At Klaris, clear ice isn’t just what we do — it’s what we perfect. So when our community asked for a better way to create clear ice spheres, we listened. The result? The Klaris Ice Press Kit — a premium, all-in-one solution that transforms Klaris cubes into crystal-clear spheres with ease, style, and a little bit of magic.
From Feedback to Function: The Inspiration Behind the Ice Press
The idea for the Klaris Ice Press didn’t start in a boardroom — it started with you. Our community loved the pristine quality of Klaris cubes but wanted more flexibility in shape. When we looked at what was already out there, we noticed a gap: most presses weren’t compatible with our cubes, and few delivered the smooth experience we envisioned. So, we built our own.

A Reflection of Klaris Values
Every Klaris product is rooted in our brand’s core values — community, curiosity, and integrity — and the Ice Press Kit is no exception. Community sparked the idea, curiosity guided the innovation, and integrity defined the build. We chose premium materials and intentionally included everything you need right out of the box: a press, a bar mat, and tongs. No guesswork, no extra purchases — just a complete, quality solution.
What Sets It Apart?
Unlike many presses that are sold as stand-alone tools, the Klaris Ice Press Kit is a full experience. It was designed to work perfectly with our 2” cubes, delivering consistent results every time. Bonus: you can add an impression to your 2" cubes — an unexpected detail that adds a refined, signature touch to every cocktail.
Thoughtfully Designed, From the Inside Out
One of the must-haves from day one? It had to be a complete solution. That meant designing around the Klaris cube, ensuring the press was simple to use, and including high-quality accessories to make the experience seamless. Whether you’re a home enthusiast or a seasoned bartender, the Klaris Ice Press gives you another way to elevate your presentation.
And while the press itself came together smoothly, the biggest challenge? Packaging. We quickly learned how important it was to protect the fine machined details during shipping — leading to several rounds of refinement in how we box and ship each kit.
The Magic Behind the Method
Using the press is simple:
-
Start with a Klaris cube and place it diagonally in the base.
-
Set the top portion on and let the metal do its thing.
-
After about a minute, lift the top and use the included tongs to remove your flawless ice sphere.
Want to make multiple spheres? Just run the press under warm water for 30 seconds between uses to reset the temperature and keep performance consistent.
The Road to Launch: 90 Days of Hustle
Though the idea had been in the background for a while, the real momentum kicked off in November 2024. After a few frustrating dead ends with third-party manufacturers, we decided to take things into our own hands — literally. From initial sketches to final product shipping out the door, it all came together in just about 90 days. That’s the Klaris difference: fast, thoughtful, and uncompromising.
We leaned on trusted partners we’ve used for past Klaris products, giving us a head start on quality and communication. That foundation helped us move quickly, without sacrificing precision.
A New Era of Klaris
We’re thrilled to see the Klaris Ice Press Kit already making waves. Demand has exceeded expectations — we’ve sold out twice and are working around the clock to keep up. It’s clear people are excited to enhance their cocktail ritual with something that’s both functional and beautiful.
And yes — we’re already thinking about what’s next. Different sizes, new shapes, fun bundles… It’s all on our radar.
Final Scoop: What You Might Not Expect
Most products make you choose between a mold with patterns and a press that delivers clean spheres. With Klaris, you don’t have to choose. The Ice Press Kit gives you both in one smart, well-crafted package.
Cheers to What’s Next
More than anything, this launch marks an exciting evolution for Klaris. It shows how deeply we’re committed to growing with our community — not just making products, but making the experience better every time. We’re curious, creative, and always listening.
And we can’t wait to see what you create next — one flawless sphere at a time.
