Guide Review - Soda Club Fountain Jet Edition 1
The Soda Club Fountain Jet Edition 1 is like having your own soda fountain in your home, but without the need for electricity or batteries. The special bottles have a hermetic seal which holds carbonation longer than commercial sodas.
It's a fairly simple concept. Basically, the water is carbonated by use of a CO2 tank. The tank is enclosed in a sleek machine with a manual push-button pump that releases the gas into the bottle. The flavoring, if any, is added after the fact. It's fast and effortless.
The Soda Club has a wide variety of 26 flavorings from which to choose including cola, lemon-lime, orange, sugar-free, and even energy drink. You will get some flavoring syrups (3 to 8, depending on the package you order) included with the soda maker, each of which will make 12 liters of soda or seltzer. Replacements are available by mail order and in some specialty stores.
However, with a little imagination you can flavor your own soda to suit your own tastes, just as you can regulate the carbonation level. Use flavored extracts for carbonated water or fruit nectars for soda. Make your own sugar-free mixes with powdered unsweetened drink mix dissolved in a little hot water and sweetener to make a syrup. Let cool and add after carbonating.
Do not overfill the bottles or you will get a shower, and always put the flavoring in after carbonation. Recommended.
