    Upon cursory glance at internet research yes sodastream is Israeli. Pass.

      It’s also just a stand for a nozzle and a valve with really really overpriced CO2 cans

      Check out this DIY fitting video to understand how it works and why you NEVER have to have a stupid sodastream to carbonate drinks

      It’s exponentially cheaper to buy a 5 or 10 pounds refillable cylinder
      and just fill existing 2 litres bottle

        Only thing I’ve been told to be mindful of is that sodastream CO2 cartridges are food safe and a lot of the cheaper alternatives aren’t.

      The company is from Israel but the concept is not. There’s plenty of alternatives from 30 to 1000 bucks.

      I got a carbonation machine from “sodapop” (Austrian) for under 50 euros, including a CO2 bottle and 3 water bottles. I buy store-brand CO2 replacement bottles and either store-brand or TriTop (German) syrup.
