Do you remember when you were a kid and really, really wanted something but your parents said no? Well one of those things for me was a SodaStream machine! So I was thrilled to do this SodaStream Power Review.

You can buy a SodaStream Power online here in Australia, here in the US or here in the UK.
I’m sure all of my friends had one but my parents just wouldn’t get us one. They had no appreciation for the bubbly magic maker that was a SodaStream! So when I visited my friend’s houses and they had one, I was so envious. Imagine, a soda water maker that uses tap water.
As I got older I started to drink less soft drinks and more water so the eagerness for one went away until now – when I heard about the SodaStream Power Black. I’ve always spent a lot on bottled water as I don’t really like the taste of tap water but I’m trying to reduce this amount and feel the packaging is also such a waste, bearing in mind the contents are, well, water!

SodaStream Review
The SodaStream Power makes sparkling water from tap water in just seconds. I love sparkling water! I was a bit dubious though about whether a SodaStream sparkling water maker would be of benefit to me. Wouldn’t the water just taste like tap water with bubbles?
Well don’t ask me why but no, it doesn’t taste like tap water to me! I mean, I know it is but adding the sparkle and especially when it’s been chilling in the fridge, well it’s lovely. It’s a carbonated water maker miracle!
Make Different Flavoured Water!
We’ve been trying out adding a few different flavours to it as well such as pomegranate juice – yum! My favourite is just Lime and Soda though – so refreshing in the daytime and with perhaps a splash or two of vodka in the evening! The hubs loves a Sodastream Lemon Lime Bitters.
We’ve also been loving working through some of the recipes on the SodaStream website.
Since we got our Soda Stream machine we’ve used it every day, numerous times a day. It’s really helping me to stay hydrated as the weather has gotten so much hotter here recently.
Save Money!

Better still, I’m no longer wasting money on bottled water and I’ve embraced tap water finally!

How to Use SodaStream Power Demo
I love that SodaStream are committed to Australian Sustainability and it’s something that my family are making changes to do too. We’ve been learning so much about how we can waste less as a family and this is another great step for us.
How to use the SodaStream Power
It’s so easy to use, you simply fill up the SodaStream glass bottles with tap water, pop that in the snap lock system, choose your level of carbonation and in a few seconds, you have Soda Stream bottles of sparkling water. Easy!
You can purchase SodaStream replacement bottles and SodaStream gas bottles from Big W and Target.
Each SodaStream co2 gas cylinder will make us 60L of sparkling water and when that’s done, we’ll swap it for a new one. The used canister is then taken back to SodaStream who clean, inspect and refill it to be reused. I just wish we’d started using one earlier. All of the SodaStream reviews I’ve read raved about it.

I hope this SodaStream review was helpful – have you tried the water from one?

I’d love to have a new one and I’d have lemon, lime and bitters everyday!!
Blackcurrent on the rocks with a twist of lemon for the kids and for the adults I’d do a Heston Blumenthal and turn cheap white wine into sham-pagne! :) I love how SodaStream could massively reduce landfill, even the C02 cylinders are recycled!

Great for my livestream
This comp is ream
Now let’s eat some ice cream!
Definately Lime & Soda. Sounds simple but it’s such a classic and perfect when I’m trying to lose weight!
Watermelon, ginger, lemon and mint. A refreshing summery solution to the the impending Perth annual swelter.

A soda stream maker is on my son’s Christmas wish list, as he would like soda water with a piece of lemon in it whenever he wants to.
As for us for a special Christmas treat it would be Nan’s punch; a family tradition on Christmas Day and a great way to remember my Nan. It simply contains ginger beer, lemonade and pineapple juice; with passion fruit pulp, ice and some fresh mint. Perfect for a hot day!
I’d make strawberry and blackberry syrup by boiling berries, sugar and water and adding it to carbonated Soda Stream water! It’s so natural this way!
Lemon water to stay healthy and start the day afresh!
I love my ginger beer so that would have to be first!

This prize is great for summer holidays :-)
lime & soda!
I would add vanilla to everything, everything tastes delicious with vanilla.
Sodastream was our forbidden thing as a kid too! My mum always said we didn’t need to keep up with the neighbours and that it was gimmicky. Shows what she knew! Sodastream has become a hugely iconic brannd now in Australia, everyone I know has one or wants one.
My favourite summer drink is a very simple Sparkling water with mint leaves from my pot out the front. It’s super cheap and refreshing. It would become alot cheaper if I was producing it from Tap water though1
Just plain old fizzy water for me, with cucumber, orange and lemon peel and mint. A bit like Pimms, without the Pimms!
I would make some kind of berry drink. Maybe strawberry slushy.
Berry and Melon as it would be such a refreshing drink to have on a summers day
I would mix my ginger beer syrup and fresh lime with sodastream to make an awesome refreshing drink.
I’d love watermelon and rockmelon
Can I start by telling you what I wouldn’t be making? My old housemate and I thought it might be funny to try and turn wine into champagne in our sodastream, and somehow ended up breaking the entire thing.
I feel I’ve learned my lesson and am now responsible enough to manage the carbonating process. For me, it’s as simple as a vodka, lime and sparkling. Perfect for summer, and pretty hard to get wrong.
Good old Pina coladas !!
A nice refreshing lemon and lime drink. It’s a great thirst quencher and very refreshing.
Something with rootbeer. It’s my son’s favorite!

Raspberry lemonade – it is something I always order in a pub when I don’t feel like a beer. Can you make beer with the soda stream? Just kidding.
The watermelon berry fix looks and sounds delicious!!!
I know it’s basic and boring, but for me it would have to be SodaStream’s cola. We had a SodaStream growing up, and man I miss that cola!
Summer days Fruit Punch:
pieces of orange, banana, melon, pineapple, cranberry juice, soda stream lemonade, mix it all togther. Then with some pre made Sodastream lemonade ice cubes (approx 1-2 trays) add the ice cubes to the fruit punch and stir. This helps to keep the mix cold without watering it down
I love sparkling water with a twist of lime and some mint. Very refreshing on a hot day.
