I've been a craft cocktail and clear ice enthusiast for years. Until now, I've been using the popular silicone molds that have been on the market for years. These worked okay, but they take a lot of practice and patience to get good results. It's a balancing act between freezer temperature, water temperature and time. The biggest issue is there's no way to know when the ice is ready to harvest. Take it out of the freezer too soon and you get partially formed shapes. Take it out too late and the bottom half of the shapes are cloudy. When a batch doesn't turn out right, it's a wasted 36 hours. When a batch does turn out well, there's always some trace of streaks or air bubbles, and then you have to trim the nubs off with a knife!

Not anymore! Since I discovered Klaris my ice program is 100% on auto pilot with absolutely perfect results each and every time. It's easy and stress free. The ice that Klaris produces is always perfectly clear. It's easy to use and there's no practice involved. Anyone can harvest a professional batch of craft ice in about 8-10 hours.

To start a batch just place the inserts in the tray, fill it with water, tap out the air bubbles, place tray in machine, turn on, and that's it! I set a 10 hour timer on my phone. When the timer goes off the batch is always ready to be harvested!

To harvest, you merely lift the tray out, pour out the water on the top where all the impurities have collected, then remove the cubes from the tray. The easiest way I've…

I have been passionate about making clear ice since I started creating cocktails at home in the early 2000s. I’ve tried about every method, including employing directional freezing in coolers during the winter. No tool or technique ever really checked all the boxes, until Klaris. I have really enjoyed how easy the whole process is from start to beautiful, crystal clear cube finish. I would recommend this clear ice maker to anyone looking for a quality, start-and-forget solution.

Where do I even start … A few years ago I took some interest in cocktail making at home. It somehow evolved into a lifestyle 🤣 I know have a bar room, antique glassware, any spirit your heart desires, tons of bar tools, dehydrated garnish etc .. I have it all!

I even had 6-8 ice molds to create that clear ice .. I could never really find that consistent 100% clear ice mold.. You need space for these molds.. I was really seeking that clear ice .. I decided to use ice coolers and do it the old fashioned way.. I hand cut my ice and even at that point, it was really hard to get the perfect cube. It was a lot of time, freezer space, efforts and clean up..

That was before KLARIS!! The game changer.. I literally love, love this machine! It elevated my cocktails for sure 😎

Before I only used my ice cubes for special occasions (it’s hard to pump out ice cubes when you are doing it with coolers and hand cutting each piece). This machine allows me to stick pile .. I don’t break out the clear ice only for only special occasions... I use it for shaking .. they discuss the importance of that fresh ice when doing stirred or shaken cocktails. The presentation can only be at a high level with clear ice .. Period!

I can now use clear ice in the entire process of making a high quality cocktail and I couldn’t do that with out this machine.

Klaris did it. They figured out how to make clear ice at home in a countertop appliance. Highly recommended. My entire family is now on a clear ice kick, and I have to make two rounds per day to keep up with demand. Secondly, I want to highlight that I received excellent customer support addressing any and all concerns or questions I had. Thank you Klaris team.

A couple years ago, I searched for affordable clear-ice-making machines and found... $2,000-3,000 industrial machines about the size of a barbecue.

So I was immediately mind-blown when late last summer, I stumbled on CraftKlaris. Not only was it affordable, it produced ready-to-use cubes (no cutting required).

In my few months I've had it, it has 100% met my high expectations; in fact the CraftKlaris team has exceeded them. Their founder Chase took time personally to respond to all my inquiries. In my opinion they've earned all the success they've had and more.

If you want a product that's a breeze to use, *and* above-and-beyond customer service... go with CraftKlaris.
