How to Use SodaStream Glass Bottles for Sparkling Water

Quick Answer

Using a SodaStream glass bottle is straightforward but requires attention to compatibility, filling levels, and carbonating order to prevent breakage and get the best fizz.

Steps to Use Your SodaStream Glass Bottle

1. Fill with Cold Water: Fill the glass bottle with cold tap water up to the fill line. Do not overfill—water expands when carbonated. Cold water holds more CO₂, giving you better fizz. Warm water will result in weak carbonation.
2. Attach to SodaStream Machine: Screw the glass bottle onto the carbonating nozzle of your compatible SodaStream machine (e.g., E-DUO). Ensure it is firmly attached but not overtightened. A loose connection can cause leaks or poor carbonation. A quick twist until snug is enough.
3. Carbonate the Water: Press the carbonating button in short 1-second bursts. Stop when you hear the pressure release hiss or after 3-5 bursts, depending on your desired fizz level. Over-carbonating can cause the bottle to overflow when you release it. Listen for the hiss as your signal to stop.
4. Remove and Flavor (Optional): Unscrew the glass bottle from the machine. If adding flavor, do so now—always fizz the water first, then add syrup or drops. Stir gently. Adding flavor before carbonating can cause excessive foaming and mess.
5. Clean After Use: Rinse the glass bottle with warm water after each use. For deeper cleaning, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the glass. Hand wash the cap to preserve the seal.
