The MySoda BubbleMate machine
How does it work?
It is simple to use:
- Fill the carbonating bottle up to the line with cold water, from the fridge or the tap. The colder the water, the better it absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) and the less gas you use.
- Lock the carbonating cap onto the machine.
- Press and hold the button on top of the machine for about 2-3 seconds. The longer you hold it, the fizzier the drink.
- Press the blue button on top of the carbonating bottle to release the excess carbon dioxide. The bottle will not open without this step.
- Unlock the carbonating cap and fill your glass.
Does it need electricity or batteries?
No. The machine works only with the pressure of the CO2 cylinder. The only thing you change from time to time is the cylinder, when it runs out.
Can I carbonate any drink I like?
Yes. The only limit is drinks with pulp, such as orange juice with pulp. Very thick drinks may need more gas if they are not cold. The ideal temperature is 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, the temperature of your fridge.
CO2 cylinders
How many litres does one CO2 cylinder make?
One cylinder makes up to 60 litres of sparkling drinks. With the €12 refill, that is from €0.20 per litre.
My CO2 has run out. What do I do?
Refill the empty cylinder. Choose the refill on the page of the CO2 cylinder (€12) or the Quick Connect cylinder (€16).
With courier delivery, the courier brings you the full cylinder and takes the empty one. You can also exchange it at our shop in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, after arranging a time with us on 2311 181 181.
Which cylinder do I have, screw-in or Quick Connect?
The screw-in cylinder screws into the machine and fits the MySoda BubbleMate, SodaStream Spirit, Jet, Genesis, Power, Source, One Touch, Fizzi, Aqua Fizz, Fountain, Penguin, as well as Aarke, Philips, Mysoda, Drinkmate and Sodapop. Refill 12€.
The Quick Connect cylinder has a pink ring on the valve and clicks in without screwing. It fits SodaStream Art, Terra, E-Terra, Duo, E-Duo, Gaia and Enso. Refill 16€.
More on the page CO2 cylinder refill for SodaStream.
Do you accept SodaStream or other brands' cylinders for exchange?
Yes. We accept original SodaStream cylinders and cylinders of the same type from other makers, in good condition, as long as at least 2 years remain until the cylinder's next mandatory inspection. If your cylinder has less time left, you need a new cylinder.
Where do I see how long my cylinder is valid?
Every CO2 cylinder must be inspected every 10 years. The date is stamped into the metal at the top of the cylinder, near the valve, usually as month/year (e.g. 05/19). If there are several dates, the most recent one counts. Add 10 years and you will see how long it is valid.

Can I buy an extra cylinder?
Yes, so you never run out of fizz. The extra CO2 cylinder costs €35 and the extra Quick Connect cylinder €39.
Is the carbon dioxide safe?
Yes. Cylinders are filled at our premises or at authorised points with food-grade carbon dioxide that is safe for home use and consumption, in line with Greek and European law.
