What customers say
Customers say the kits are easy to use, with clear step-by-step instructions that make a first batch simple even for complete beginners. They love the authentic taste and the natural, organic ingredients with nothing artificial, and they prefer the gentle real-fermentation fizz to the harsher carbonation of store-bought soda. Reviewers especially enjoy making soda as a fun project with their kids, how easily the ginger bug keeps going for months, and the quick, genuinely helpful customer support.

“Quality product with detail step by step instructions”
“I really like this kit! It was a little bit of a learning curve based on my home’s temperature (we like to keep our house cooler), but once I figured that out it was easy to use!”
“Great way to get started with natural soda fermentation at home. The company has great customer support and will quickly respond to any questions or issues. My ginger bug is still going strong after several months. I tried the Elderberry and Root Beer flavor kits. The Elderberry was fantastic and everyone who tried it agreed. The root beer was good but not quite the root beer flavor I expected. I have begun experimenting with different batches and trying my own flavors. I love the tiny bubble fermentation instead of the fake injected large bubble carbonation of store bought soda.”
“Im a rootbeer fanatic… i was leary but the flavor and the ingredients in this are amazing! In so grateful to have found this product! I love that when you have questions they respond promptly and answer your questions… thank you for that! 100%reccomend”
“My son received the Ginger Bug Kit as a gift so he could make soda. The instructions are easy to follow and his bug has thrived and he has now gifted two other people baby ginger bugs from his. We have used it to make root beer and strawberry soda.”
“I’ve a few minor hiccups while rehydrating my bug, and Diane has been AMAZING with answering questions and concerns. I would recommend Sandpoint Soda just because of her help!”
“Directions were crystal clear and so easy to follow. Successful soda making attempt. I’d buy again for sure !”
“Absolutely delicious. I’d recommend to others for sure”
