Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Kuper Clear Sphere Ice Machine — the world's first fully automatic machine for making the perfect clear ice sphere.
How do I get pricing?
Contact us for pricing and full specifications, and we'll help you find the right fit for your bar, hotel, or venue.
How much will it save me versus buying craft ice?
That depends on your price per sphere and weekly volume. Use our Payback Calculator to estimate how quickly the machine pays for itself.
Can I see the machine in action?
We don't currently offer standalone demos, but you can watch the KI-100SP63 at work in the videos on our website, and see it in person at the trade shows we attend. Contact us to find out where to see it next.
What are the power and utility requirements?
The machine runs on a dedicated 115V / 60Hz, 20-amp circuit and needs a water supply and drain connection. Full install specs are on our Installation Views page.
What are the machine's dimensions?
The KI-100SP63 stands about 41 inches high — sized to fit under a standard bar counter — and measures 36 inches wide by 24 inches deep. Its compact stainless-steel footprint fits cleanly into front-of-house or back-bar installations.
How is clear ice made?
Clear ice forms when water freezes cleanly, without trapping air or impurities. The KI-100SP63 makes it by continuously running water over a cold surface so the ice builds up layer by layer, then gently defrosts and handles each sphere so it stays perfectly clear.
What makes the KI-100SP63 stand out?
A few things set the Kuper Clear Sphere Ice Machine apart: proprietary ice-formation technology delivers consistent, flawless clarity with no cracks or clouding; a precision defrost cycle keeps every sphere uniform in shape and size; temperature-regulated storage keeps perfect spheres ready to serve as you need them; and a compact footprint fits cleanly under bar counters.
Is the machine fully automatic?
Yes. The Kuper Clear Sphere Ice Machine is fully automatic — it freezes, forms, and releases finished spheres with no molds to fill, no hand-carving, and no manual intervention.
What size are the spheres, and why spheres?
Each one is a perfect 2.5-inch clear sphere — the most desired and most efficient format for premium cocktails and spirits. A sphere melts slower than cubed ice, chilling the drink without diluting it.
How many clear ice spheres can the KI-100SP63 make?
The KI-100SP63 produces up to 104 crystal-clear 2.5-inch spheres every 24 hours, and holds up to 48 finished spheres in its temperature-controlled storage tray — ready to serve on demand.
