I have a nice simple system. I store tap water in a plastic 2 litre bottle in the fridge. When we run low on sparkling water I connect a CO2 tank, through a regulator, at 30psi, to the plastic bottle and shake it for 60 seconds. I then decant it into two glass Gerosteiner bottles. This works fine. But it seems like we always run out when I’m in a hurry, or my shoulder hurts, or I’m tired, or some other lame excuse. We drink a lot of sparkling water so I have to make it almost daily. I just can’t help but wonder how SodaStream makes sparkling water without shaking. Is there some special adapter or cap that somehow injects the CO2 in a way that carbonates more efficiently? Is there some way to replicate that in my system? Thoughts?
