Overview
A refrigerant-cooled mold freezes water into clear spheres a pair at a time, and finished spheres collect in a pull-out storage drawer. Water goes in through an included funnel, and a one-touch panel runs both freezing and a self-cleaning mode.
Clear spheres that melt slowly are what this machine is for, chilling whisky and cocktails while limiting dilution. Output comes in small batches, so it suits steady daily use and advance prep better than sudden demand at a crowded party.
Who it's for
Whisky drinkers and home bartenders who care how a glass looks get a dedicated sphere machine for a counter, office or bar cart. People who mostly fill tumblers of soda or pack coolers want a cube maker instead.
Pros and cons
- Clear spheres melt slowly in spirits
- Tongs, funnel and drip tray included
- Self-cleaning mode simplifies upkeep
- Pull-out drawer stores a dozen spheres
- Makes spheres only, in one size
- Small batches per freezing cycle
- Wattage not listed
- Deep footprint for shallow counters
Performance notes
Clear ice forms when water freezes slowly, so the machine works in small batches instead of filling a bin quickly. Daily output depends on running it continuously, and the storage drawer caps how many finished spheres wait at once. A large round shape exposes less surface to the drink, which slows dilution.
