Would be cool if they could branch out to other countries. Here in Germany the predominantly brand is sadly Sodastream.
Their site exists in German... And they do sell their products in Germany. Somewhere.They do say that you can get new CO2 cylinders "in shops" and that you can use CO2 cylinders of several marks, not just their own, but that's a bit ridiculously lacking level of information still. I did just write them an email asking (telling...) them to increase their accessibility by telling where the hell their products can be bought. But anyway, they seem to want only 7 โฌ of postage to Germany on their online shop?!
You just need to ask in some big shop around if they would have a system for changing CO2 available. The MySoda site hints in a semi-unclear manner that that should be a relatively common service in Germany. I'd venture to ask at least at the closest Kaufland and Karstadt for what they have for offer.
They do tell here that you can use CO2 cylinders of "most marks", and mention Aarke, Sodapop and Aga as examples.
Supermarkets with soda exchange are (from the top of my head and without heaving a sodamachine): Netto (red), Rewe, Edeka, Kaufland, tegut
MySoda answered my email and told the following shops: Marktkauf, Kaufland, Rossmann, DM, Lidl. And they mentioned www.sodataste.comย and www.sodalivery.com as further online sources for CO2.
Then, they also mentioned CO2 cylinders by Wassermaxx and Aldi being compatible (beside "basically all cylinders", with practically the only exception being that most Sodastream cylinders are incompatible), and from the existence of Aldi cylinders I'll venture to make a guess that Aldi has them as well ๐คช And since we've now covered Lidl, Red Netto and Aldi, I'd be surprised if Penny Markt didn't have the same as well. The dog Netto usually has nothing anyway, so probably not this service either?
Anyway, doesn't seem to be an insurmountable problem in Germany at all!
Penny would only have them if Rewe has them, they belong to the same company
Any idea of which are made by companies opposing genocides and which by the company that actively participates in a genocide?
And you can order cylinders in Germany via http://sodabaer.de/
