I like drinking sparkling water. Often at bars I will order soda water, when they have it on tap.

While walking back from town on Sunday afternoon, with the St Andrews sun beating down on my defenceless head (I’d forgotten to put a hat on), I thought how nice it would be to have a large glass of cold, fizzy water when I got home. However I can’t bring myself to buy bottled water, fizzy or otherwise, when we have a plentiful supply of tap water.

I thought back to when I shared a flat with Andrew. He had a SodaStream, and I spent at least one summer in the late 90s drinking practically nothing but freshly-fizzed water. I had a look at the current range of SodaStream machines.

Does anyone have any experience with modern SodaStreams? Are they worth the money? Or is there a better (cost-effective and environmentally friendly) way of making sparkling water at home?
