Can you use Soda Stream sparkling drink mixes with the sparkling water? The Soda Stream soda or the fruit drink mixes?

You can put anything you want in the sparkling water. That said, as others have mentioned, the sparkling water isn't nearly as carbonated as the sparkling water that's included in soda such as Coke, 7-Up, etc. So, this sparkling water dispenser isn't a great alternative to soda pop. Also, because the sparkling water isn't heavily carbonated, I personally don't like adding the soda mixes, because they just make the water taste like *flat* soda pop.

Yes you can, but the drinks on the screen will be incorrect. Meaning if the screen says its mixing a margarita and you have pineapple juice in the container that should have sour mix, you won't get a margarita, that's the only thing. Also you can't use juices with pulp or it will clog up.

my son buys sodastream syrup and tries to figure out the proportions....I just use the fizzy water and add a shot of peach juice or lemonade to it.

Yes, but they are very expensive and much bigger. Soda Stream is a big commitment. It's not cost efficient to throw them out and buy brand new ones. Frankly, i have a bunch of different soda makers and the best by far is the old fashioned bottle that you charge and shake --like from old time movies where they'd add a spritz to some hard liquor. They are like $35 but last forever and the chargers are just pennies per liter.

I have not made an attempt to do anything but water. I am very satisfied with flavoring the water as the instructions prescribed. The carbonation is excellent for adding whatever you prefer. You will probably have quite a mess with carbonating with juice.

Yes, I use it all the time for sparkling water. I found this link very helpful in setting up a home system. http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2012-06/how-make-your-own-home-carbonation-system. My advice is to get the regulator, cap, and carbonator online rather than from a home brew place. Also, I found that a local landscaping supply warehouse sells the CO2 tank for much less than the home brew stores. Good luck.

I use it in any liquid, hot or cold, and yes, I have used it in a carbonated beverage. I also use it sprinkled on vegetables or mixed into recipes when I am out of lemon juice. You only need a very small sprinkle for a glass of beverage, so add it gradually, to taste.

Yes, you can add the Soda Stream flavors to the carbonated water. You can also carbonate wines and juices, which makes the SodaPlus superior to the other carbonation machines on the market.

Hi Oscar -- Thanks for your inquiry. You can use any liquid you choose in the Soda Plus. It's fun to fizz up your favorite fruit juices and try different juice combinations -- and it's more economical. You can even make sparkling wines and re-carbonate beverages that have gone flat. Also, the Soda Plus is easy to use and uses any standard brand of CO2 cartridge so you're not limited by more expensive proprietary brands. We hope this information has been helpful. If you want to learn more, please feel free to contact us. Best regards, aaa kitchenstuff

I suppose you could use the water flavorings but it might be difficult to mix well since the filter (& straw) extends to the bottom of the water bottle. That is just my guess because I have not tried this.

I also use frozen concentrate juice. In fact that's all I use now. I don't use any of the soda stream syrups. My method is to check the side of the juice concentrate to see what ratio of water to concentrate to use. Most say to mix with 36oz of water to make 48oz of juice. I figured out that this is a 3:1 ratio. I filled the soda stream bottle to the fill line and poured that into a measuring cup and it was 4 cups. So I put 3 cups of water in the soda stream bottle, carbonate that and then add 1 cup of juice concentrate. There are only two downsides to this method. 1. Carbonating only 3 cups of water doesn't work quite the same as the full 4 cups (fill line), you'll have to get the hang of that. 2. You'll find that you have juice concentrate containers that are 1/3 full after using 1 cup. I usually experiment with mixing those with others, or if you like one kind, buy a bunch and eventually it will even out. Here's a couple good combinations I found while experimenting (mix both with 3 cups of carbonated water): 1/2 - 2/3 cup of Old Orchard Cranberry Bend + 1/3 - 1/2 Welches White Grape (totaling 1 cup). You get just enough cranberry flavor and the white grape adds a nice sweetness to it. 2/3 cup of Old Orchard Apple/Passion/Mango + 1/3 cup of Old Orchard Blueberry/Pomegranate (totaling 1 cup). I remember this one being pretty good. What I love about both of these is that they are 100% juice. Anyway, have fun!

Just look up the Sodastream flavors, That's what I used. Would recommend the variety pack if this is your first time using a machine like this.

I would not mix with gatorade. This is far better combination of ingredients than gatorade (not all the sugar)...mix with filtered or bottled water.

I mix soda water and about 3/4 to one oz. of syrup, mix lightly and then add ice. add a squirt of cherry, or lime and cherry- good too. Do not need a soda stream at all.

There are a lot of ways to flavor your carbonated beverages. Personally, I like mixing concentrated flavors with simple syrup, but that's basically the same thing as Torani syrups and the ones sold by Soda Stream can also be used in a Primo Flavorstation.

yes. I blend raw oranges, apples, grapefruit all the time to make fresh fruit drinks. Elite does a great job. It's quick and easy. Enjoy.
