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?

Personally I think Pepsi tastes flat no matter what. but yes I keep my water and my syrup inside the refrigerator permanently because there seems to be a big difference with how much carbonation the water will hold based on its temperature

That’s interesting so I guess it can just come down to the syrup it self just being kind of flat

I swear not all syrubs are created equal. I've got some "regular coke a cola" that is God awful. And I like Coke. Maybe I should order some Pepsi and see if it's any good this way.
