I'm a relatively new member to the boards here. I joined for the beer discussion but hoped you soda guys could help me with something.
I've been looking at an easy home carbonating system just for things like water, flavored water, juice, green tea, and maybe a few sodas. I really just want something that I can put on the counter without my gal telling me how hideous it looks and can easily carb a liter or so on my way out the door in the morning.
I looked at Sodastream but even the less expensive versions have the proprietary CO2 cartridges that seem like they'll add up cost over time. Sodastream also dominates Google searches due to their stranglehold on the market.
Anyway: I was wondering if anyone knew of a company that has a Sodastream like unit that uses a universal CO2 tank (like a paintball tank). Ideally under $100.
