Gotham Gadgets: The Jet Soda Maker by Soda Stream- A Wonderful Way to Enjoy Carbonated Drinks!

Soda Stream has revolutionized drinking carbonated drinks and we hope we are the first to tell you about it!  With the soda makers from Soda Stream, you at home can easily create your own customized carbonated drink from seltzer to soda and it eliminates all kinds of extra problems normally associated with drinking soda.  When you make your own soda, you do not have to pay the fee associated with recycling when you buy the soda, you do not have to save up the bottles or cans to return them, you don't have to return them, and we believe you are getting a better deal: Soda Stream soda makers are more cost-effective over the long run.   And of course, they are better for the environment.  We also love that you don't have to lug the soda bottles home from the grocery store.


What a great new product for the New Year!  We were a bit perplexed when we first learned of this product-it sounded like a great idea but was it going to be easy to use and effective or was it going to be one more thing that took up precious counter-space which of course is at at premium in Manhattan?


It is easy as this: You put the machine together, which took Peachy about a minute.  You put the tank of carbonation in the back of the machine after taking off the cap.  Once you have cleaned the bottles - the Jet Soda Maker comes with two - you fill one with very cold water up to the water line and screw it into the device.  You hit the button on the top a few times, and bubbles are infused in your ordinary water.  There is no electricity, no mess, no fuss.  You remove the bottle by unscrewing it and then add the flavoring you want.  We recommend using less syrup than recommended as less really is more.


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.


On the website, they are available in a myriad of countries so this is really an international phenomenon!  We recommend this product.
