Knowing that this is over £300, the little spike/burr on the heart seems inexcusable - if I'm spending that much, surely I should be getting absolute perfection??
Bought one of these last week. Definitely rinsing with warm water between presses dramatically speeds up the process. I bought all the shapes. The snowman is out of this world!!!!
We love our sphere press, and really wish this had been available when we made our purchase a few years back. I love the idea of interchangeable molds and would love the diamond and heart. BTW, wax seals will also work great to "brand" your ice cube. We have several. Larger seals work best, of course.
Great video, thanks for sharing! I was surprised I couldn't find a proper video on their own website... how long does it take to make a piece of ice? Is it just suction, or is it motorized? And any recommendations on what to buy to make the raw ice cubes that will fit into the mold?
@Barfly Freepour and @Truffles On The Rocks, since you know the people from Atmos you may want to tell them they can use a quick cam locking system instead of a screw lock.
How long before some guy in his garage in Des Moines takes this ice mold thingy and crosses it with a salvaged coffee maker, getting it to make molded ice cubes in seconds?
it really needs to melt away the excess ice, actual pressing you just shatter it :) but maybe one that's slightly heated to keep it constant... but then again water and extract doesn't really play well together
How big a piece of ice do you need? Will a 2" cube work or do you need larger pieces? That's about as large a clear cube as I can make in my freezer unless I took everything out to put a small igloo cooler in
I love this product! I'd definitely buy it and I'd love the clear ice - I am a stickler on terrific ice for cocktails!! Thanks for this video. It's terrific!!
Are you able to make the mold then freeze it for later? Like a week or two or even longer than that? I mean, will it still be clear as when it first came out?
Yes as long as the clear ice stays frozen from when it was milder it will stay clear. What makes the ice clear is a lack of air bubbles. If it stays frozen no air can enter so it will stay clear.
@@onlyverti I was about to say it's no surprise it costs $100+ given it has to be a big mass of aluminium for the heat transfer to melt the ice into shape. But $600? no effing way.
I just want to see how you use the diamond in a drink. If you lay it down on the 'top' of the diamond, does that mean there is a huge spike in your face when you take a sip??
Good price! I mean yes it's for ice, so you're spending a bit on something so nonchalant..but really is it that unimportant, I mean these are fantastic, beautifully artful, and have a great potential for stabbing a robber in the heart with a heart..!
It doesn’t need batteries it’s essentially a huge hunk of metal that reacts with the Ice as it presses it into the mold making a shape. It comes with a circle mold but other molds are available for purchase and you can switch them out. What’s cool about this product is that these ice presses don’t usually allow you to change the molds out
they increased the price to £400. That's around $530 USD. Ridiculous. If you can make cocktails at home, save your money and buy good ingredients. Can't go wrong with classic cubes.
Now imagine you've made a whole box of those things for a cocktail on the menu and you come in the next day only to find the freezer is on the fritz and they've all melted into one blob!
Me: Oh that looks cool, maybe I'll buy one and make some cute vday cocktails. Also me: £500? You may join the Opal on my Wishlist of Unfulfilled Orders
That’s not possible, you need a high thermally reactive metal like pure aluminum it can’t be cast due to tolerances, has to be machined...granted it also doesn’t need to be 300$ and this one takes the cake at £400+
@@epiccollision I guarantee you are talking out of your ass, but even if you aren't. Aluminium ain't that expensive and neither is Chinese machine shop labor.
yes, they are a little expensive. If you just want a sphere there are some cheaper alternatives around, but once you start looking at diamonds and other shapes, you need to get individual presses and the prices goes up by a lot. But yes, they are very very expensive.
Hi there! We really appreciate your insight on cocktails, especially making clear ice and believe our new heated ice press will be suitable for your ice.Faster than it. Is there an opportunity for us to give you one for free in exchange for your valuable words on this product? If you're interested, we'll arrange to get the ice press to you at your earliest convenience. Thanks so much!
yes, very expensive. This should not be your first bar purchase. It's definitely a luxury item. We will keep an eye for other products if we come across some
@@freepour I actually own Dave Arnold's Spinzall just for my kitchen bar, so I'm no stranger to spending stupid amounts of money for bar-gear that you, technically, don't really need. But I just can't figure out why the Atmos is so expensive. The materials aren't expensive to make and the result is one ice cube which you have to spend a lot of time waiting around for. It's a beautiful ice diamon... But it's just one. High effort, small result, huge cost, inexpensive materials.
@@freepour Maybe i've got some of this wrong though? Is it a much faster process than it looks in the video? The timelapse gave the impression that it takes a really long time.
I was all about this till I saw the price. Cool product. Delusional pricing.
I agree mate, let's just buy the cheaper one instead.
Knowing that this is over £300, the little spike/burr on the heart seems inexcusable - if I'm spending that much, surely I should be getting absolute perfection??
380 pounds for two solid blocks of aluminum is a joke
Someone post the Chinese knockoff link
I really want one. Like really really want one... But I'd be a fool to pay what they're asking for it.
Seeing the thumbnail I thought this was the ever promised diamond cutting video, and I was ridiculously impressed with how perfect it looked.
Sorry still working on learning how to do it
I think the clear ice is also huge for the presentation. The mold is really cool! But, much too expensive for what it is
some japanese bartender prefer to shape with with a knife
Bought one of these last week. Definitely rinsing with warm water between presses dramatically speeds up the process. I bought all the shapes. The snowman is out of this world!!!!
Seriously the coolest cocktail-related gadget that I've seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing!
Holy Mother of God, that thing cost 500 euro!!! And it only makes one at a time...that's insane.

I would have liked it if you would have given me a time lapse and how do you make the clear ice?
Thought: "oh a luxury ice thing must be a couple hundred bucks" *goes and looks it up* 500 euro. 🤯
Nice new Studio bar ...I wish a bar tour also , I wait for more video cocktails !!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! I was surprised I couldn't find a proper video on their own website... how long does it take to make a piece of ice? Is it just suction, or is it motorized? And any recommendations on what to buy to make the raw ice cubes that will fit into the mold?
Wish you would've explained a little bit of how it works - like to s it heated? How long does it take for 1 cube?
So funny when you see your face and you don’t expect it! We’re set for a ice battle!
Did not see that TOTR shoutout coming ^^. And did he say your name is Joao Felix (like the prodigal portuguese football player) or John Felix?
@Barfly Freepour and @Truffles On The Rocks, since you know the people from Atmos you may want to tell them they can use a quick cam locking system instead of a screw lock.
How cool is that. What a fun little gadget. I wish you would have had examples of all the shape and the Barfly image though.
we'll make some when we do cocktails on the main channel. We made two hearts (broke one) but it we ran out of ice :)
Where can I buy a multi-shaped ice press?
Haven’t been able to find this one that does the diamond. 😢
Nice. Something for the bartender who has everything.
How do I lowkey share this with everyone.
What was elapsed time to make one?
The first one took about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. The next one we did, without warming up the press, took quite a bit longer

How big a piece of ice do you need? Will a 2" cube work or do you need larger pieces? That's about as large a clear cube as I can make in my freezer unless I took everything out to put a small igloo cooler in
you probably want to go the cooler route so you can cut a price that's completely clear.
Where do you get blocks of ice?
we make them, in the freezer
Correction- the first mold is shaped like quartz crystals(hexagonal). On a side note, i so badly want something like this.
I love this so much that I’m sick! ❤️❤️❤️
I love this product! I'd definitely buy it and I'd love the clear ice - I am a stickler on terrific ice for cocktails!! Thanks for this video. It's terrific!!
Adding to the list right after the pebble ice maker ;)
How long does it to make a block? you didn't mention that
it took about 2 1/2 minutes the first time. But once the ice press was cold it took longer
Now i want one of these.

@@PoRRasturvaT Exactly mate 🤯
Someone must be buying them they are sold out. But yes I definitely think it’s pricey for ice
I just want to see how you use the diamond in a drink. If you lay it down on the 'top' of the diamond, does that mean there is a huge spike in your face when you take a sip??
lol yes, I suppose. You could just put it down though, on the side like people usually rest diamonds :) The look great in shallow coupes
Maybe point down in a martini glass
Where do you get giant squares of ice
you can often buy some at your local ice company or you can freeze your own
how long will it take to done molding?
5 minutes maybe, but it will take longer when it's cold.
How can I get that machine? for spheres and diamond 💎 ⚾️ 🧊
it's from Atmos, www.atmosicepress.co.uk fair warning, it's pricey
THE AUTOGENERATED CAPTIONS SAY "WELCOME TO BARF LIFE REPORT"

What we learned today: How to make diamonds out of water.

Good price! I mean yes it's for ice, so you're spending a bit on something so nonchalant..but really is it that unimportant, I mean these are fantastic, beautifully artful, and have a great potential for stabbing a robber in the heart with a heart..!
Does it turn on? Take batteries? How does it work? Does it include a mold to make the ice cubes before you put it in the press? Need more info!

Very cool product!
Which shape is more desirable...the sphere shaped ice or the dimond shaped ice? 🤔
Both rye about the same as far as function goes
What ice is that big
ones you freeze yourself in a cooler. Or you can buy large blocks from your local ice company
Water-coffee-and melted chocolate. Freeze, and put it in a cup of milk.
they increased the price to £400. That's around $530 USD. Ridiculous. If you can make cocktails at home, save your money and buy good ingredients. Can't go wrong with classic cubes.
Do the STAR!!! I wanna see the STAR!
Love this and want to get one.... but damn they’re expensive for a hunk of aluminum.. :(
I learned having custom ice is basically having a strangers fingers in my drink after that ice was man handled.
Wow that’s pretty cool, do you need a clear cube to begin with
Yeah you gotta use clear Ice
Rail whiskey for me until I can afford this.
Now imagine you've made a whole box of those things for a cocktail on the menu and you come in the next day only to find the freezer is on the fritz and they've all melted into one blob!

When your so rich you can buy metal teeth
so you can eat diamonds
Really cool but $550 is a little steep. I was expecting somewhere around 150

Nice shirt, The grouchier I was the more money I made, no idea why.
I want one of these soooo bad
it seems super inefficient because it takes forever to melt into the shapes. Great idea but way too time consuming.
Why lack of editing lol
I didn't know something like this existed... Now I really want one... Then I checked the price... What have you done to my wallet Leandro!!!
That's a bit more luxury than I am wiling to spend.
we totally understand :)
So you're making big chunks of ice to crush into shapes...or are you buying huge square ice
Making it, it's very easy
These videos just keep cominnnnn!
Have you hired an editor since this video?
No, same same.
I think you would be better off just hiring a day labors to whittle ice for you on the weekends.
Ah jeeze. That pricepoint is STEEP.
Incredible product though. I might be willing to save for one.
良いですね－。日本で売っていますか？みたことがないです。面白い機械ですね。
500 bucks, that's insanity
I'll hold out for the 40 dollar chinese knock off. lol

"Money well spent" Its 450 pounds or over 600 USD. I hope you will use it everyday then.
That's 😎!
Why are u rememberd me HANGOVER movie Alan
Wow
Was sold, ready to pay like 200 bucks for that....... then I looked up the price

I find whisky stones less offensive than the price of this press
I bought a bunch of these, they are great and at an affordable price.
Says he has enough ice 2 show 2 more and doesn't show the star lmao
Are you a fan of The Masterson's?
Like the country band from NYC?
So you have weight and gravity that's commen but price is uncommen
the audio at 5:05 was painful lol
Dope
instead of that put water in diamond shape vessel and put in freezer.
It will be hard to get it that clear with an ice mold. But yes, that's also an option :)
Too long for one dumb ice piece, too expensive for a dumb ice shaper that takes for ever to make one single piece at a time

That's sweet! (Checks site.... $700).... yeah nah
we hear ya. The things are pretty expensive, but overall this one is actually more affordable than some others if you want to make different shapes.
Salud🍻
That is one seriously overpriced product. I’ll wait for the inevitable version that normal people can afford.
It is very expensive, most ice presses are unfortunately. They are still very niche products.
Save yourself a go of money and find a friend at that works at a machine shop. These things are insanely overpriced
You should smile more
