America's Hottest Brands 2011: SodaStream Pops Up in a Big Way
"In the past year, SodaStream has hit the shelves in a big way: It went from 2,500 stores in the fourth quarter of 2010 to nearly 9,500 today. That sort of growth is nothing short of explosive for any brand, but especially for one that until a few years ago had awareness levels in America of, well, zilch."

DIY Carbonation: The Fizz Biz Lifts Off
"Even SodaStream itself is just an update of a product that’s been around for years. The company’s roots go back to 1903, when Guy Gilbey (a surname familiar to gin drinkers) invented the first home carbonation machine, in the United Kingdom. A smaller version of the machine was popular in Europe and elsewhere for decades, but it wasn’t until 2009, after a global brand revamping, that the product became widely available in the United States."
The Washington Post
Flavor base + bubbles = easy homemade soda
"Andrew Schloss, author of the recently published “Homemade Soda,” credits SodaStream with making the process easier for the amateur. The company, which had a heyday in the United Kingdom in the 1970s and ’80s, is enjoying another one in North America, where sales of its home-carbonation machines have almost tripled in the past year."

Get Busy With the Fizzy

"Dad can make his own soda with this handy gadget, which basically carbonates water that you can flavor with bottles of syrup. The whole back of the Fizz is a CO2 tank, giving you a whole bunch of bottles of pop on one recharge. I really liked the soda flavors that you can buy, a couple of the exotic flavors were challenging but for the most part they were tasty and accessible."
