    Anyone know of any good alternatives to Sodastream that do not support genocide ? I want to get one for my dad for the holidays to replace his sodastream, as he loves using it but was not thrilled when I told him about the company.

    Also need one for myself honestly. They keep jacking up price of carbonated water

        We both just drink plain unflavored carbonated water, it just works out to be more cost effective to use a sodastream even with their overpriced canisters than to buy in cans or even 2L bottles.

        Getting the gas for carbonation shouldn’t be a problem for me at least, places here will fill pretty much any canister for you for less than the sodastream replacement costs.

        Just wondering about a machine itself that is not pro apartheid. I’ll have to do some looking online when I get a chance

      There are these things that alcohol brewers and coffee people use to add nitrogen to their coffee.

      Nitrogenated drinks (e.g. nitro cold brew) give a nicer head and go down much smoother. It’s usually a manual doo-hickey, and it use standard NO2 cartridges. One example is NitroPress, I don’t know anything about the company, I think the general technique is neat and I’m sure there’s a half-decent company somewhere. On amzn there were some around USD 100.

        That does sound cool and would be neat for coffee but not sure would work for what im looking for unfortunately. I also kind of want that now too though so thank you lol
