After several months of less than satisfactory 'fizz' from our Gemini
drinks maker and a few attempts at fixing it, I've finally worked out what
was wrong. The central spike that injects CO2 into the water had come a
little loose. Not enough to notice, but enough to let gas escape and
preventing it from getting enough pressure to dissolve in the water.
Tightened it up and it now fizzes and farts properly.

It's worth documenting!

Ahhhh the sodastream was a fantastic toy. I never tired of putting the
concentrate into the bottle before fizzing, then handing it to a relative to
"fizz". Oh how I laughed every time when fizzy sticky crap came firing out
of all possible exists on the sodastream container....

We got one of the very first Sodastreams free, because my dad worked for
Kenwood. Quite a novelty down our way!

Anyone remember the much earlier Sparklets syphons?

I think I have two up in the loft

I remember the even older wire reinforced glass ones which my
grandparents used to have - factory refilled IIRC and you exchanged the
full for the empty
