SodaStream MyWater Flavor Essence, 3 Pack - Raspberry (1.35 fl. oz.)

JAN 2018 UPDATE: This 3-pack is no longer available (or certainly is not easy to find), but individual bottles can be purchased through Sodastream or Target. (For some reason, the individual bottles are currently very expensive on Amazon.) They are called fruit drops.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My husband and I are both trying to cut back significantly on diet pop because of the artificial sweetener and other chemicals (and do not want the sugar/calories of regular soda). We tried coffee, tea and tap water, but were disappointed. I especially missed the carbonation of the diet soda. I then found a naturally flavored sparkling water I liked at my local grocery store, but the store is often out of stock. (It did take some adjustment to the less subtle flavor of these naturally flavored drinks compared to those that are artificially sweetened.) Eventually, we discovered the SodaStream Fizzi Sparkling Water Maker and have been very pleased with it. (I still allow myself one diet pop a day; just can’t completely give it up!) With this sparkling water maker, you can make the water to your exact liking. You can control the amount of flavoring (barely there to very strong), as well as the amount of carbonation (few bubbles to extremely carbonated).This SodaStream MyWater variety pack consists of 3 unsweetened flavors: orange, raspberry, and lemon-lime. The flavors are subtle. It is suggested to add one-half teaspoon per liter of water (but I add more than that). If you make the water based on the instructions, this 3-pack will make 20 liters of flavored water. You can also combine the flavors if you like.The price of this 3-pack varies greatly at different stores and websites. The cheapest I have found this 3-pack is when it is available as an add-on item through Amazon, which is not always the case.We have been quite pleased with these SodaStream MyWater flavorings for our sparkling water maker. Would recommend.

I'm pretty in-line with most of the other reviewers: these are worth buying once. Everyone has different taste-buds so I think it is worth you trying them out. I personally like them enough to use them all but I likely won't buy again.Pros-I'm obsessed with flavored carbonated water so when I bought my SodaStream to cut my La Croix habit I knew I needed to add flavoring. Each flavor does taste a little different but it isn't compellingly different. I, at first, tried each individually and now I mix two or all three together. They come in glass bottles which is nice opposed to the plastic norm.Cons-The flavors are not horrible but they are a tad-boring-they lack the "WOW!" factor I got with La Croix. SodaStream needs to venture out and offer more than three flavors for their non-soda line. There really isn't a mess-free way to get the flavor from its bottle to yours. I usually get sticky fingers or the bottle gets sticky from a little of it running down the lip after being pored--I see other people have bought droppers to try and cure this. The bottles are pretty small so I assume they're going to last me less than a month. I'm a week in and it's about 3/4 full. I see others buy extracts straight from the grocery isle so that might be my next buy.

These are okay. I'm kind of just glad there are seltzer flavors out there, but they don't taste as good as I expected (they are sort of 'flat'), and are a little messy to use. I have to keep them in the fridge, I have to keep a little 1/8 measuring spoon by them and rinse the spoon after each use (it is sticky)...and the entire little boxed operation isn't cheap.I'm actively looking for better ways to flavor my seltzer so I won't have to use this kit again.It's okay for a starter set to get going with your new Soda Stream, and that's the best I can say about it. I like the raspberry flavor best, mixed 1/8 teaspoon with 1/8 teaspoon lime.I've found a lot of things around the house that also work, like vanilla, lime juice squeezers (or lemon), a tiny bit of any juice of any kind, a tiny bit of any liquor...the key is using a small amount of something so that you get an 'essence', rather than a flavor.In any case, three stars for just getting this for the FIRST time with your Soda Stream/seltzer-maker. After that, you should be able to make your own seltzers with 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon of any other juice, mint, lemonade, cream soda, amaretto, vanilla, Tang, tea, whatever.

Let me preface this by stating my bias: I do not care for the taste of straight seltzer water or plain (bottled/tap) water for that matter. I have tried many things over the years to reduce the intake of sugars and artificial additives in my beverage choices before finally settling on Dasani flavored water (while not perfect, it does keep the additives to a minimum). I had hoped I could reproduce similar results with MyWater by making seltzer water more palatable. Alas, the flavors are easily overpowered by the harsh bite of the carbonic acid (the end product of CO2 being dissolved in water), producing something that tastes like a fountain drink when the syrup is just about out. I'm sure most of you have experienced this with Sprite at some point in time.I suppose this is my fault for having high expectations, but I do not plan to buy this again. I would recommend anyone to trust their tastes and carefully consider my fountain drink analogy before purchasing this. While I think light flavoring works well for non-carbonated water, the same cannot be said for the carbonated counterpart. Also, I am a bit baffled by the short shelf life of the product. I would give it two stars due to my dissatisfaction, but I gave it three to offset my extreme bias.

First of all, the negative reviews on this product suggest the reviewers don't understand the product. It is not supposed to be sweet and it doesn't taste sweet - it's for people who want to create sparkling water with natural fruit flavors, and ZERO SUGAR, at home (like "La Croix"). For example, the lemon flavor makes water taste like it's got lemon slices in it - not like lemonade or actual soda. It small because it is HIGHLY concentrated and a little goes a long way as it is MUCH more syrupy than the larger bottles of flavors. For a single drink you'd use a single drop and for a liter of Soda Stream you'd use several drops (we're figuring it out to-taste still). I think they designed them like this (small and concentrated) because you could travel with this (in a purse or pocket) and flavor your waters on the go. We actually REALLY LIKE the size because they take up so little room.We actually are quite happy with our purchase and simply wish there were more flavors.

Selon les ingrédients : arôme naturel seulement.Par contre c'est un sirop épais qui a un goût bizarre. J'ai écris à la compagnie Sodastream pour avoir la liste des ingrédients. Ils m'ont répondu que c'était que c'était un secret industriel. Alors les bouteilles se sont retrouvées à la poubelle, ne sachant pas ce que je mettais dans mon corps.

Doesn't give much flavour which is good for sparkling water, 10/10 I would say. Makes your soda stream plain water taste like the flavoured perrier, I like mixing the flavors as well. And they last a long time as you dont need much

I was looking for a replacement for bubly this was perfect. I like that there is nothing but flavor, no calories, sugar or sweetener. I add maybe a little more than other people I use a 1/2 teaspoon per liter to give enough flavor but the little bottles still last quite awhile. I quite like them and will order again.

The flavours are slightly different than what was advertised. Normally I wouldn’t care too much but I specifically ordered it because I prefer lime. Also there’s no return or help option.
