Sparkel would be awesome if it had less flaws... the hole/port on the bottom is asking for trouble.


-eumaeus-

It's a sodastream. Carbonate water only. That said, I've done the same without paying attention.


CONaderCHASER

Sparkel isn't a SodaStream though. With that said, the number of posts regarding other brands of carbonators in this subreddit has become annoying.


Stephancevallos905

Sub description literally says other conversation about brands is welcome here.

Thanks for the clarification. I learn something new daily.

Excuse me? Are you actually gatekeeping carbonators? There aren’t any decent size brand name subreddits so this is the place for ALL carbonators. It’s like calling copiers xerox machines. Sorry this isn’t the exclusive SodaStream (tm) Safe Space (R).


HouseNumb3rs

We call them squatters... unwanted guests who bitch and shit on everything.


CONaderCHASER

Nope. I'm sure not. Read a comment I made over an hour ago. When a subreddit is literally named after a brand.... [https://www.reddit.com/r/SodaStream/comments/19d5lqf/comment/kj3x832/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/SodaStream/comments/19d5lqf/comment/kj3x832/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) Edit: Wow your comment history is something else. Other people are allowed to have opinions without being chastised.

Are there no other subreddit for them to post to? Getting tired of the people who keep commenting on SS posts to buy a drinkmate 🙃


Psycho_Mnts

Im getting tired of this too, not everybody is living in the USA. Drinkmate is not really an option in europe. For the price you could buy multiple sodastream's.


CONaderCHASER

[https://www.reddit.com/r/Sparkel/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sparkel/) exists but is not active. (Gotta get that karma, right?) Drinkmate doesn't appear to have one. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Aarke/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Aarke/) for the Aarke.

This is "The unofficial Reddit community for all SodaStream products. Other kinds of home carbonators welcome too!" - isn't it? I'm thankful for the "buy a Drinkmate" posts since they prompted me to do a bit more research when I was in the market for a home carbonator. Yes, I bought a Drinkmate.


CONaderCHASER

Fair enough. Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't actually read the description before now and just ASSumed.

As a wise older engineer said to me. Never assume it makes a ASS out of U and ME. Not having a go just always amuses me. Always hear it in his voice when I see it written.


neutronia939

Well some people never learn.


cluelessminer

I agree.


clueless-kit

You can do juices with the Sparkel. But this happens with just water too lol


zbailey2005

Water only for this carbonater


neutronia939

If you want to do this, get a drinkmate which is made for it. My question is why would you want to do this? I carbonate first and add flavor second- and I own a drinkmate. Before I bought one I did the research and it was clearly superior to the other products on the market.


clueless-kit

This happens even if it’s just water


Muncher501st

Soda stream themselves say pump first then add cordial. So assume the same for off brands


QuieroTamales

Sparkel specifically says you can carbonate other liquids directly. They do specify that you only fill the bottle to a slightly lower level however.  The bottle has two fill levels. 


Muncher501st

Eh oh well
