Netherlands tap water is world-class, yet many buy bottled—costly and environmentally harmful due to plastic waste. Tap water costs just €2 per 1,000 liters, versus €2 for two bottles. Bottled water risks bacteria from improper reuse.
Find plain water boring? SodaStream fixes that by infusing CO2 for customizable fizz, outperforming basic lemonade.
