My biggest addiction (aside from coffee, of course...) is sparkling water. As soon as spring starts, a Sicilian lemon seltzer from my local corner store becomes my afternoon treat – it's refreshing, uplifting, and perfect for warm days, whether I’m working at my desk or unwinding outdoors.
And yet, despite this devotion, I never quite warmed to the idea of a Sodastream. Although our previous appliances editor, Laura, assured me that a Sodastream is 100% worth it, the utilitarian look felt out of step with my kitchen, and I couldn’t justify the countertop clutter.
