tbh its all about the syrup/juice and finding the correct amount of co2 to add too little not really fizzy too much and it taints the drink aswell as making it too fizzy

Both were fantastic back in the day as a kid growing up but not sure theirs a place for either any more.

Kudos. I had totally forgot about that stuff! We used to knick it from the local Co-Op when we were young scallywags.
Sodastream ruled! Route 66 American Cola made up to about twice the strength it was meant to be was the best! Oh and fizzy ribena was awesome too 
I'd be quite happy with a sodastream and pub style postmix. Coke on tap always tastes better than bottled or canned stuff.

yeh the taste of the stuff is pretty bad, thats why im saying you can get the Coca Cola and Pepsi, 10 litre post mix stuff, same as you get at mcdonalds and pubs etc. It tastes identical but cheaper
As for cheets64 its not steam bud its carbonated water, you know the same stuff in all fizzy juice thats my typo heh.
I prefer the taste to tins or plastic bottle pepsi. Coke is still godlike from a glass bottle though.
This makes 60 litres of pepsi
Ironic that pubs/clubs etc all make more money out of these box's than spirits but the spirits are all locked up but these are left open in the cellar.
This was my weekend treat back in 1987, (in those days children were given fizzy drinks as treats rather than a staple diet) I used to look forward to the process of putting the bottle in the compartment and gassing it a couple of times, and making my drinks fizzy. Probably still got it somewhere, it was cream and orange. Brings back memories. Awesome.

Fizzy. Just like any other fizzy drink you can buy, but the flavour depends on what syrup mix you get.

Nah, my parents weren't middle class enough to have a soda stream. 
My cousin had one but I remember it being pretty rubbish, cherryade stuff, it pretty much tasted like soda water still.

I don't think the middle classes had them
You get a big 5L box of syrup. You mix it with carbonated water, and I guess the mixture ratio gives 60L.
That was what I was implying the costs was not the machine or even the syrup it was the CO2 producing CO2 in tiny cylinders was very expensive...
nah you can get em in makro.
each co2 cylinder makes 60 litres, syrup is 10 litres to 60litres so a perfect match
Sodaclub have a deal at the moment where by you can get 2 new cyclinders when you send one old one back for a small fee. Or they refill your cylinder. Sure it works out a tad more expensive but fresh pepsi rocks
