Hi! I've my anxiety that I've been quenching with sodas but I'd like to move away from anything America branded overall into some local alternatives. What are some soda alternatives 100% EU?

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 โ‚ฌ 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
