My experience and opinions on the Soda Stream Machine for the first month.

It is getting toward the end of the month. 

I have run out of the CO2 twice now. The month isn't even over. Makes me wish I had gotten the larger one, but it was more expensive. Makes me also determined to seek a cheaper way to get the CO2 tank refilled.

I came down to, just out of convenience flavoring my soda with Torani Coffee flavors. My favorite was a mixture of coconut and pineapple. I also like the green apple flavor, but by itself is pretty strong.

I am down to water now, because it isn't payday yet. I have CUT BACK tremendously on buying commercial diet sodas, but haven't let go of them completely. I am now out of my instant coffee substiture fix for the month too. :o(

A review of the Caffiene Free Soda Stream Flavor

The only syrup I have bought that actually is a Soda Stream flavor is the caffiene free one. Once I actually got the machine to carbonate the way it is suppose to I have been consistently drinking fruit flavored soda water.

But I am still in the search of the perfect recipe to replace the taste of diet coke or diet soda.

 I don't like the taste of the caffiene free soda stream syrup, because they use splenda. I despise the taste of splenda which seems to be used in many generic brands of diet soda, etc Western Family and Shasta.

Anyhow, tonight, I added just a few drops of the green apple Torani syrup I have used to make a straight green apple soda, and voila, I got a soda similar to diet coke but without the Splenda spoiling taste.

I was browsing at Walmart, and the Soda Stream flavors must be selling really well. It was 8 in the evening and most of the flavors were completely out.



They have some naturally flavored one, one that claims to taste similar to Coke Zero. I have never tasted that flavor so I wonder if it is worth buying to test out. Any opinions on this in the comments section would be greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, I have some recipes to try for the real coke flavor, but it seems like the list of ingredients aren't all in my cupboard but I am slowly acquiring them one by one.
