Wintersmiths, responsible for creating premium cookware for professional bartenders and home mixologists, is back on Kickstarter to unveil their latest creation in the form of the Juniper Ice Maker. Capable of creating three different forms of ice, including spheres and 2″ cubes, the ice maker can freeze 12 2″ spheres every 24 hours and can be connected or simply used to use the builtin water tank.
Specifications
– Modern compact design with anodized aluminum housing. Dimensions 15 1/8″ H x 16 5/16″ D x 10 3/8″ W.
– Quickly produces superdense, longlasting, symmetrical, crystalclear ice in 48 hours (4 hours for 16 small cubes / 8 hours for 4 large cubes or spheres)
– Makes twelve clear 2.5″ ice balls or 2″ cubes, or ninetysix 1.25″ ice cubes every 24 hours.
– Select standard mode or speed mode to produce opaque ice 2x faster.
– Closed system with virtually no loss of water or energy, no drainage required
– Incredibly easy to use – one digital LED selector + intuitive indicator lights
– Easy cleaning cycle for device maintenance
– Quiet operation (less than 45 dB)
– Works with any source of water (tap, spring, distilled, etc.)
– Removable water tank or optional direct water connection
– Designed to be placed on the kitchen table, but you can also store it when not in use
– Durable components plus 12 month extended warranty and eligibility to repair methodology
Early backer contributions are now available for the new project at prices ranging from around £499 to £416 (depending on current exchange rates), offering a significant discount of around 50% off the suggested retail price, while Kickstarter crowdfunding is in full swing.
“Let’s face it. Most ice makers don’t work well. They’re poorly built, ugly, and form fine, cloudy, melting ice quickly. We’ve designed an ice maker that we’d like to use in our kitchens and bars every day. Introducing Juniper with our latest patented technology to automatically create truly crystal clear, slowmelting, barquality ice in 75% less time and using significantly less water than other methods.”
Transparent ice maker
“When we say transparent, we mean that our ice looks like glass. In addition to the obvious benefits, clear ice does not contain air bubbles, so it is denser than regular ice, which means it will melt more slowly and not fall apart, making your drink stay colder for a longer period of time. with less dilution. There are many products that claim to produce “clear ice”, but you’ll find that most of them are either partially transparent or completely opaque. On the contrary, we have been relentless in our pursuit of clean ice over the last decade, and all of our products are proof of that.”
Assuming that Juniper’s crowdfunding campaign is successfully reaching its required target and production is running smoothly, worldwide shipments are expected to take place sometime in September 2024. To learn more about the Juniper ice machine project, watch the promotional video below.
“Depending on the ratio of surface area to volume, ice of different shapes and sizes will melt at different rates. The Large Ice Sphere has the smallest surface area to volume ratio and is best for beverages requiring minimal dilution; while small cubes have the highest ratio and are great for drinks where more dilution is preferred.”
