Just go to a welding gas store or resto supply store and get 'beer gas'. CO2 is CO2.
You can buy an adapter to connect the big cylinder directly to the sodastream. I have been using mine this way for 3 years. I pay about 40 bucks for a tank of CO2 that lasts ~5 months.
This is what I did for years. It's a great system!
Be interesting to see what the price difference is. I mean, surely buying a bulk cylinder is cheaper....
I used to be a HEAVY pepsi drinker but as I got older thew sugar didn't agree with me so I replaced it with sparkling water. I was going through a sodastream cylinder every 3 to 4 days. Whereas this bad boy costs me 40 bucks, and I have a 40 dollar deposit that I'll probably never get back because I will always have a cylinder.
The savings are huge.
I mostly drink still water and black coffee. I'm not drinking right now, so whenever I get the hankering for a beer I have a sparkling water, that's very rarely. My wife and I buy 2 or 3 different flavours and brands, a flat each. And between us those 60ish cans last well over 3 month.
I'm not sure what a sodastream cylinder costs. But at $40 for a tank for beer gas, I'm positive that the savings are insanely steep!
The co2 in those bulk cylinders would be very inexpensive vs. what you get in the smaller bottles. But there's usually a deposit of $100+ for the cylinder. It only makes sense if you're going through a LOT of co2, and we really aren't. Maybe a small bottle every 2-3 months.
Then it might make more sense to grab a small bit of dry ice every time you're needing to top up your bottles.
Nah, it's just super easy for me to head over to my local Home Hardware, drop off a cylinder (or two, or three), and pay the $12 or whatever it is now to exchange them.
The last time I got CO2 was last summer. Four in total, and we still haven't finished the first one. We really don't drink enough to justify any extra effort, but will need to replace that syrup soon! LOL
Fair dues! I barely drink soda at all, water or black coffee for the most part.
