Overview
HiCOZY's B1 is a countertop ice ball maker that turns out two 2-inch clear ice spheres per 60-80 minute cycle, aimed at cocktail and whiskey drinkers rather than everyday ice cube needs. It includes a stainless tong and drip tray.
Clear ice balls melt slower than standard cubes because of their shape and lower surface area, which is the actual mechanism behind the reduced-dilution claim rather than anything special about the machine itself. Water temperature matters here; HiCOZY specifies 59-77 degree input water for consistent clarity, so cold tap water may need to sit out first. The basket holds 8-10 balls at a time, so it's built for periodic batches rather than continuous output.
- Two 2-inch clear ice balls per 60-80 minute cycle
- LED display with water and ice alerts
- Self-cleaning function
- Includes stainless tong and drip tray
Who it's for
Home bartenders and whiskey drinkers who want clear, slow-melting ice for a handful of drinks at a time are the target buyer here. It isn't built for anyone who needs a steady daily supply of ice for a full household or large gatherings.
Pros and cons
- Produces clear, slow-melting ice balls for cocktails
- LED display tracks water level and ice status
- Includes tong and drip tray for cleaner serving
- Runs somewhat loud during a cycle
- Finished ice balls melt fairly quickly once removed
- Some units ship with an incomplete printed manual
Performance notes
Each cycle takes 60-80 minutes to freeze two 2-inch ice balls, with the LED display tracking water level and ice status so the machine can be left to run unattended. Clarity depends partly on input water temperature; HiCOZY recommends 59-77 degrees for consistent results, and the first cycle after setup typically runs slower while the unit cools down. The self-cleaning function and included drip tray are meant to keep the machine maintenance-light between batches.
