    Serious question: Does Sodastream have any competitors right now? The concept is good for reducing plastics and transportation waste at scale, I just don't want to support Israhell

      This is way easier than it might look. It's less convenient to make on demand, but you can spend 5-10 min a week carbonating a bunch of bottles.

      I looked into at home soda makers a few months back, my mother thought it'd be cheaper overall for us and with Sodastream it would have, but that's because their syrups are obnoxiously cheap compared to competitors. There are other companies that make soda makers that are highly rated that don't come with the baggage of sodastream. I was going to get the drinkmate omnifizz but couldn't really find a good source of syrups that I'd want to drink.
