Bought an adapter years ago somewhere on the web to refill the Soda Stream bottles from a large CO2 bottle. Easy and since the growers started using a lot of CO2, the price of a large bottle is only $8 as compared to about $30 before they came along.

I assume you plumb it into your water supply or can you use a jug of water? My wife looked into them a few years ago, but I put the kibosh on it. I read some things on the 'Net that made it sound like the CO2 could end up being a pain, but it seems like it's been out there for a while and available at Bed Bath and Beyond.
Watch, I'll decide to get one and then BBB will stop carrying the canisters, hahahahah.
On a related note, scientists believe that we can actually taste carbonation.
