet - Review

Product:

Soda Stream Fountain Jet. A sleek and unique product that allows the consumer to make great tasting sodas in the comfort of their own homes. 

My thoughts (review):

Till this day I still remember the first Soda Stream commercial that I saw on the television. In my mind I kept thinking , "That's to good to be true." - "They probably taste horrible or it's going to be hard to make." After reviewing the product and all the flavors I have an entire new prospective on the Soda Stream. They do not taste awful and it literally takes less than 1 minute to make. My favorite flavor is of course the Cola; however there are tons of different flavors so something for everyone.

All SodaStream regular sodamix uses a mixture of Splenda® and sugar. Diet flavors are sugar-free,  sweetened with Splenda® brand sweetener. Comparison is based on 8 fl. oz. serving size (0.34 fl. oz. of SodaStream sodamix per 8 fl. oz. of water).

Ease of use:

It took me a couple of tries but I finally got the C02 right. The only problem is knowing exactly how much you need without using to much or not enough. I recommend buying a spare bottle to use while getting used to the C02.

Recommendations:

I do believe that everyone who loves sodas occasionally or a lot should purchase this product. Would make great gifts for college students or anyone really. 

Score(1-10):

10! Really great product!
