    For completeness I must disagree (slightly) with my earlier posts @10 and @13.

    Lots of CO2 for beverages comes as byproduct of ammonia (fertilizer) manufacture. This is currently at a low ebb and impacting beer it places where it is much desired:

    Heineken's Amstel and Smiths beer hit by CO₂ supply shortage - BBC News

    Fundamentally the same thing though. CO2 as an industrial by-product goes through another money loop.

    Well they arrived:

    The first pour is high pressure but brief. The small head space in the bottle means the amount of pressurized CO{2} is small. Squeezing the bottle works to get a full cup so put it back in the fridge. The second pour is pressurized because of the larger head space and gives a full cup.

    It looks like the best technique is to pour one cup when the soda water is first opened and then screw on the dispenser. By the time you are ready for the subsequent cups there will be enough CO{2} in head space to support full cups.

    It comes with a cork board pin which I suspect is used to puncture the bottle base to add a vent hole if there is not enough carbonation to push the beverage out. But I've not had that problem, yet, but you'd be working in 'tippies' mode.

    That is totally a bottle rocket.

    There are 2 charging stations at Kohl's in Downers Grove, IL. I've never seen any at other Kohl's. I suspect the charging stations were installed when the store was MainStreet, a failed venture of Bloomingdales.
