This web-based calculator helps you determine how many 800ml bottles of soda you need to make with a SodaStream before it becomes more cost-effective than buying bottled soda. The calculator takes into account the cost of the SodaStream machine, CO2 cartridges, syrup mix (sold per 9 liters), and compares it with the cost of buying soda per liter.
- User Inputs: Enter the costs of the SodaStream machine, CO2 cartridges, syrup mix, and the price of bottled soda per liter.
- Instant Calculation: Calculates and displays the number of 800ml bottles you need to make for the SodaStream to be more cost-effective.
- Interactive Web Interface: Easy-to-use web form for inputting your data.
- Visit the calculator hosted on GitHub Pages: SodaStream Break-Even Calculator
- Fill in the following details:
- Cost of the SodaStream machine
