You're welcome 😊 it was both fun, and annoying 😅

😂

What model were you using. Did you have a electric one? And was it the one button or the 3 button?

3 buttons, electronic

It looks like the machine likes just water. Is there a difference between adding the flavoring before or after adding fizz? Is quality and taste affected? I like that you did it all, so we can see what can happen. Ta.

Very happy to hear it was helpfu! l

Thanks for the comment 😊

Thank you!

👏

Thanks for the kind words! I was a bit slack last year but there's lots of videos coming this year!

😃😊

Thanks for the comment and info - I didn't know and had wondered about this.

Left to the imagination 😉

@@EverythingPractical I wish you had ended with "I hope this video left you satisfied and smiling."

Thanks for the comment. I have found that you do not need to clean the nozzle after carbonating other liquids, but a simple whipe down certainly wouldn't do any harm. Of course the bottle should be rinsed/cleaned after use. I hope this helps!

You need to ensure the dosing needle is submerged.

I believe it has to do with the seal of the machine not being very tight. I am unfortunately notnsure if it is all of the OneTouch models, or just mine. However, the same chemical reaction will happen with other brand devices, so you still need to be cautious when using them not to release the bottle too soon.

Nice idea, I'll try

They were all cold, except the coffee. It's the reaction with the sugar that makes a mess

You should always fill to the line to have the CO2 injected to the water. This is the point where the injector is submerged. Otherwise, the CO2 just blows onto the water/liquid and it isn't as bubbly.

You have to fill to the "fill line" , yes. If you dont want so much, you would have to purchase a smaller bottle, but it still requires you to fill to the fill line on that bottle, too.

You need to fill to the line

@@EverythingPractical thanks for your efforts. If you leave the bottle alone for 5 minutes will it make less mess? Love your videos

Thanks 😊 I would avoid carbonating anything that could cause a mess, also since the CO2 could escape and it could just be a waste. I suggest to carbonate water and if desired, add a flavor carefully after 😊

@@EverythingPractical have you got a video on the drinkmate? It says you can carbonate anything.

I do not, but I'll look into it 🙂

As far as I know, you have to use a SodaStream bottle sense there are not after-market bottles. (That I know of)

But then the pipe pumping in the gas wouldn't reach the liquid

Does the tube have to be in the liquid to carbonate? The 1st thing I thought was to put less in the bottle. I just got a philips soda maker today.@@KirstenRietveld

@timr804 sure does

Or just use it for its intended purpose and only carbonate water 😉

Derek Tweedie. You are wrong.

Not a bad idea, but you need to submerge the tip of the injector into the liquid. Otherwise you end up with a bigger mess..

@@EverythingPractical oh I see! Thank you for explaining this to me despite the video being so old!

Happy to help, anytime!

Nice idea, but you need to submerge the injection needle.

I have not been able to be successful with flat soda with the OneTouch system. However, if you are patient, it maybe possible with other models.

Happy to do it

Too full? Not inserted correctly?

@@EverythingPractical does yours leak with normal water? Thanks for the reply :)!

No, I dont have issues with water leaking. This shouldn't happen..

@@EverythingPractical hmm ok thank you!

@@somethingginterestingg4275 If your machine is normally leaking, simply contact the SodaStream company in your area. I have found them fantastic to deal with.

That would take the fun out of it 😉

I tried 😅 but yes, the flavor changes quite a lot. Mostly to sour, chalky, bitter and or "expired".

Indeed, but not optimal for filming/video making 😄 isn't it nice to be able to see my face?? 🥸

You never know 😅

Yes, the sealing is different on the OneTouch system that doesn't allow to keep the pressure sealing, thus resulting in an "explosion". Seems the taste is the same though 😆

🥰

Because this is a review of the SodaStream

So then show us how you do it Mr. Master of carbonation

@@EverythingPractical Time. It's all about time. If you take notice of your own video, you will notice that at around 10:34/10:36, the product has started to clear from the bottom. If you *wait* until the bottle clears completely, wait an extra few seconds, then carefully release the bottle, you will not have a mess. I have fizzed up gallons of pure apple juice without a single spill. This costs us around $1:00 per litre against $3:30 to $4:10 for the Sparkling Apple juices at the supermarket. So there... Mr amateur..!!!

Make a video.

@@EverythingPractical So, this indicates to me that you don't have even the most basic skills with Sodastream. A video? From me? Yeah, well, I might just do that - one day.

Check yourself, bud. The "most basic skills" are to use the machine as intended and carbonate water. Obviously, that's not an issue. If you want to use the machine for an extended period to carbonate something by slowly adding carbonation to not end up with a mess, go for it. People want the simplicity of the machine to work the same as with water as for other beverages, and it doesn't. It seems you missed the clear purpose of the video, which is to use the machine exactly as you would when using it when carbonating water but with many different liquids. There is also a bit of humor in this video, which I think you missed as well... So get your comments straight. If you want to do a "better" video, then do it! No one likes a troll, especially when they're wrong. If it's your calendar, Happy New Year and all the best for 2023!
