🥤 Homemade Soda

Fizz it yourself,
ditch the case of cans.

A home carbonator turns tap water into soda for pennies a glass. See how fast it pays for itself against your can or bottle habit.

1 Your soda habit

How many cans or glasses a day or week? Tap Edit prices to match what you pay.

2 Fine-tune upkeep

Upkeep only — your CO₂ is already counted per glass above, so it is not repeated here.

Total ongoing upkeep $0/mo

Counted against your at-home cost for the whole projection.

3 CO₂ carbonation

One cylinder carbonates dozens of glasses. Pick a refill option or enter a cylinder price and how many glasses it fizzes.

4 Flavor syrup

Only your flavored sodas use syrup — sparkling water skips it. Pick a source or enter your own.

5 Pick your soda maker

From a basic carbonator to a premium stainless model — this sets the upfront cost.
