Sodastream Enso carbonation strength and retention?
Hi!
I need a replacement for my defective mySoda Ruby 2 (CO2 escaping through button-hole - defective seal?). My Woody died with exactly the same symptoms, so I want to take a different brand.
I like the looks of the Smeg Soda Maker, but ergonomics sound mediocre, and ~30€ for an additional water bottle is a bit much.
The Breville (Sage) InFizz Fusion looks cool, and I like the option to fizz up other liquids than just water. Realistically, I doubt I'd be doing that often though. And then you're left with an extra step, having to detach that cap every single time. Plus, I wish the bottles were dishwasher safe.
So I'm considering the SodaStream Enso. I'd have to swap my cylinders, and infuriatingly they are ~20¢ more expensive per exchange than the classic blue ones, but the ergonomics of attaching both CO2 cylinders and water bottles look sweet.
Now I wonder two things:
Can the Enso carbonate water really strongly?
How well does carbonated water retain the fizz when stored in the fridge? Strangely, this seems somewhat device-dependent.
