Cool. Super helpful review Jordan and I love the simple in which way you explain everything. This is great for work at home during the pandemic. Thanks also for the reminder that your website is for deals.
This model requires the smaller tanks. I liked the older model that used the larger tanks for about the same money. I have to exchange these more often and I don’t see any difference in the quality of the seltzer with the newer Terra model. I love that I can use the same bottles over again and I don’t add to the polution of the planet.
My Terra will be here Friday and I can't wait to finally try sodastream! Do people prefer the slim or regular bottles? I want to buy some spares and wonder if there are any pros and cons to those.I can't find the new slim dishwasher safe ones yet. Only slim handwash Thanks.
I got mine from the kids for Christmas and wish i'd watched your video BEFORE i tried experimenting. I added some cranberry juice to my filtered water before carbonating (3 pumps on the Terra). It seemed to work fine until I disconnected the bottle and sprayed carbonated cranberry water all over my kitchen. Seriously, it went everywhere, including ceiling, cabinets, behind the stove, across the countertop and into the drawers, then on the floor. Add your juice AFTER carbonating.
They mention it several times in the manual and in the flavour bottles labels...
But thanks to you, now I know why they are so insistent on that
Maybe read the manual before doing dumb shit in the future. It mentions NOT TO ADD ANYTHING. 🤦🏻♀️
Good to know!!!
One note is to make sure and pick up the refill tanks with the PINK labeling or it won't be compatible with the TERRA.
Also, I've had mine for a few days now and the bottles lock into place sort of loosely. Is that normal? It seems like some CO2 is being wasted by leaking out the sides with every pump.
My terra machine has a black lever where the. CO2 canister goes, I presume it's the same and putting the canister is the same? Also, does it matter 😲 what way round the little opening on the canister is inserted into the terra machine?
Great review,thankyou!
This unit is so easy to use and your explanation is really helpful. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for your description and also your video I had tried my SodaStream several times and it exploded each time so it required me actually seeing you pull the lever back further and putting that in place in order for me to no longer have that issue thank you so much again
lol funny
This device is fantastic. So far, It is clearly so simple and reasonable to use. Very economical. Very practical if you like making your own various home flavored seltzer beverages both soft and adult types. Have not had to exchange CO2 cartridge yet we will see how that goes when it runs out.
How did that C02 exchange go?
I've been wanting to buy one for a few years but never got around to it. My son gave me this for Christmas and I was ecstatic! So easy to use and works great!
Good son.
How is yours holding up? Anything I should know?
Where can i buy this ,i've been wanting to buy that and i can't find one here in HK.
Has anyone used ebt to buy co2 canister at amazon or instore?
Great review, very thorough! Thx
This machine is so easy to use but if I add a little more than half the measuring cap of soda flavor it is way too strong. The directions however say to use a whole measuring cap full. Am I doing something wrong?
Just got my Terra yesterday and I am loving it so far! It’s so easy to use and so fun to try new flavors.
Anyone else noticing a weird taste when filling the first couple bottles?
@@WaelKdouh how are you verified
@@shotz00 money
I just used mine for the first time. Easy set up etc but water flowed from the top when pressing fizz button.
If you refill your CO2 cannisters at home, the Terra is a BUST. No adapters are currently available for new quick-attach CO2 fitting. Better to go with the FIZZI, which uses the ubiquitous screw-on CO2 canisters, and also has the quick-attach system for the water bottles - best of all possible worlds.
The new quick attach CO2 bottles smell like a Sodastream cash grab. No real reason for it, other than trying to lock out home CO2 refillers and ensure a a continuing, bloated revenue stream from GROSSLY overpriced refills; they charge ~$15 for an exchange; 1 pound of bulk CO2 costs about $0.30.
I was about to ask if this version will work with the Co2 hack. Thank you!
In love!!! We enjoy sparkling water and I love to play with new toys.
I use to spend alot of money on sparkling water, until someone told me about soda stream...wow
Thank you so much!!👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks a bunch! I received this as a give and it didn’t come with a user guide. 🤪 You saved me some brain cells!
got mi ne today...just made my first bottle...love it
Wonderful and through review!
Sorry if I missed it, but based on 3 pushes of the carbonation button on top to fill one bottle, how many bottles should I be able to get from each carbonation tube in the back?
Thanks again
He mentioned 60 liters.
@@meanqkie2240 Yes he mentioned 60 liters but did not specify per pushes ratio. I may be wrong? Anyway I've just ordered mine from FBA Discounts online in the UK for £70. Although it only comes with one drinks bottle instead of two. I hope your right about the 60 liters.
@@TommyTimebomb100 since the directions that come with the unit say “up to” 60L, I assumed that’s at three pushes per liter, The upper end of the final volume at the lower end of the dispensing range. One video I watched mentioned they get closer to 50L. I hope you enjoy yours! I bought mine at a thrift store looking like it was never used! Going to try it tonight on my own chilled filtered water.
Very cool I might switch to this when I get paid getting sick and tired of having to buy zero soda's every other 2-3 weeks each month. Ugh
Prior models make a distinct noise when the canister is full enough and does not make the noise when you the canister needs replacement. Is there a good way to tell if it needs replacement?
I read you can tell if your drink isn't fizzy enough.
Though this was a two year old, UA-cam video, my husband and I literally used it in front of the soda stream product at Best Buy and it answered all our questions. Good job.
Haha great! Thanks 🍻
ADAPTER TO BIG TANK YOU CAN REFILL AT AIRGAS STORE
Can you please elaborate? I'm about to get this as a gift and prefer to make life easier. Thank you.
How long does the 1L of sparkling water last before it gets flat? Or is it a similar timeframe to like a 2L pop bottle?
About 2-3 days in fridge. That is with a three shot of Co2...you can do 2 shots of Co2 per bottle and that may be lighter on the carbonation level. We do 3. Hope that helps.
@@RWorr A shot of CO2? What's that?
@@amazonjunglez1188 Each press of the button at the top (shot) adds co2 to the water. The more shots the bubblier.
What I do with this (I’m crazy) is I do six or seven pumps and it does fine. It is soda-like carbonation that you can’t get anywhere else but fountain machines and soda stream machines.
Cool channel man, it's just a tip but your UA-cam name is quite misleading and if you want to reach more adult audiences you might want to rename it to specify your a tech channel.
Apart from that great video...
I remember my family having a SodaStream when I was a kid & loved it. So I recently decided to buy one whilst they were on special. I got the red one cause that's my favourite colour. 😅
I have the soda stream, I'm currently looking for soda recipes.
Could not hear sound level clearly. Would have been nice to hear it too.
Just bought the Terra for my parents for the holidays. Following the instructions to a T, we still cannot get the unit to carbonate, even with chilled water. Unless we're doing something so dumb and obvious, maybe we got a bad unit? The tank is definitely getting use as it's quite cold to the touch, but bubbles just ain't there.
Try to press longer than 1 sec - after 3-4 seconds you'll hear the pressure release mechanism working, let go when hearing it.
After using it wrong for a while, I just realized you need the water level just under the nozzle. Make sure the nozzle isn't submerged at all. Came out perfectly once I did that.
Bubbly cola Dr Pepper the energy one is the best also the e~terra is there newest model but you have to plug it in my opinion is the non electric one is better
It doesn't carbonate your drink as much as you think........I've injected it for almost 10sec and it just barely bubbles mine.
I'm a complete idiot. I removed the plastic wrap from the candidates but didn't remove the cap when installing. I was surprised how hard it was to close the lever, but figured with pressurized items, you might need some elbow grease. It popped hard and then I realized I did something wrong. Now I'm worried to remove the canister in case something is damaged and it blows up. Suggestions? Did I break the sodastream? Any explosion worries? I can't believe how dumb I am....
Not really your fault. Look at the comments on any soda stream vid. Everyone is saying the instructions are poor & that's why they came to watch a vid on YT - ME TOO! I believe you shoukd explain this to them. You have a waranty, also. Good luck & don't be hard in yourself.
Yeah I messed up too
How many drinks can you make with the CO2 canister
It can make up to 60litres, depending on how fizzy you make it. So since most bottles are 1litre, you can make up to 60 bottles worth. Some bottles are 500ml though, which is a great alternative if you live alone like me, so you could make up to 120 bottles worth with that size.
Vs Drinkmate?
Very nice clear review. Only point I might take exception with is dropping the lime into the beverage. Citrus fruits tend to have high levels of pesticides... so a cleaning to remove that or not putting the rind into the beverage is recommended.
I buy organic lemon, then scrub with a stiff brush and baking soda. I eat the rind and all after it has flavored my drinks.
$100? I just bought mine at Lidl for $69.
You did not mention other than water fizzing...
wine = 200ml in 500ml bottle (not to the water fill line!)
vodka, tequila, etc = 200ml in 500ml bottle. :)
good video
I tried 3 presses and it was completely flat. Just fizz on top.
Try pressing longer than 1 sec - after 3-4 seconds you'll hear the pressure release mechanism working, let go when hearing it.
Don’t buy this model. Uses a new tank that prevents you from refilling it or using competitive tanks.
So essentially I would be paying 50 more dollars for a device that is snap to fit rather than screw to fit Port Carbon can and my bottles of fizzy water
What about the taste? No one seems to talk about that. 🙂
I tried raspberry flavour by SodaKing (there's no rule stating you cannot use other companies' flavours) & it tasted like Golden Circle's raspberry cordial to me.
As a review this is very poor. It's more of a quick use guide with very little depth.
This is not really very money efficient where i come from you can get good tasting carbonated water for 19 cents for 1.5L.
And with the mashine costing 100dollars and the CO2 bottle costing 25 dollars each it's hard to justify it.
And not only that most of the carbonated waters in my area are self carbonated spring water which also contain a lot of minerals which weren't added.
And the problem with using water out of your faucet is that it has no minerals and in some cases is even dirtier than we could imagine depending on where you live in the world.
That's additional cost again if you were to install an additional filter into your faucet/water supply.
The only case you could make for it is the convenience of not buying and transporting the water and making it quick and easy at home, but in my opinion the cons greatly outweigh the pros but that may very from person to person
Thats what i was thinking 😂
Guess it depends on the area. Where I live it's expensive to get what we call club soda. It's plain carbonated water. And the bottle is so small and costs 20rs (In American currency it's around 2$ I think. And it's less than a 400ml bottle). As such this would be great for where I live. We don't have spring water or anything. We mostly have water filters like Aquasure for safe drinking water. But yes I agree the CO2 bottles are damn expensive. But food-grade dry ice is super cheap and I have seen YT vids of ppl filling the CO2 containers with dry ice. But honestly, the equipment is 100$ And most ppl in India can't afford it for freaking soda. We don't have a big soda culture either. We mostly just drink regular water. Cause we have a rice culture and roti culture (Roti is made from whole wheat which is healthy unlike AP flour) unlike bread, which mostly requires soda to digest faster.
Just sprays everywhere.
You're probably not putting the bottle in correctly.
It sucks mines not even carbonated. It just taste like it has co2
Second !
