hey what's up ladies and gentlemen this
0:01
is David Benjamin from Rockstar reviews
0:03
today I'm going to be reviewing the soda
0:04
stream and sharing with you how to use
0:06
it how to ensure you don't have any
0:07
issues or spills like I have had in the
0:09
past and how to utilize it to make the
0:12
best tasting carbonated beverages
0:15
essentially making your own soda or
0:17
carbonated beverages at home so first
0:19
thing you need to know is the nice thing
0:20
about this unit the soda stream is
0:22
Wireless there's no electrical
0:23
components you can pick it up you can
0:25
put it anywhere it's portable basement
0:27
uh you know Game Room whatever kitchen
0:30
uh the back compartment here this pops
0:33
off trying to remember how that's done
0:38
there we go the top and this is the CO2
0:42
tank in the back it's a massive CO2 tank
0:44
and you can actually refill this at
0:45
Target believe it or not so uh that CO2
0:48
is what's giving you the carbonation in
0:49
your water so that's why there's no
0:51
electrical components literally
0:52
literally the pressure from the carbon
0:55
dioxide uh container in the back so you
0:57
just put that top back on push it down
0:59
then pop it in on the top and so what
1:01
you want to do is you're going to fill
1:03
up the bottle that they give you there's
1:04
actually a fill line on that bottle I
1:06
don't know if you can see that in the
1:07
video but you know the bottle that you
1:09
get you'll see there's a fill line so
1:10
you don't want to go above that fill
1:11
line because you will spill your uh
1:14
water Over the Top If you do so you open
1:16
that up and what you do is this thing
1:19
right here pops open okay and this is
1:21
very important uh to get the best
1:23
carbonation and to not spill so this
1:25
pops open one two times once that pops
1:28
open you take this and you put it in
1:31
there and you push it you push it up
1:34
slightly okay so watch so you push up to
1:36
the point where it's literally holding
1:38
itself and I can put my hand under here
1:41
and it's locked in once it's locked in
1:43
whoops see even touching it a little bit
1:45
it'll fall off and that's the one
1:46
downside about this unit it's a little
1:47
bit finicky to get it in sometimes see
1:49
what I mean so you push it in you close
1:52
it once it's closed it should be hanging
1:55
there will be room underneath this
1:56
bottle and it that's the one downside I
1:58
say is it's a little bit finicking that
1:59
way but then what you want to do is you
2:01
push the button at the top you can push
2:03
it three to five times and three times
2:06
is going to be less carbonation four
2:07
five times it's going to be more
2:08
carbonation obviously so if you want
2:10
more fizzy five times less fizzy three
2:12
even two times depending on what you
2:14
like and the trick is when you push this
2:16
button at the top you want to ensure
2:19
that you hear a almost like whistling
2:21
sound at the end and that's when you let
2:23
go of the button and you let the Fizz or
2:25
the carbonation settle and then you push
2:27
it again so I'll show you as an example
2:32
did you hear that S at the end and you
2:39
settle did you hear that how it changes
2:41
at the end so you do that three to five
2:43
times and then you pull it out it's the
2:45
same thing you pull it out you'll
2:47
actually hear that carbonation and you
2:49
pop it out and you have your carbonated
2:51
water now you can take this and do with
2:53
it what you want I personally like
2:56
adding like a citrus fruit so uh lemons
2:59
limes pouring this in a cup adding the
3:02
lime or lemon in there squeezing in
3:04
there mixing it up and then uh there's a
3:07
I personally use in like Stevia now this
3:10
is a specific Stevia it's not that
3:12
powdered packet cheap Stevia you get to
3:14
store this is much higher quality it's a
3:18
Stevia along with Organic glycerin it's
3:21
a flax space glycerin so it's very
3:23
healthy this Stevia in particular is the
3:25
healthiest Stevia I found it doesn't
3:26
change your blood sugar levels at all it
3:28
doesn't change your glycemic index so if
3:30
you're looking for a healthy soda or a
3:32
healthy fizzy drink option these are
3:34
your best bet so they have a plain
3:35
flavor so if you're doing citrus fruits
3:37
I would just recommend plain as a
3:38
sweetener with the citrus fruits they
3:40
have a vanilla flavor so if you want to
3:42
do something with vanilla like a creamy
3:44
whatever fizzy whatever vanilla is
3:46
amazing and then they have a
3:48
butterscotch and then they have a sweet
3:49
Blossom one I don't have that one here
3:52
but uh you literally use one two maybe
3:54
three drops of this in your beverage
3:55
tops and this bottle is going to last
3:58
you months and you're going to have have
4:00
the best tasting uh different flavored
4:02
soda you can like I said butterscotch
4:04
vanilla plain sweet Blossom is the flour
4:07
I believe from the orange tree don't
4:08
quote me on that but it's a sweet sort
4:10
of floral flavor but if you have the
4:13
carbonated beverage with the as the base
4:16
the lime lemon or lime as the sort of
4:18
citrus element and then you can sweeten
4:21
it in different ways I mean you can
4:22
literally just mix the carbonate water
4:23
with vanilla Stevia and you have like a
4:24
vanilla soda or a butterscotch soda or
4:28
the sweet Blossom soda or plain sweet
4:30
you know soda or you can add the citrus
4:32
fruit and do that as well so there's
4:33
different ways of going about it uh but
4:35
the soda stream is amazing the things I
4:37
would recommend here are you know you
4:39
can sweeten it in if raise these are the
4:40
best sweeteners I found these Stevia so
4:42
I'll put a link to them below with a
4:44
discount code it's uh 10% off actually
4:46
the code is healthy Wild free and then
4:48
additionally uh I have a link uh that I
4:51
got from Soda Stream and I think you get
4:53
like 20% off the soda stream so I'll put
4:55
that in description below uh that's just
4:57
a benefit for you uh but the the Stevia
5:00
I highly recommend because it's the
5:02
healthiest way to not increase your
5:04
blood sugar levels yet still have a
5:05
sweet tasting drink so if you're trying
5:07
to get over soda or you know pop as we
5:09
call it in Michigan uh you you
5:11
definitely want to get something like
5:12
that and then Additionally the water
5:14
that you put into it matters I would
5:15
recommend purified reverse osmosis or
5:18
distilled water so if you're looking to
5:19
have a higher quality healthier water
5:22
oddly enough this company that makes the
5:23
stevia uh they also have a really
5:27
multiple really great water filters uh
5:29
for your home so you have cleaner water
5:30
so you want to have a clean water I
5:31
wouldn't recommend tap water um I would
5:34
recommend purified reverse osmosis or
5:36
distilled so that's the soda stream
5:37
