It's too late now I suppose for recommendations, but I really like my DrinkMate. Unlike SodaStream you can carbonate any liquid not just water. Comes out better if you premix the concentrate and carbonate all together. Lose too much carbonation otherwise. It's also not a company that directly participates in genocide 👀 so that's definitely better too.
Whatever you got I highly recommend getting a larger, standard tank and adapter. The prices these companies charge for CO2 is absolutely insane. Find a local supplier, dry ice can also work.
That's the one we went with. Thanks for the nudge about standard tanks, I actually was considering getting a corny keg down the road just for my brewing hobby anyway. Need to find a local supplier though.
Check out Big Clive. He’ll put anything through a SodaStream. The below link is Fireball, but he’s done a dozen or more different experiments with it and not all work. He’s a neat guy though.

Yeah he's great, though I more watch his electronics stuff.
These videos illustrate the problem with that brand. Unremovable carbonator, hard to control pressure release. Drinkmate has a removable, cleanable head and fine control for pressure release so fizz over isn't an issue.
