In the late 1970s my parents bought themselves a SodaStream, which they absolutely loved. They used it to make carbonated drinks with various flavours by adding concentrated syrups, and also to make mixers for their gin. They exulted in its ease of use and alleged money saving. The juddering sound of escaping carbon dioxide as the SodaStream’s process completed was part of the sound track of my teenage years.
Little did I know that James felt nostalgic for a similar but even more retro device - the Soda Syphon. This elegant bottle works in a similar way, with small carbon dioxide capsules, and you can’t add syrups to it during the process; only after you have produced the sparkling water. James ordered a vintage crimson coloured soda syphon from eBay a few days ago and I have to admit that it is very aesthetically pleasing. We have used it quite a lot already and I have designed my own passion fruit and lime drink using the carbonated water. Great fun!
