For now I just got a peach flavor thing and their faux Dr. Pepper mix, which I'll try in a bit. Curious to see how it tastes.
I was looking into it and apparently since Pepsi owns them now they did a limited international release of Pepsi flavors as sodastream mixes but they decided not to sell them here because the flavor profile sucked, since they couldn't saturate the flavor mix with enough sugar lol

The fizz settings are BS. Anything less than full saturation is like drinking flat soda. The challenge is to get as much CO2 dissolved as possible. This is achieved by
- Getting the water as close to freezing as possible
- Purging all air from the bottle so only CO2 remains
I fill the bottle a third with ice cubes. Then I add the water. Most of the ice is dissolved by the time it's carbonated.
