The 10 best glass drinking bottles

Live healthy and sustainable with a glass bottle! More and more people are following this line of thought, because conventional plastic bottles can release pollutants into the water and harm our health. The ingredient bisphenol A (BPA) is hotly debated.

If you want to be on the safe side, you should definitely buy a glass drinking bottle. These are not only BPA-free, they are also tasteless and odorless. In addition, the use of a reusable glass bottle is more sustainable and friendlier to our environment.

The trend towards glass drinking bottles can be clearly seen. In addition to stylish bottle designs, many drinking bottle manufacturers also offer protective covers or tea strainers. We present the 10 best glass drinking bottles that we can recommend with a clear conscience.

soulbottles - the cleanest drinking bottle

One of our favorites is definitely the soulboutles. But what is special about this high-quality glass bottle?

100% Made in Germany, a CO2-neutral production, a donation of 1 € for each soulbottes sold to the drinking water project by Viva con Agua and very stylish motifs make the drinking bottle unique.

The so-called soul community is behind the motifs. All soulbottles motifs are designed by a wide variety of artists from all over the world, who in return also receive a fixed amount.
In addition, the creators of soulbottles regularly call for a design competition in which the soul community (i.e. we) can submit or vote on motifs.

Compared to other drinking bottles, the drinking cap of the soulbottles is made of ceramic and therefore 100% plastic-free. It is sealed with natural rubber and the bracket is made of stainless steel. Thanks to the clip closure, the soul bottle is extremely tight and also suitable for drinks with carbonated acid.

Another plus: the soulbottles is vegan. All bottles used are without animal ingredients. The specially developed bottle brush with the name "Soulbrush" also consists only of vegetable fibers.

Compared to many other glass drinking bottles, the soulbottles are not made of borosilicate glass. The reason is the very high CO2 emissions during production, so soulbottles decided to do so. Instead, the drinking bottles consist of a robust, thick-walled glass, which is made in Germany.

The soulbottles weighs 470 g and has a capacity of 0.6 L and 1.0 L 

MIU Color - Flavor your water

Miu Color is a simple and at the same time stylish drinking bottle made of glass, which can aromatize boring tasting water in a natural way and thus brings variety to the drinking. It is perfect for people who like to drink tea or fruit spritzer.

The Miu Color drinking bottle can be filled with a variety of tea bags, loose tea leaves or fruit using the tea strainer supplied. The sieve can be installed through the screw-on bottle bottom.

Over time, these ingredients give their taste through the filter into the water.
In addition to the taste of the fruit, vitamins also get into the water. This means that the water not only tastes better, but is also healthier than pure tap water. However, the sieve is not a must.

Both the bottle with its large opening and the tea strainer are easy to clean. In addition, Miu gives his drinking bottle a suitable cleaning brush.

The drinking cap is made of food-safe stainless steel and seals with the help of a silicone ring. Amazon users speak of a dense and non-drip bottle

The Miu drinking bottle is made from heat-resistant borosilica glass, which is not only more sustainable than plastic bottles, but also does not release any pollutants into the drink.

Furthermore, this glass drinking bottle is protected with a practical nylon cover, which also has a practical carrying strap and can be pulled over the bottle with a zipper. The protective cover is available in black, dark blue, gray and pink.

If you like water with a fruity taste or tea, you should use MIU Color. The Miu Color is available in 550 ml and 700 ml versions.

Emil - the glass drinking bottle to wear

Who doesn't know Emil's healthy drinking bottle, which hung from the satchel or pram? This drinking bottle has been very popular with parents for over two decades because it is free of harmful substances and therefore ideal for children.

The Emil is a drinking bottle made of glass and therefore not only tasteless and odorless, but also absolutely tight with its screw cap and suitable for carbon dioxide. It is also dishwasher safe. However, we also recommend regular cleaning with a bottle brush.

The problem with using a glass bottle is the risk of breakage. Emil has cleverly solved this problem of glass drinking bottles and is protecting the bottle with the so-called "BottleSuit". The makers of the bottle also say to Emil: “The bottle to put on”.
The colored fabric bags conceal a polypropylene (PP) sleeve, which on the one hand protects the bottle from falling and breaking. On the other hand, the "BottleSuit" has the function of isolating the bottle so that drinks can stay cold or warm for longer. Drinks up to 60 ° C can therefore be filled.

In the meantime, the Emil is not only interesting for children, but also for adults. Due to the high demand, there is a version with 600 ml instead of 300 ml and 400 ml for children for adults.

The design of the BottleSuit fabric bag has also changed. The “FirstClass Line”, which is a collection especially for environmentally conscious adults, uses fabric covers that are made of 50 percent organic cotton or organic linen. These sleeves bear the GOTS seal. (Global Organic Textile Standard)

The Emil is manufactured exclusively in Europe. The empty weight of the 600 ml is 420 g and 310 g for 400 ml. Due to the many different fabric bag designs, there should be something for everyone.

RETAP - a touch of Scandinavian design

In order to make a statement against plastic bottles and to reduce plastic waste through reusable drinking bottles, the Danish company RETAP launched a very high-quality glass drinking bottle shortly after the 2009 World Climate Conference.

This drinking bottle scores not only with its robustness due to the high-quality borosilicate glass, but also with its very minimalist design.

The design would be typically Scandinavian: simple, timeless and elegant. It is precisely these properties that RETAP embodies with its straight lines and is also very easy to hold. The RETAP drinking bottle has already received several awards for its design, such as the Red Dot Design Award 2011 or the Good Design Award 2012.

This glass drinking bottle is equipped with a simple rubber cap made of TPE, which is BPA-free, phthalate-free and contains no PVC. The water bottle cap is available in 8 different colors, such as the trend color petrol, baby blue, red, green or black.

For those who want to do without plastic entirely, they can alternatively use a walnut wood lid. However, this wooden lid is not so suitable for on the go because it is not 100% leakproof.

This glass drinking bottle from RETAP is easy to clean. Neither unnecessary edges nor a thread offer a target for deposits. In addition, the bottle and cap are dishwasher safe. The closure is not a screw or twist lock. The cap is simply pressed onto the bottle and clicks into place with an audible click.
The Retap glass drinking bottle is available in different sizes:

• 300 ml: 183 g
• 500 ml: 202 g
• 800 ml: 200 g

Flaska - Structured water from the bottle

Flaska is a glass drinking bottle with a special property. Those who drink from the Flaska drink revitalized and structured water. At least that's what the manufacturer of this glass bottle promises.

The structure of the water is changed on the way from the source to the faucet by long metal or plastic pipes.
With the help of the Flaska, the water should be brought back to its original structure. The restructuring should take place within the glass of the drinking bottle.

A vibration program is written into the glass or silicon dioxide using the TPS process (silicon programming technology), which is intended to change the water molecules. Structured water should not only be healthier but also taste better. There are not many scientific studies on this, but the customer should notice that the water is changing. If you want to learn more about restructuring, you can read on here .

In addition to the special property of structuring water, the Flaska is a drinking bottle made of the sustainable material glass and is one of the healthy materials because it does not release any pollutants into the water.

The bottle is sealed with a cork stopper. If it should get lost or used, there is a free replacement.

The Flaska is given a further plus point by the protective cover provided, which also keeps drinks hot or cold. In addition to many attractive designs, you can also choose between the materials neoprene, silicone, cork or organically produced cotton. So there should be something for everyone.

So that the pre-programming of this glass drinking bottle is not lost, the drinking bottle manufacturer does not recommend cleaning the Flaska in the dishwasher.

The Flaska is available in two sizes. Once in 500 ml and 750 ml. For everyday use, we recommend the 0.75l variant. You can find out how Flaska does in our test here: Flaska glass bottle - test and evaluation.

Amapodo - glass drinking bottle for tea lovers

The amapodo drinking bottle is a very special drinking bottle for all tea lovers who want to drink their own fresh tea during everyday life.

The double-walled tea strainer made of stainless steel makes it possible to prepare tea practically on the go and to flavor the water.

The design of the water bottle is very similar to the Epico water bottle with 2 huge differences in detail.

On the one hand, this glass drinking bottle is 100% plastic-free. The drinking bottle impresses with a lid made of real bamboo wood, in which the tea strainer is located. This drinking cap can be opened with a quarter turn and is sealed with a silicone ring.

In addition, the amapodo drinking bottle is a double-walled design made of heat-resistant borosilicate glass compared to all of the drinking bottles presented here.
This keeps warm drinks such as tea or coffee warm for up to 2 hours - even without an additional cover. Furthermore, the surface never gets too hot, so that you can no longer touch the bottle.

The amapodo drinking bottle or tea bottle was developed for tea drinkers who want to enjoy their tea every day. Of course, the drink can also be flavored with fruit or mint leaves. This guarantees a change from normal drinking water. This water bottle has a capacity of 450 ml. The smaller capacity in comparison can be explained by the fact that this water bottle is double-walled and has a thermo function.

The bottle itself is dishwasher safe. However, the bamboo lid should be cleaned by hand

If you are looking for a healthy and practical drinking bottle in which you can also brew tea at the same time, you will not go wrong with this glass drinking bottle and is also well ahead in terms of style.

Lagoena - isolation and protection with cork

Using glass with a drinking bottle has many advantages. With the "Lagoena" Nature's Design has a practical and very trendy glass drinking bottle, which is 100% ecological and free of plastic.

In addition, the drinking bottle was designed according to the golden ratio and is mouth-blown from the heat-resistant borosilicate glass. As a result, hot liquids such as tea or coffee can be filled easily.

A precisely adapted natural cork protective cover not only allows you to touch hot drinks and provides insulation, but also protects the bottle from involuntary falls and vibrations. With the natural cork cover, the Lagoena is also non-slip in the hand.

The casing can be removed quickly and easily, so that the drinking bottle can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. A biological screw cap made of beech wood in Germany is used to close the bottle.

A highlight of this bottle is the white flower of life on the bottom of the bottle and is known in many cultures as an energy symbol. The Lagoena glass drinking bottle comes in sizes 0.5 and 0.7 l.
