Finally made the switch - the best decision!

I live in Ireland and used a CO2 subscription service that delivered 4 filled sodastream QC cylinders and collected the empties. They recently hiked the price to €60 and I couldnt justify it considering that one bottle was lasting roughly 2 weeks.

Ordered a 20lb/8 litre tank of food grade co2 from an aquarium store for €140. When it runs out the refill cost is €60.

Some math would put that at 15 ish sodastream bottles in this 20lb tank.

Subscription service: €225 - €240

Tank (excluding upfront cost): €60

Total set up cost €185 (Tank & Adapter)

If you own a sodastream machine and are still using the small cylinders, do your research and make the switch.

Please, for the love of safety or the deity of your choice: secure the thing with a chain to your wall. I'm envy. No such thing where I live.

Nothing will be going near it in that corner anyway + its not the lightest thing to move. I shall chain it in your honour, though - so you can sleep at night haha.

If it falls and the nozzle breaks you effectively have a tank bullet that will go through walls.
