Sodastream Terra

They say that nostalgia is the next big marketing thing and an easy way for a company to make money. I don’t disagree but sometimes there are some things that should never have gone away in the first place and Sodastream is definitely one of them! This latest version of the fizzy drinks machine is a much slicker design than we saw back in the 80’s, more suited to modern tastes and styles. Of course technology has its part to play in this too with better designed and more compact CO2 cannisters so that the unit itself doesn’t take up too much space on the counter or end up being too over-bearing on your work surface.

For those still wondering what this actually is, you basically put water in the bottle, plus any flavours you may wish to add (lemon juice for example), click it in to place and press and hold the carbonating button. One brief push later and you have carbonated water! Easy. As well as your own flavouring, there are also a range of syrups available for well-known and popular sparkling drinks such as Pepsi and 7Up, and Sodastream have their own flavours you can purchase too such as ginger ale, tonic water and more fruity flavours such as orange and crisp apple.

The huge advantage of this system is the ease with which you can make sparkling drinks and the fact that kids can use it with ease too, allowing parents to provide carbonated drinks without having to spend a fortune on cans or use up storage space. You can just use squash if you wish or come up with your own flavours using fresh fruit and have much more control over things such as sugar levels or to avoid artificial flavourings. It really can end up being a great money saver and a way to enjoy making your own style of drink. Wonder if the sparkling wine option is any good… RRP £79.99
