Cube Ice Machines

Choosing the Right Cube Ice Machine

When choosing a cube ice machine, the most important thing to check is how much ice your business needs per day. A small café may only need a compact underbench ice maker for iced drinks and table service, while a busy bar, hotel, restaurant or takeaway shop may need a larger commercial ice machine with higher daily production and more storage capacity.

Cube ice is one of the most versatile ice types used in hospitality. It melts slower than smaller ice styles, holds its shape well in drinks, and gives beverages a clean, professional presentation. This makes cube ice machines suitable for soft drinks, cocktails, iced coffee, juice bars, food service counters and general commercial kitchen use.

Before buying, consider the available space, ventilation requirements, plumbing access, drainage and whether an underbench or modular ice machine best suits your setup. If your venue has peak rush periods, it is usually better to choose a cube ice maker with enough production and bin capacity to cover your busiest service, not just your average daily use.
