So far I'm liking the Drinkmate, but it'd be nice if their recipe site had actual recipes for things that weren't cocktails.
Like they do have "recipes" for non-cocktail drinks but they're all just like "put orange juice and honey into the drinkmate bottle and carbonate!" with no ratios or whatever.
@emma yeah I've been using SimpliSoda for my CO2 exchanges. they're great.
also I tried making coffee soda but it still gets way too foamy. at least cleaning it up was a lot easier than on a sodastream.
The design of the Drinkmate is so much better than of the Sodastream, and the fact the infuser cap is a separate part that can be easily replaced if it does get janked up gives me a lot more optimism for this beverage-carbonation platform.
Oh also it is way more efficient at its CO2 usage and a lot easier to gauge how much carbonation is needed.
@fluffy you are tempting me to get a new machine. The Sodastream I have has. maybe gotten a little wonky? It has also been rigged to hook up to a full tank of CO2.
@fluffy we switched to the Drinkmate when we started getting our CO2 bottles from a vendor in Green Bay. We've had it nearly six years and it's served us well.
