iSi 10-Pack Soda Chargers, Gold

There are not gold colored (the canisters are silver colored) however these fit the ICO Professional Soda Siphon and that is what mattered. What was unusual was that the seller shipped these in a cardboard box padded envelope and the box broke so all the little canisters were rolling around like the oxygen tank scene on the deck of the boat from the movie "Jaws". They work just fine and when I reorder I will certainly order this product - but perhaps not from the seller.

Works great! Used these in my iSi Gourmet Whip (1L) to make Pineapple soda.Here's the method if you are so inclined: Add 1 liter of liquid. Use one charger and then slowly release the gas with the whipper upright. Once all the gas has released, then charge with two more chargers. Let it sit for half an hour in the fridge, then when ready to serve release the gas slowly with the whipper upright. Remove the top and then pour your soda.It works best with cold liquids. I recommend checking out ChefSteps.com for more information.

They work well for what they are, CO2 cartridges. Don’t know if there is such a thing as food-quality CO2 as I use these to make club soda. I pay the premium price until someone shows me the cheap pellet gun CO2 cartridges are the same.Update: Someone once said if you are paying $3 for your bottle of SmartWater, it’s not working. Well, I’m still paying $.93 per cartridge for carbon dioxide. I’m not happy about it. Each cartridge makes 1-qt of fizz water, about 4 8-oz glasses. I think our daughter-in-law has the right idea: she has a Soda Stream machine. Much more efficient. And, the large cartridges can be recycled.

I really like my iSi soda charger. I ordered five packages of the CO2 cartridges for a good supply on hand.My complaint is that that the five little boxes were put in a shipping ENVELOPE. I'm sure you're familiar with UPS handling but they don't handle with kid gloves. When I opened the envelope, three of the five boxes had busted open and the cartridges were rolling around loose.Very disappointing. They're all functionally fine but I expected a little more common sense on the shipping.Oh yeah, I don't believe this was shipped from Amazon so I don't blame Amazon.

Takes a couple tries to get it right, but be patient if you’re struggling. I probably wasted 5-6 before I figured it out so I never used it. But now I always get it right, no more waste, and I love my iSi Soda makes thing.The tricks I’ve found that work are using cold water- I actually use a cocktail shaker to chill the water. Fill it up until it overflows a bit. Tighten the top pretty good before you put the charger in, but you don’t have to get crazy Hulk on it. Put the charger thing in the cap thing before you connect the charger. Shake it up really good before you pour your water every time and keep it in the fridge. The colder the water, the better it works.I buy tonic syrup for cocktails and this is perfect for a not too sweet G&T

Despite these Isi carbon dioxide cartridges are expensive I would never buy another product for my ISI Seltz water siphon. Before making your choice I recommend you read other reviewers points of view; in effect there are many brands on the market, but unfortunately despite their product look the same and seem to contain the same amount of gas, it turns out that some are better than others. I would avoid the ones from China as Ihave read many complains about the quality and quantity of gas there is inside. Having to use 2 cartridges instead of one to fill a 1 liter soda siphon is exaggerated according to me. It seems that at least the ISI cartridges are still filled in Europe and that the law and company values are strict enough to maintain a certain quality level. As a student, I wish there was a similar product made in the USA with the same quality and a more attractive price.

i have an older soda siphon (~20 yo), and i have purchased these chargers several times in the past through amazon. I the past they fit my charger holder. Now they are slightly too big. I am sure that my metal holder has not shrunk, so i can only assume isi changed their size. too bad there isn't a alternative. too bad amazon won't let me return this. all i can do is eat the cost. i wouldn't risk buying this.

We ordered ten of these to ship at one time as recommended by another reviewer. Somehow (and I am still not certain how), they went to the wrong address -- an old address hundreds of miles from our current home. THEY CAN NOT BE RESHIPPED. That too is slightly hard to explain: these little chargers count as "hazardous materials" and although they can be sent TO you, they can not be returned, even if they go to the wrong address. So please, do not make our mistake! Not only do you need to check the shipping address when you start the order, you need to check the shipping address AGAIN if you make any changes (even payment method: I think that is what went wrong, I changed payment methods during checkout and it seems to have reverted to an old address). Aside from that, these are the gold standard in chargers... just be very, very, very careful with that shipping address, because it's strictly a one-way trip.
