Does anybody have recommendations for a drink carbonator? (like a sodastream)

My partner likes fizzy drinks. I want to get something that will last, and won’t lock us into a single vendor for refills or replacement parts.

I looked at making our own custom one - like this. We might still do something like this, but I’m also pretty clueless with this stuff and don’t want anything to explode or poison us :)

Our priorities, ordered by importance, are:

  • No lock-in (adversarial interop is fine)
  • Well built/long-lasting
  • Convenient, safe, easy to use

Any suggestions?

    After I got my sodastream it tasted a little off, but good enough. When I got my adapter and a 20lb co2 tank, it suddenly tasted sooooooo much better. Not sure if it’ll happen to you, but I kept the refil that came with mine as a backup for when I’m recharging my main 20lb tank.
