I have had a Sodastream for many years and love the ease and in home convenience for making carbonated water. I bought the Breville to take advantage of the extra features like carbonating juices or sparkling wines. So far I would say I’m not totally impressed. The bottle is a bit awkward to connect and it feels like the carbonation effect doesn’t really last as long as the Sodastream does…maybe an issue with the seal on the bottles ?
It is definitely an attractive looking item on my countertop. Hoping with time and practice it gets a bit easier to use.
