It’s also a great way to experiment with various carbonated beverages and sparkling water, and flavor syrups BUT all provided that it can produce the required amount of fizz (light fizz or strong fizz) and carbonation levelto be enjoyable in a fizzy drink. The above are some Soda Stream tips for the most common impediments preventing your SodaStream from properly carbonating your beverage. It’s always a good idea to clean your SodaStream machine with a warm washcloth after every use, even if you don’t try to re-carbonate flat soda or make a difference sparkling drink. In fact, this is recommended since not everyone will enjoy the same amount of carbonation as everyone else.

The instruction manual of your SodaStream has a few different ways you can push the carbonation button, but these are merely guidelines.

The sugary elements present in these drinks have a tendency to cake onto the nozzle and harden over time. Pushing the button for longer or in bigger patterns will let you dictate how much of your current CO2 tank you flush into your water bottle. Finally, the ingredients used in making the drinks can also affect the fizziness. Some ingredients, such as citric acid, can cause the carbonation to dissipate faster. Therefore, it is important to follow the recommended recipe and use only approved ingredients. But warm flavoring or syrup will immediately cause some of the carbon dioxide to be lost since the ambient temperature of the water will be raised by a few degrees. As you might know, water is best used for making soda when it is at a cold temperature. Carbon dioxide gas only fully diffuses into the water if the temperature is cold.

This cleaning is even more important if you do decide to try to re-carbonate flat soda or make a fizzy beverage that already has some ingredients for flavoring in the water (like wine or coffee, for example). Finally, the SodaStream machine requires you to press the carbonating button several times to dictate how much carbonation you want to be infused into the current (plastic bottles) bottle of water. This process will purge some of the remaining air out of the top of your bottle and make the seal even tighter than before. It’ll also increase the amount of space available for CO2 to be safely infused into the beverage. Sodastream CleanlinessFor starters, you can always buy carbonated water at the store and add carbonation using your SodaStream to achieve a drink that is truly fizzier than all the rest. The most important factor affecting the fizziness of the drinks is the carbonation level. SodaStream machines allow users to choose their desired level of carbonation. The more carbonation added to the drink, the longer it will stay fizzy. Generally, a highly carbonated drink can remain fizzy for several days. This is also a bad thing since it might result in an explosive bottle when you’re trying to untwist it from the latch to remove the bottle. Chilling the syrup or other flavoring compounds will prevent this temperature change from occurring and your water will retain more of the CO2 gas as a result. SodaStream machines usually require you to carbonate plain water before adding any flavoring to make your custom sod.

Failing to chill your plain water (cold water) beforehand can result in less overall fizz and make you wonder if the machine is faulty rather than the plain water itself.

As an aside for when you make your soda and IF you intend putting that in the freezer to cool down just be careful as leaving it too long could cause that to explore – as I explained in this article. But there are a few other tips you can use if the above solutions don’t work or if you just want to improve the fizziness of your drinks in the future.

It not only allows you to make your own custom sodas or sparkling waters but also helps save you money when compared with the cost of buying soda regularly. Whatever your reasons for not getting the carbonation and bubbles you desire in your homemade soda, there are really easy methods to fix each of them. Getting a full tank should alleviate the problem since the SodaStream will be able to fill your water bottle with much more carbonation than previously. Although it seems counterintuitive, don’t screw the SodaStream water bottle into the apparatus all the way up; instead, leave a little bit of space between the bottle and the carbonation nozzle so that there is a way for some of the air to escape. Warm water will negate this process and will prevent much of the carbon dioxide from actually being absorbed by the water inside the bottle.This signals that the bottle with the level of carbonation, is actually in place and is ideally sealed to keep the incoming carbonation inside the bottle itself. It’s easy to forget how much CO2 gas you have left in the tank, especially if you make lots of soda beverages frequently.
