THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME FROM THE MAIN CHANNEL!!!
Really enjoy both channels dude!
Means a lot!
np
What happened to your old channel?
@@abezzed I have 2 Vladflix and Vlad SlickBartender. Both doing good ☺️
For me the main disadvantage of the Japanese Ice press is the price. Those, as you say, can be very pricy and if you make more than 1 drink they become impractical. So yes, if I get it as a present it will be great, but personally I do not think it is worth the expense. Thank you for the really nice review. Cheers!
And what surprising how in almost 10 years Japanese Ice press barely went down in price... Even though it's so easy to make clear ice spheres in your home freezer. Presentation is not worth it that much
@@Vladflix Totally agree with you.
Just an idea that I followed through with for everyone! I contacted a machine shop and had them make me one to spec and it only ran me 120 usd, worth the research! Cheers from NH🥶
Sounds great! How big? Let us know how it works
Thank you!
Found one for $10, works perfectly fine
I have used that sphere kit. It’s really easy to use and works well.
Yep! Love it 😊
I think the advantages of the press are the on-demand shaping of the ice and the fact that they make a sight to behold on the bar, so to keep customers entertained (supposing you keep it warm, of course).
Also, provided you have to make a lot of different shapes, there are presses that, for a fraction more, will offer a wide variety of molds, making it so you don't have to calculate how much ice of every single shape you'll have to keep refrigerated.
At their price, however, I'd design one myself, buy the metal (I think that copper is a good choice, just remember to plate it with pure Gold to avoid tarnishing) and pay a EDM company to cut the stuff.
Amazing channels, and great seeing you go through these things and explain the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Thank you!!! 🙏
New videos every week! 🔥
Vlad. Great video, super informative as always!!
Thanks for the info man. Love your vids
Thanks a lot for being here!
Hello mr vlad hope you notice me as a aspiring bartender with a few materials you are the reason why i got inspired to enter on bartending community
I absolutely love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot! Really glad you guys hanging out with me here :-)
Hey thank you vlad learn a lot from you over the last few months and am looking forward to learning a lot more from you. You also inspired me now am thinking about becoming a mixologist i even start a youtube channel thanks to you. Again thank you so much. Looking forward to see what you have in store for us in 2021.
Very happy to hear that my friend 🙏 Stay consistent. That’s all you need to succeed in 2021 😉
I will and thank you again 😉
Every time I see a new video I get amazed by your skills and by your cocktails . Big fan bro ❤️❤️😎
Thank you my dear friend! On this channel I will do my best to explore and try new creative things! 🤘🙏
At first I read that 'you shouldn't buy this ice press kit'.
While watching the video, I keep thinking about whether there were any shortcomings of the product.
It was but cool product.
My poor English :(
+ link to buy product is disappeared 😞
Thanks for Nice video!
The larger spehere looks a lot better in the glass.I agree with you on the cheaper sphere maker being better. There's a British company that makes a press with interchangeable dies for spheres, hearts, stars, diamonds and snowmen...damn thing costs $1,000. That's money better spend on Absinthe, or whatever your favourite spirit is, as far as I'm concerned.
Yes!
For that kind of money you can buy entire bar with all tools, alcohol and other ingredients 😅🤟
I got wintersmiths clear ice maker and I really enjoyed clear ice maker for my cold brew and Japanese iced coffee 🥃👍
Checking Wintersmiths right now!
@@Vladflix what do you think? I'm using wintersmiths phantom mini. I recommend you should try Phantom ice maker it have different shapes then the Phantom mini
How did u get the ice cube clear?
What temperature should the freezer be in?
5:18 - Great insight, but tap water will ABSOLUTLEY make crystal clear ice. I do it nearly every night in my freezer (round-ice-device and Coleman-cooler style). I DO think that it has to do with the type of tap water indigenous to you though. I believe some tap waters will process more clearly than others, and you have to experiment with your particular water and process - but it does work - 100% :)
You're lucky to live with a higher quality tap water source 👍
Your boht channel are awesome
I got one of the these ice ball molds for Christmas and it works really well. Weirdly it only takes 16 hours for mine to freeze according to instructions.
Right! 18 hours if you freeze it in low temp, which means there might be some impurities. I need ice perfectly clear (if I use it for videos) so it takes longer
Which bar are you at? I need to see these in person 😁
Thanks vlad!
Thank you for being here :-)
@@Vladflixhey! That is some content you would do me a pleasure to go on with! Thanks vlad! Where is Raul playing around?
@@florianholbl9570 Thank you! Raul Bartender is currently in Miami :-)
Well no doubt its expensive... but if someone has the money... well... why not right? Nice vid btw
Love from Greece 🇬🇷❤️
Same to you from Las Vegas! ❤️
Imagine not subscribed to both channels with post notifications off could never be me
😅😂🙏🔥❤️
Bro great video but dayumn! T-T-T-Today Jr!!!!! Lol one love just kidding😉
I cant find ice ball maker by follow you link :((
Lol nice. I watch this as I sip on Hibiki Japanese Harmony
Sir big fan
So grateful!
Great vid, but one comment... There should be little to no issue making clear ice with tap water.
I just like the process of how a Japanese ice press makes the shape
May i ask U
How much the jack daniels bottle in your country ?
$18-25 for 750ml Bottle of Jack Daniels
I have the "true cube" ice cube maker, what size press would I need to create a perfect sphere?
Create it by hands or using an ice press?
@@Vladflix ice press
You can get those ice press things for about au$100
この機械は日本で有名ですね。丸い透明な氷を自分で作るのは楽しいですよね。
Bro can you came live to show us your creativity please sir
Use a torch to speed it up
hey
hi :-)
Прикольные молды для шариков льда.Пошла искать.
I think the only reason to buy one would be for show. Doing this in front of your customer has you make their drink, does have the wow factor. But I'll be looking at buying the styrofoam one.
Думаю есть смысл купить в домашний бар пресс для диамантов так-как для них нет формы для заморозки .
Точно есть.
Я хотел взять для этого видео но не успел ☺️
Definitely the larger
Doh
If u use ice from ice press it has higher temperature, than ones directly from the freezer, so it will melt and dilute drinks faster
I always get frustrated when I hear people talk about this and they bring up bubbles or the cheaper freezer options. First of all I pay 170.00 in aluminum cost to make 1 ice press. Then I have to purchase stainless 316l or 303 rods and ceramic or acetal bushings. After turning them on a lathes they have to be put on a mill and drilled and tapped for bushings and handles engraving etc. Now You have to get it anodized. If I literally sold one for the cost of materials and supplies. It would be around 200.00. to 230.00 depending on ice ball size. Now figuring you have all the saws time, cnc machine time, etc. We have about 50 to 100 dollars in gross profit that gets taxed don't forget. Of course I didn't mention a drip pan and packaging but you get the idea. You showed in your video the ice press working but used too large of ice. The means a lot of heat was drawn from the press. This is why manufacturers like myself use a specific size cup for freezing water. One of my presses could make 3 balls before needing warm water on the press. You are also getting entertainment out of the whole process which makes getting your drink more fun. The cooling ball chest things take up most of your freezer in a normal freezer. However with the correct temperature you can freeze water that was boiled or distilled and it will be pretty clear. The chest system when not in use looks tacky sitting on a bar. The Ice press looks professional and I have heard with the right logo and look. People will ask for a whiskey just to see it work. The fact that you don't like the size of ball is silly. You can get different size ball presses. We manufacture many custom shapes for ice not just ball shapes or diamond. We can even do company logos. But all of this is silly anyway. Most people who drink whiskey eventually stop using ice as they develop a pallet for it.. I mean why ruin all the flavor with water right.
also we are making them around 500.00 dollars. Without accessories
Call me weird, but I kinda like the impurities in the ice balls.
Guess you're weird. Aren't we all?
The "Ice ball Maker for $24" link is no longer valid.
Two questions:
1) Do the ice spheres smack your nose when you take a drink?
2) Are you single? (Asking for a friend...) ;)
I just bought a ice press for 115 bucks and it makes just over 2" spheres. I also use my clear block maker that produces a block that can make 100 2.5 cubes with. So I just chop down the big block and use pre chopped cubes in the press. If you want to make a lot of spheres you will need hot water to reheat the press after each use.
what brand is your clear block maker?
@@mike212916 I made it myself
What i don't get is that you say to only use filtered water if you want clear ice, but i've seen others say you can get clear ice with tap water.
you as well as others use the same method and get the same results so i don't know what you do that works for clear ice but only get those results with filtered water while other get those same results but also works with tap water.
If there are impurities in the water than use distilled water. But probably its air.
Omg if you have to shape your ice to look good, you're doing something wrong with your life.
I think that the idea of taking a block of ice that takes 24 to 36 hours to make .. which means lots of Electricity .. just so you can make a couple custom-shaped ice "cubes" while losing a bunch of otherwise perfectly good drinking water that runs off the mold, ... is Wasteful and Mindless.
The main impression on the customer is applied when he/she gets his/her cocktail. When someone sees it that there is a spherical ice floating in the glass it feels so relaxing.
So whether the Japanese Ice Maker is a real search for getting the first impression but the Spherical Ice Mold will be more convenient for the bartender itself...... 😀🧊🧊🍻🍻
So true, thank you womxn/man/they/them/+.
The only thing I would say is that you missed a few key pronouns and its quite standard to include they/them. And to be safe I would also include "+" to signify all of the marginalised groups which are not mentioned and yet you do not want to specifically exclude.
Additionally, to stop the harmful perpetuated patriarchal gender stereotypes of "men" first, I would caution you from listing masculine pronouns first. Heads up.
Have a nice flarking day :)
