I find it weird that even though we have advanced in technology and sciences so much in the last 200 years, it's still hard, time-consuming (and/or very expensive) to have very clear, nicely cut ice. It's just frozen water yet we still struggle with something so simple. I just find it interesting to be honest.
It's not weird. Don't get me wrong, i love clear ice as much as the next amateur bartender, but 99.9% of people don't give a crap, so why would anyone care about researching it?
I just got several of those Styrofoam clear ice ball makers, make up a few rounds at a time and store them in a Ziploc bag in the deep freeze. But, yes, I would love to have an automatic icemaker that would make CLEAR SHAPES, doesn’t have to be cubes, about the size of a baby fist, AUTOMATICALLY, amd dump them into a -15°F storage box.
@@DackxJaniels try hoshisaki ice maker .. they have crescent ice .. it's so clear its like mirror .. you can see it in korean cafe vlogs ..
If this made larger ice cubes I would totally buy this even if it cost more.
Me too. But importantly science is advancing and soon we will have clear large ice cubes
I think there's a LG or Samsung refrigerator that makes whiskey sized ice
@@DavidRamseyIII the good thing is if you just fill the glass with these smaller cubes it still wont dilute as fast as normal shitty ice
I have a very similar machine at home that my girlfriend bought me for Christmas. Its definitely handy to have around since I don't have anywhere near enough freezer space to freeze a 5 gallon cooler. I just run this thing, and stick bags of it in the freezer. I do want to get a deep freeze and stick it in the other room for making large format ice, but this is nice for now. Its an improvement over buying bags or freezing trays.
I've become the family bartender when gatherings happen at my parents house, so I convinced them to get one of these and I highly recommend. Super clear and makes a good amount to entertain a group of 8 for a weekend.
Liked! Please do more of these
I just bought this ice maker last week! Perfect timing! Lol
Nice vid, looks pretty handy in a pinch!
Hell yes, a Hotel Tango spirit made into one of your videos!! They make my go-to, workhorse Vodka. Much love from Indy!
Good and informative video!
This would be a major upgrade over freezer ice for anyone still using that (most people). Especially since you don't really need to keep it out 24/7 and can save batches or just break it out when you're planning on doing some drinking. Would be on-par with bagged ice which is miles better than freezer ice but far from best for anything.
Will the ice stay CLEAR if I make big batches and store them in a plastic bag or a solid container then dump them in my freezer for days or weeks? If not, then sadly I don't think these machines are for me. I don't have enough patience to come turn it on and wait for 6-15 minutes whenever I want to enjoy a drink.
I was expecting a price tag in the $300 range so knowing it's sub $200 is intriguing.
Thank you so much ♥️
I have one of these in my bar and it's great!
This is CLEARLY a superb ice maker.....
Would be cool if it could make some more “cocktail” style cubes. Larger ice would probably be much harder to get clear though.
Anyone else think 82 degrees is crazy hot?
It’s hot under those lights 😥
Especially for all those lovely bottles!! he’s going to ruin all that liquor.
Yes that is practically boiling lol. Am Texan! Can confirm.
Hair looks good man
Would this machine be good for like shaking or stirring ice? Vs like ice you would use to serve?
yeah, but you don't need to clearness for that though. But sure.
Reppin the Hotel Tango! Was just there today 🙂
Feel like all clear ice makers come with so many criticisms which is the main reason I haven’t bought one. Either people complaining they go bad after 3 months, the ice is cloudy, etc. Any recommendations from the crowd on a legit ice maker?
Same reason for me too.
How about a similar machine that makes large clear ice cubes or spheres? Is there such a machine?
I bypassed many bullet type ice makers for this cube ice maker. Square clear ice is awesome. Wondering how to run the self cleaning cycle and what solution to use. Instructions very poor.
I can definitely see where this could be useful in a pinch or when you have guests over as well.
How would you clean this? I just got this given to me brand new cause they couldn't figure out how to clean it 🤔
we just follow the instructions basically. But a diluted vinegar mix once a month should do the trick.
And we don't keep it turned on.
peep the HT bourbon haha
How's the opal holding up? I want to get the newer GE version in the next couple months
Love the Opal. It’s been a dream. Although it’s expensive if you divide the money spent by how long it has lasted it actually comes out to pretty cost effective
@@freepour do you use the nugget ice in any old cocktail? Always figured nugget was more "tiki-esque" and couldn't imagine putting it in an old fashioned over a large clear cube.
The title makes it seem like you were gonna test if it can make 40 lbs in 24 hours
"When I drink spirits NEAT, I add ice to the top of it" is the oddest thing I've heard on a bar channel. 1:58
You do what?
@@mrpipps90 It's a quote from the video, I'll edit the oc for clarity and time stamp it.
I thought that was a weird comment too.
Yeah I don’t understand what he was trying to say.
Buy a $7 cooler. Fill with water
Put in freezer. Get clear ice block.
yes, that's our preferred method for large rocks for sure. We have a video on it on our other channel
What size cooler would you advise in litres please ?
Ngl you intro sounded like barf lyfe ree pour
Do you have to send the machine back?
no, we still have it. We might do a giveaway?
Why is it so hot in there?
The set is built out in the garage and is not insulated and we don't g
have AC in there. So its pretty much as hot or cold as it is outside that day :(
@@freepour yikes. build a swamp cooler out of this ice machine.
How can anyone stand being in a room that's 80 degrees??? I would be miserable
Why are you adding ice when drinking spirits NEAT?
You’re not. The definition of neat is no ice 😂
looks just like he Frigidaire model
Wait a second…WHY IS IT 82 degrees in your room?
No AC?? I’m worried
we have one now
It looks like mcdonalds ice lol
It’s basically what it is :)
@@freepour as someone who used to work at McDonalds can confirm
Anybody else hung up on the 82 degrees in that room? Lighting? Either way....Nooooooo
Why are you working in a room 82%? All the Lights? My pits would be barking....is that a term.
It's a garage, and it was just really really hot that week. We have a portable ac unit now that we can cool down the set with this summer :)
@@freepour Glad to hear you could find one. Just got to Portland area in time for the Heatwave...Those things are like gold.
82 degrees!? How are you not dying in there?
I am dying. But no AC in that room and live in LA whaddayagonnado?
@@freepour That makes sense
Dude, did you lose weight?
Those cubes look dead
You asked the question in your title but you never answered it. Can it make 40lbs in 24 hrs? Well??
Yes it can. And we did say it in the video :)
Barf lie?
