Title: Bottled sodas
Post by: on January 16, 2002, 12:36:05 pm
We have purchased a Coca-Cola machine (Vendo81) and it is in working order.  We have been trying to find a place that will sell us the bottles that fit the machine.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can look or now someone we can talk too.  We have been currently buying the bottled sodas in the food stores when they have them, but they are very expensive and also we have been buying the IBC sodas. ???

I was in this same position a couple years ago. I had previously made much homebrewed beer and used the soda kegs from that and a homemade counterpressure bottle filler to mix and fill my own bottles. I bought red caps from a homebrew supplier to get close. I have about 4 cases of bottles I've picked up here and there. Currently cost is about $.07 per bottle. Quality is very good.

You can usually find the bottled cokes, sprites and diet cokes in glass bottles at your larger stores like Sam's for around $15.00.  Also contact your nearest Coke bottling plant, they can tell you where to buy them or sell them to you.
