GIFT IDEA - SODASTREAM

About Sodastream and the Jet

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at
home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you’ll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.

sodastream fountainjets

The Jet soda maker comes in a range of bi-colored machines specially created to the colored pallet of any modern kitchen. Among the Jet features are: automatic access gas release mechanism, fits extra large carbonators - optional 100 liter aluminum cylinder, minimal space usage, customized carbonation level and easy to clean drip tray.

A lot of people come to the house, and I do like to be hospitable. I usually have some confectionery around but, lately, haven’t been stocking up on soda. (I have been avoiding it since my stomach surgery.) The season for iced tea has passed. Many don’t like hot beverages. What to do?

Almost twenty years ago I was given a soda machine. I worked it to death. Eventually out of cartridges and flavoring, it was doomed to the land of used up appliances as ours is a disposable society. Well, I wished and wished I could have one again. Then Sodastream made my wish come true. It sent me its Sodastream Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker. AND it doesn’t need either batteries or electricity. I just love it.

I can make a bottle three steps in just seconds–fill, fizz, flavor. It is just that quick and easy. I can choose between regular and diet in over twenty flavors including cola and cream as well as three of special interest to my household namely the regular energy drink and diets cola caffeine free and pink grapefruit. There is also water flavorings available in orange, berry, and lemon lime.

The Sodastream Fountain Jet is available online and in some major stores like Kohls. Its MSR is $99.95.

    Hi Pat. I know that you said ONE flavor but I really would want to try to mix the orange soda and the cream soda in hopes that it would taste like a 50/50 popsicle. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I win this as this is the only thing that my 9yr old daughter wants from Santa -however odd it sounds ;-)
