It will also be helpful to set up your soda machine near a sink so that you can fill up your bottle with water later.
Always read the manual for your specific soda machine before you start setting it up.
If you are using the SodaStream Genesis or another smaller model of the SodaStream, you will pull the top of the soda machine off instead of the back cover.
If you have a smaller model of the SodaStream, you will not need to screw your canister in.
No matter what model of SodaStream you have, make sure your cover clicks into place when you put it back on. Your SodaStream may have a CO2 meter that will warn you when your carbonator is running low. If it does, reset the meter each time you put in a new canister by holding down the “reset” button for 5 seconds.
Using cold water allows you to drink your soda right away without having to chill it first.
There will be a gap between the base of the machine and the bottom of the bottle.
You may have to try multiple levels of carbonation before you find the one that you like the most.
Holding the bottle at an angle makes it less likely to overflow as you pour. Popular flavors of SodaMix include peach tea, cola, and lemon lime.
You can also slowly turn your bottle upside down and right side up to mix in your flavor.
Store your excess soda in the fridge with the cap on for up to 2 days.
