Coke Zero Soda Syrup Concentrate 2.5 Gallon Bag in Box BIB Sodastream

This is great tasting and easy to use. No need to try anything else. When I used the SodaStream Diet Cola I had to use Torani Lemon Syrup to adjust the taste. I also tried the Monin.

More convenient than continually buying and disposing of cans. The "best by" date seems... conservative. It's only a few months from manufacture date, and these are fine far beyond that. For a bit of math... a 2L bottle of coke zero is ~$3 on the low side. This makes a bit over 60L, so ~30 2L bottles worth. Which is ~$90, which is about what this BiB costs. Add in CO2 (~$20 per 60L), which is $30 to carbonate the whole thing. So, ~$120 per BiB vs $90 for an equivalent amount of 2L bottles. Without having to haul 16 Gallons of Coke Zero home. And if you're buying cans, this is much cheaper than that since cans are almost 2x the cost per oz vs 2L bottles. This syrup is less concentrated than sodastream diet cola. The math for sodastream diet cola is $20 to make 9.5 gallons of soda + ~$12 for CO2. That's ~$3.4 per gallon for sodastream diet cola vs ~$7.4 dollars per gallon for coke zero syrup. This is a similar difference to off brand cola vs coke, so if you like sodastream rather than genuine coke, then you should stick with it. Personally, I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EDNNGKK / https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NRFS23X for carbonation (the CO2 tanks work with both these and sodastream). You add the syrup before carbonation. I don't know why you need to add it after for sodasense, but it seems like it would be less carbonated at that point. Instructions: Mix the syrup with carbonated water at a ratio of 5.5:1 (five and a half parts carbonated water for every one part syrup). Yields: When mixed at this recommended ratio, this product will yield approximately 16.25 gallons or 173 twelve fl oz servings.

The description of this item said "Sodastream" however, this Syrup Concentrate is NOT usable with Sodastream. This is more for fountain systems and is significantly too weak for sodastream use. You need to add so much of this "syrup", closer to sweet brown water than syrup, that it dilutes all the carbonation out of the sodastream water. You are left with a flat and undrinkable solution. I tried several carbonation and mixture levels and could not find a combination that would be usable with sodastream.

We purchased this to use in our Soda Stream. We had to add four times more syrup than the actual Soda Stream syrup. Literally four caps of this syrup to one Soda Stream bottle. It does taste like it should, but having to use way to much for what we paid for this. I wanted to like it and seemed like a good deal. But it is not for us.

What can you say Coke Zero is great. But the few people who sell these boxes are gouging the price big time.

this is Coke zero, but not in a can , a lot of syrup to drink at once, but I was able to do it successfully

The flavor is not present. for a concentrate, this seems very watered down. 2.5 gallons will make far less than the advertised amount using three times the syrup for each drink. Hope it was a bad batch but if the next one is like this I'll find a new source.

There were no instructions to explain how to the cap to allow the syrup to come out Nothing on their page to show how the cap works. Not even an FAQ to get a clue. There is a small cylindrical on the middle when pushed ever so slowly pushes up a little bit of syrup and this is while you hold up the no handle soft plastic package that is heavy. I’m going to need to pierce plastic and fill up gallon containers to be able to use it. The taste is good but for the money the packaging is terrible.
