Could this also be a thread for alternatives?
For example, I picked up a thrift store sodastream a while back because it's seemingly almost the only working brand that just makes fizzy water fast, and certainly the only one with enough market penetration to be ending up in thrift stores. (I actually had a whole setup with a keg and a CO2 tank before but it sucked to use and the water wasn't that fizzy.)
I haven't been able to use it since it ran out of gas, because I refuse to buy a replacement canister from sodastream. Any knockoffs available? I remember not being able to find any. If I had like 4 of the canisters I'd just refill them myself using dry ice but its a pain to buy pelletized dry ice in that small of quantity to do just 1.
I cannot comprehend that you moved FROM the keg setup to a soda stream. Do you still have the keg/CO2 tank? You can get soda bottle adapters that will let you do a smaller quantity. You should be able to make 2L in under a minute if you shake violently.
You also can get bulk tank adapter hoses for the sodastream, if you really like that format.
Edit: I was being rude and it was uncalled for
The form factor of the sodastream is nice, but I’m confused that a keg setup wasn’t getting the water fizzy enough. Getting a small adapter to transfer from a bigger tank to a sodastream canister is the simplest solution imo.
