If your SodaStream Source is producing flat soda or soda without enough bubbles, try the following solutions (roughly in order from easiest to hardest).
Water Temperature is Incorrect
When using the SodaStream Source to make soda, using warm water generally results in fewer bubbles. Cold water is recommended for best results and more bubbles. Clean out the carbonation bottle and refill it with cold, unflavored water, and try to use the machine again.
Did Not Start with Carbonated Water
For fizzier soda, SodaStream recommends using unflavored carbonated water. The soda will have more overall fizz because you are adding more carbonation, to begin with. You should not be using juice, flat soda, or any other previously flavored liquids. Clean out the carbonation bottle and refill it with clean, unflavored, carbonated water, then try to use the machine again.
Carbon Dioxide Cylinder Needs to be Replaced
If your SodaStream is producing soda with little carbonation, replace the carbon dioxide cylinder with a full one.

This device doesn’t give me any foam when I pour a glass from the carafe. I want foam fizz!

With a brand new gas cilinder, my soda stream machine is not carbonating water. Gas cilinder is properly fitted, and I am using room temperature water.
When pressing the valve it is blowing a few bubbles but not gas into the water.

I have same issue. Where is this part? Do I need to buy a new part? Where? How?

Hi, are you saying that I need to find a 3d printer and print the part?
Is there a chance to get it by post in the UK? And if the part is faulty, could you advice on how to change it, please?

Yes, 3d printing services exist (you send them the file and they print and send it to you). I did this fix and managed to fix it!
It ended up pushing TOO MUCH co2 so I had to sand the bit that pushes the cylinder till I was happy with the results. hardest part is to open this thing...

"....warm water generally results in fewer bubbles." Seems contrary to the laws of physics and chemistry? The hotter the water the more space between the H2O molecules for CO2 molecules. When the water cools there's less space and it takes more pressure to keep the CO2 in the water, i.e., more bubbles.

Why are these questions not being answered?
Brand new. Little to no fizz. Cold non carbonated H2O
Sounds like we all have a defective product
