    Thank you for this! Once you get to the popup window, you can drag the subscription option straight to the homepage. So long little annoyance that I've lived with for too long!

    I have an Aarke on my wishlist to upgrade to! I do think that my year+ Sodastream's days are numbered as it's mostly made of plastic. I was thinking of the Aarke Carbonator 3 as I really want that pull handle and the solid build, which did you go with? I also got a 5lb but ran into issues with using it with my Sodastream (probably the cheap adapter) it sounds like you actually refill the Sodastream canisters from the big one, how is that process for you?

    Yup, I bought one a little over a year ago and have used it daily. I'm sure one could argue the pros/cons of drinking soda (or in my case, diet soda) all day, but it is what it is, and I drink a lot of carbonated beverages. It is so nice to be able to stock up on the syrups instead of lugging another 12pk or a couple 2-liters from the store every week.
    I did set up a 5lb co2 container with an adapter, but found it tended to freeze up/leak causing more headache than it was worth. I will definitely be getting a new adapter in the future and try my luck again, but for now I went back to the canister exchange program which just works.
    It also adds a bit of fun to the process! You get to be a soda jerk. You can make it with more/less syrup, try out flavor combinations, etc. The little "drops" bottles to flavor sparkling water are potent so start small if you end up going this route, otherwise the regular flavorings are pretty forgiving.
