I have been a diehard fan of SodaStream for years and decided to make the switch after hearing some rave reviews from my friends. Having used the Drinkmate for a while now, I am convinced that it it indeed a better product than its’ competitor. With the way the mechanism works, I have no fear that gas is leaking and being wasted. Being able to fizz my teas straight off makes a better and more concentrated drink, which I absolutely love! It also really helps that I am achieving so much long term savings when I can exchange my cylinders at a much cheaper rate now. There’s no looking back for me, it’s Drinkmate from now on.
