On Thursday we bought a SodaStream machine at the Park Slope Food Coop. I am very pleased with it. It is easy to use, it looks nice and the soda is actually fizzy.
We had a Sypholux soda maker in the past, but I never liked it. In addition to having a name that sounds like a disease, it was heavy, hard to dry between uses, and it didn't make good soda.
I was skeptical about the Sodastream, but I decided to try it anyway. I am glad I did. It will pay for itself in less than 1 year. I won't have to carry home seltzer bottles anymore.
It is ironic. If it hadn't been targeted for boycott, I would never have known that this machine existed or was even sold at the coop. Sodastream is produced by an Israeli company. In the Food Coop it is found on the top shelf above the bottled juices, opposite the bulk items. I never look up there.
There were 3 Sodastream units on the shelf when I started my work slot this morning. When I left the store, 2 had already been purchased. It makes a great gift. Oh yeah, and when I googled SodaStream, I found out the stock is performing really well.
In March 2012 we defeated a BDS initiative at the Park Slope Food Coop.
I hope I still have something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion
Its great seltzer, and don't forget it makes a great gift.

i had no idea such a thing existed! Way cool!
ReplyDeletei was under impressed with the flavor packets, but then i'm not a big soda drinker anyway.
ReplyDeletehow much did your sodastream cost at the coop?

ReplyDeleteI think it was around $67 before tax and not including the $10 deposit for CO2 tank.
You have to be a coop member to shop there.
