Mysoda Glassy
Finnish glass-bottle carbonator with an automated sliding safety door and a wood-composite body; nozzle and cap materials are unverified, so assume some plastic in the path.
The verdict: Minimal plastic contact
The Glassy carbonates into a dishwasher-safe 1L glass bottle behind an automated sliding door (the safety enclosure that glass-under-pressure requires). Mysoda does not publish materials for the carbonation nozzle or the quick-lock bottle cap, so we treat both as plastic until confirmed - hence minimal-contact rather than silicone-only. The body is a renewable wood composite (~60% bio-based polypropylene from tall oil + 40% wood fibre) with aluminum details - genuinely less virgin plastic, but still a polypropylene-based shell (not in the water path). A 1L PET bottle is also included but optional.

What it's made of
| Part | Material | Water contact |
|---|---|---|
| glass bottle (1L) dishwasher-safe; glass type unspecified | Soda-Lime Glass | Yes primary |
| bottle cap (quick-lock) material not published by Mysoda - treat as plastic until confirmed | Plastic other / unspecified | Yes primary |
| carbonation nozzle anti-freeze nozzle; material not published - contacts water only during carbonation | Plastic other / unspecified | Yes primary |
| machine body wood composite - ~60% polypropylene derived from crude tall oil + 40% wood fibre, with aluminum details; not in the water path | Polypropylene PP, #5 | No |
| PET bottle (included) optional - the machine works with just the glass bottle | Plastic other / unspecified | Yes primary |
Mysoda's glass-bottle sparkling water maker and the design-forward alternative to the Aarke Pro at a lower price. An automated sliding door slides shut over the glass bottle before carbonation, with a one-hand quick-lock bottle mechanism and notably quiet operation. No electricity; takes standard screw-in CO2 cylinders and is sold in the US via Mysoda USA on Amazon. Red Dot and iF design award winner.
Pros
- Carbonate, store, and serve in a dishwasher-safe 1L glass bottle
- Cheaper than the Aarke Carbonator Pro
- Standard screw-in CO2 cylinder (not proprietary) - takes common SodaStream/Wassermax-style refills, avoiding cylinder lock-in
- Body is a renewable wood composite rather than virgin plastic
Cons
- Nozzle and cap materials unpublished - assume plastic in the water path until verified
- Smaller US footprint than SodaStream or Aarke; CO2 cylinder not included
- The wood-composite body is still mostly polypropylene (though bio-based and out of the water path)
