Klaris Mini

After completing a freeze cycle, the machine will keep your ice frozen for up to 24 hours. The longer the cubes remain in the hold cycle, the more the top surface may begin to deform. After the hold expires, the machine will enter a timeout error state and stop actively freezing — the ice will begin to melt but can still be used.

For optimal performance and average cycle times of around 8 hours, operate the Klaris Mini in environments between 68–74°F (20–23°C).

While the Klaris Mini is now more resilient in warmer conditions, higher temperatures will still increase freeze times. Temperatures above 74°F can extend cycle times by up to 4 hours. We strongly recommend avoiding use in environments exceeding 80°F (27°C) or with humidity levels above 90%, as both factors can significantly hinder ice production.

The Delayed Start feature allows you to schedule your ice-making cycle to finish at a more convenient time. When enabled, the machine will wait 4 hours before starting.

The Klaris Mini comes with a 1-year warranty and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Our Minnesota-based support team responds within 24 business hours—we’re always happy to help and committed to making things right.

Klaris is currently only available in the U.S. However, the Klaris Mini has been redesigned to adapt easily to international standards, and we plan to expand globally in 2026.

International customers may use a freight forwarder, but please note that while we offer remote technical support, we aren’t responsible for international shipping costs if service is needed.

We currently do not offer discounts or bulk pricing. If you're a retailer interested in wholesale opportunities, please contact us at info@craftklaris.com.

The Klaris Mini is ideal for apartments, home bars, or any space where space is at a premium. It also features a wider operating temperature range, making it more resilient in warmer environments.

To ensure quality and scale production responsibly, Klaris uses a wave-based pre-sale system. When you pre-purchase, you reserve your spot in line and are assigned a delivery wave. Your wave and estimated delivery window will be clearly communicated at checkout, and we’ll keep you updated as your wave progresses.

The Klaris Mini produces our iconic 2" cube. Collins cubes are only available with the original Klaris. You can still use post-processing tools like the ice press or hammer & mallet to create spheres, shards, or crushed ice.

The indicator light turns from blue to green when your ice is ready. It will stay green for 24 hours before switching to a timeout state.

For the initial launch, the Klaris Mini is available exclusively in black. We may introduce additional color options in the future based on community interest and demand.

Yes — the Klaris Mini is designed to fit comfortably under most standard kitchen cabinets. With the lid open, it stands at just 13" tall, which is significantly shorter than the original Klaris model's 19" open height. This means you can open the lid fully without needing to move the machine out from under the counter.

For reference, the typical space between a countertop and upper cabinets is around 18 inches.

When you first receive your Klaris Mini, we recommend hand-washing the tray and insert with warm water and dish soap. The interior of the lid can be cleaned with a damp towel.

For ongoing maintenance:

• Hand-wash every 5–10 freeze cycles
  
• Wipe down as needed
  

Regular cleaning helps maintain performance and ensures your ice stays crystal clear.

Yes — the Klaris Mini is designed for continuous use. You can run multiple batches back-to-back without issue.

The Klaris Mini is designed specifically for freezing water. In most cases, tap water works perfectly fine. However, in areas with high mineral content, you may get better clarity and performance by using purified or distilled water.

Please note: some home water filters only remove harmful chemicals but do not eliminate all minerals, which can still affect ice clarity or performance.
