I really love carbonated water but for some reason can never remember to buy it at the store. I heard about the Sodastream recently and am really intrigued. I wonder if it would be a pain in the ass to deal with picking up new CO2 refills or if it's not that bad? You can recycle the bottles at Sur La Table and they will sell you a refill for half price ($15), which isn't bad but who knows how long they will last. I also don't know if it's one of those totally useless appliances that is really stupid to buy. It does waste less plastic which is good, but it would probably take a while to pay for itself in the savings on buying the bottled version.
We've decided not to buy it for now, but who knows - maybe soon.
