Thank you SO much for this! I was having a lot of trouble with this thing not releasing the bottle, so I disassembled it all and put it back together and now it works a treat! Not sure what was going on but I am so excited. You weren’t kidding at the end about it all falling apart… took ages to work out how it all went back together, but now I understand it and I have a working SodaStream. 5*!
