I have used my Sodastream and enjoyed it for 2-3 years, however they have recently discontinued most of their syrup flavors leaving me without soda.
I see I can purchase Bag in a Box syrups online. These however are 5:1 concentrates instead of the 23:1 that Sodastream uses. Thus, when using their 1L bottles to carbonate, there is simply not enough volume left for the greater amount of syrup needed without wasting (pouring out) 15-20% of your carbonated water. You can't carbonate a bottle that is not full.
So...what is your opinion on transferring the carbonated water to a 1.5L bottle after carbonation? Think it will go flat? Any suggestions for a good sturdy shatterproof 1.5L bottle with an wide mouth top?
Any other ideas?
