Commercial soda contains a lot of sugar, which we could all do without, and phosphoric acid which can affect the kidneys. I've ordered a seltzer water device and plan to make plenty of flavored soda (with the help of frozen juices) I can feel good about drinking and giving to the kids.

I can't find one that is small enough for the bottle openings. Help! Love my Penguin! Can anyone find a bottle brush that fits the bottles provided with the Penguin water carbonator?

So I just use FizzGiz caps (www.FizzGiz.com) and a handheld co2 dispenser. I don't have to buy proprietary bottles or order co2 refills. I just get food grade co2 cartridges and use 'em when I need 'em. Wow, just noticed the OP is more than a year old. Well, the soda stream is kind-a-pricey.

I now make soda for 2 cents a liter. All it takes is 5 parts and you're off and running. If you buy them off ebay you can get going for less than $100 bucks! (And that will fill your bottles for over a year!)
