It had been several years since I had tested or used a SodaStream for various reasons. But mostly I found the design too banal, and eventually everyone had one that was collecting dust and that people hid in the back of their kitchen (behind the toaster or flowerpot). The SodaStream Art series allows you to bring the machine back and reappear on the table! It's much nicer, classier, more attractive and that's before it's even opened! Frankly I was amazed! The bottle and gas refill insertion is much better than the old system! Great!!! I wanted to know what are your best "blends" or syrups for Sodastream? I've tested the official citrus syrup I found - but I didn't like the lemonades (Coke and SevenUp) much though. Any ideas or suggestions for blends?
