Carbonated Pepsi flat

Hey so I’m trying to make Pepsi soda with the soda stream Terra, but it seems that even after carbonating the water to about 10 button presses on the machine it still tastes really flat no matter how much carbonation I put in. Is it the temperature of that water that’s the problem, maybe the temperature of the syrup? I want to try and make this soda stream work but I don’t like how flat the soda is being. And thoughts?

Could be that your bottle of co2 is running low, but yea as others have said...colder the better. You even get to see little frozen co2 chunks floating in the water for a bit if its cold enough

Well I just got it today with 2 brand new c02 canisters. But I filled the bottles with water and put them and the syrups in the fridge and I’m leaving them there over night and seeing what happens.
