1 quart/liter iSi gourmet whip siphon

To all 1 quart//liter siphon users. What is your experience using this size for smaller batches like for example Hollandaise for two.

Is it only a matter of adding additional charge?

I saw that Chefsteps guys consider this size to be more versatile. It definitely seems better for things like sodas but I was wondering whether things like small espumas/sauces won't be a problem.

I have not found it to be a problem at all.

So you just add additional charge and even small amount of content works fine?

Sometimes an additional charge isn't needed (it's a bit arbitrary) but often benefits from one. Test a small amount after charge to be sure. I also prefer to charge inverted so the gas has immediate access to the product.

Great. I want to avoid having to buy two of these and if 1L works for small and big batches then it is problem solved.

Small warning, you may end up getting a 2nd 1L I did :-)

Ha, ha. What are your use cases for two?

Have you tried really small batches like 125ml?

Isn't for example whipped cream too aerated when small amount is used?
