How many times should I be pressing the button for a good fizz; 20 seems like too many?

Press and hold until it buzzes 3 times. That's the perfect fizz for me. 20 is way too many.
869794
Yes 20 is way too many. I like my pop fizzy so I do 5 or 6 buzzes and its usually perfect. My husband does 3 or 4 for him.

You are correct, 20 times is too many. I had the same problem with mine. My grown nephews each have 1 and they only have to push, at the most, for extra fizz, 5 times. Unfortunately, Amazon will not replace the soda stream unit.):

if you over fizz the bubbles may come out of the bottle before your ready. No need to over fizz. Resist the urge to over carbonate. I know it is fun to carbonate but it is not required. I love to carbonate but 20 times that is a lot of buzzing. the Foutain Jet buzzes when you carbonate. Just resist the urge to over carbonate.

I typically do about 20 before I get the first buzz, then another 3-5 for the second one. That's with me pressing as quickly as I can.

Depending on the model you get, when you hold the play/pause button you'll see these options: fod ALL rAN One You just have to hold the button, until one of the options you want comes up. I have two of these gadget and the options are in different order. You want rAN (for random) The other options just repeat "one" repeat "folder" or repeat "all."

Don't know. Got this for my husband. He carbonates just enough for one sitting at a time.... we reuse a 20 fl. oz. "disposable" soda bottle. The cartridge lasts for multiple bottles over a week or two, but not sure exactly how many he's filling. I'm sure in the Fizz Gig, one CO2 cartridge would carbonate as much as one CO2 cartridge in another brand soda maker. My husband loves it. He even carbonates orange and cranberry juice. Doesn't work as well on juice with pulp. It takes a little practice to get it right, or it won't seem to add much carbonation. Recommend watching the video on the maker's site. Don't know.

I've only tried it once so far but I used 14 drops and it is working perfect. You can probably try a few less drops, and see how it works then add more if needed.

I just hold the middle button Down. Sometimes I have to do it a couple times.

This is a bad design on an otherwise great grinder. However I have been running mine at 15 seconds twice in a row for many months without issue. If you are running a really fine grind and want to avoid overheating the motor you may want to give at least some time before running 20 seconds twice and I wouldn't advice a triple run (or more) without waiting the full 5 min.

I have only used mine 20 times or so since purchase, but i have not had any issues with it.

Mine has been operating this way for over 6 mo. I don't remember how i pushed the right buttons but the instructions should tell you.

I don't have kids at home anymore but I would say it would have to pretty rare that that would happen if you use all four buttons four your combo. It's not like a regular combo... You choose how many buttons to push and how many times to push them... Not a sequence of numbers like a safe combo.

I usually do two at a time. I would say that you could easily to between 5 or 6 if necessary

Thanks for the speedy response. I think I was after a number though. It's going to be either 16 Points of Engagement, or 32. You can tell by turning the freehub one full rotation and counting how many times it clicks.

No. I figured things out from Youtube. I'll be honest, I don't use mine often. It does take 20 minutes for a full cycle.

The amount of buttons available are software related. You can control them in your settings. I don't like all the buttons, so I've turned them off. PC users like having more activated.

You need to hold the button down. I prefer this to a "double click" approach.

Yeah theres two. A short one and a longer one. Just make sure your fingers arent I the way when you close them...doesnt feel good

You don't have to push the button several times. All you have to do is hold the timer button in and it will automatically increase and the higher the minutes the faster it goes. It took THREE (3) seconds to reach the 7 minute mark. JUST SIMPLY BY HOLDING THE BUTTON IN. It will increase automatically.

I would start with 2 or 3, depends on how strong you want your mixture. Start with less and you can add more if needed.
