Main question I have is does their diet coke taste like real diet coke?
Other than that how do you like the quality of the other drinks?
Does the soda stay carbonated over a couple of days?

I use it for seltzer, drink maybe 2 - 3 liters a day.

I wouldn't buy it if you're expecting to make your favorite beverage cheaply.

It's ok.  I hate the deposit fees here, so that is the main thing I like about it.  Taste is a bit off.  Never seems carbonated enought, even if I add extra.  Just vents off.

-No, none of  their 'like Coke" products are even close. To me the taste is closer to RC Cola. You can buy Coke products in bagged concentrate and use that.

-Their Diet Ginger Ale, Pink Grapefruit  and Diet Raspberry/Cranberry are very, very good.

Does the soda stay carbonated over a couple of days?
-Yes, roughly a week but at a liter at a time you won't be wasting anything

Now, they're coming out with Stevia based 'natural' flavors which has been "coming soon" for months. I haven't tried their "natural" formulas with Can Sugar but as I understand they're the most popular line.

Go to SAMs Club and buy a box of coke, DP, Pepsi etc..... And it works great. Adjust syrup as needed to make it right. Mine works good

Good article.  I would not mind experimenting like that.

I think I might be able to save a little money by not wasting soda. The wife will rarely drink more than half a can.  We've tried 2L bottles but don't drink it fast enough and it goes flat.

Debaser: Which unit do you have? I saw a new model at Costco that has 3 levels of carbonation.
