Soda Stream Machine {Review and Giveaway}

Have you ever had the chance to try out one of these Soda Stream machines?

I thought meh, fun to try, but it’ll just end up taking up space and I won’t even use it.

NOT TRUE! We use this every single day. No joke!!!

So here’s the rundown on how it works:

It comes with this carbonation thingie which you fit into the back of the machine.

Then there are these two 1 liter plastic bottles and you fill them with COLD water. I usually let them sit in the fridge and get really chilled. Fit the bottle into the front of the machine like so.

Then you push down on the carbonating button and the magic tornado begins!

Then you slowly add the flavoring syrup to the bottle of carbonated water.

Shake it up gently and enjoy!

And look at all these flavors we’ve been having fun trying. My favorite is the diet root beer and my son loves the orange and the pink grapefruit!
