I would say it depends on where you are, as some brands are not available in every country. IMO start backwards and find out which places near you offer canister refills or generic exchanges, and pick a compatible make. There’s also adapters that will let you plug in generic CO2 tanks into soda makers. Again, find local distributors of clean CO2, and you’ll have bigger refills for a fraction of the cost.
Cold tapwater + sodastream. You can filter your tapwater if needed in your area.
Replace Sodastream with a company that has less genocidal relations.

DrinkMate are the main alternative.

I use a Drink Mate omnifiz. Used the same co2 carts as the soda steam.
Do they let you use other/regular CO2 cartridges, or are they locked into the special ones but the SodaStreams are?
