Can I pour onto ice, then add a can of soda water, just to get a taste of cola, or do I need a Soda Stream type device? Nutritional Info?

It has been decades since I studied such matters, but it seems to me that CO2 is all around us and in the air we breathe. And since when has "water" been considered a "chemical"? To be clear, I am not defending the "regular" use of this sugary product, just answering a hypothetical question. Both our statements are subjective, and I stand by what I said. I use the product only on occasion, for nausea.

Sure, you can do that. I pour it over ice, myself. It is good for sipping straight for nausea, or mix with water for a pure (not full of chemicals) cola taste

You do not need a soda stream, soda water will work, that is how they make italian sodas is with just soda water and the syrup and this cola syrup is the best on the market as far as being like regular cola, don't want to mention brand names here but you know what I'm talking about. I hope this helps you.

Absolutely. It does not matter where the carbonated water comes from. Although I believe Soda water has other ingredients that may alter the taste some.

I mix soda water and about 3/4 to one oz. of syrup, mix lightly and then add ice. add a squirt of cherry, or lime and cherry- good too. Do not need a soda stream at all.

Just add water and mix it up. Not sure if there is a restriction on how much to drink per day, I don't know why there would be a limit though.

I have a soft cooler that holds about eight "sodas" that fits in here perfectly with some room to spare. I haven't tried to just fill it with ice but I don't think it would work very well. There is nothing to insulate the ice from melting and it being black doesn't help either. A five dollar soft cooler is the way to go in my opinion.

Yes i believe you can. In Jan 2012 I gave up diet sodas. I buy plain carbonated water and add fresh squeezed lime juice and coconut water to make a lime soda. But I am sure any fruit juice would be fine. Hope this helps.

I use sodas stream syrups as they work the same. Or you could even use juice just requires more carbonation.

You can buy soda stream syrups that's what I do and they are great just make sure you read the instructions on the soda stream syrups.

Sure! I'm almost positive you can mix this with anything! Orange juice would be another good one, or carbonated water for maybe a healthier choice!

Peter E., I'm sorry but I've only had my Primo Flavorstation for a short period of time and have not used up a full cylinder of CO2. I am keeping track of the number of liters I get. I also have never used or know anyone who has used a Soda Stream. so I wouldn't have anything to compare to.Sincerely, Ronald

I would recommend that you get the unit really cold and the drinks really cold before you put them in. Add ice packs around the drinks. The Thermos ones work really great for this purpose.

You can put anything you want in the sparkling water. That said, as others have mentioned, the sparkling water isn't nearly as carbonated as the sparkling water that's included in soda such as Coke, 7-Up, etc. So, this sparkling water dispenser isn't a great alternative to soda pop. Also, because the sparkling water isn't heavily carbonated, I personally don't like adding the soda mixes, because they just make the water taste like *flat* soda pop.

Yes. But I usually add crushed ice from my fridge just to go easy on and hopefully extend the life. It does great with that! I usually find slightly tilting at an angle helps, just make sure theres enough liquid to avoid a splash. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried to carbonate an already mixed up cocktail but have made "mixers" like coke, diet coke, tonic, etc. I buy the soda stream bottles of syrup and they now make a pump for them which is awesome.

Yes you can, i do. I add water to tast almost half & half. I place it in the freezer untill cold. Personally I have had 5 machines this is the best....enjoy

i use both. water alone will work, but adding ice makes a big difference. i'm very happy with the purchase.

Yes, I use SodaStream and have tried the diet cream soda flavor. I like it and thought it had a nice, rich vanilla-y taste. No nasty aftertaste. I like all the SodaStream diet flavors. I have tried these diet flavors: cola, caffeine free cola, lime cola, ginger ale, root beer, cream soda, pink grapefruit, & my fave: diet orange mango

Not a photo trick at all, yeah you can definitely make the ice clear. Just takes a little practice because it depends on how pure the water is and how fast it cools. Use the best water not tap, then boil it. Play around putting different places in the freezer.

i just use soda stream flavors (you dont add the flavor(s) till after you carbonate the water).
