Klarstein 2L Countertop Ice Maker, 12 kg Bullet Ice, Cold Water Dispenser

Bullet ice is ready in around 10 minutes, giving you a practical way to chill drinks without waiting for trays to freeze. The Klarstein countertop ice maker has a 2-litre capacity, makes around nine cubes per cycle and can produce 12 kg of ice in just over a day. It also dispenses cold water, so it can serve more than one purpose when preparing drinks at home.

Its compact countertop design leaves space for other kitchen tasks, while the stainless steel body and ice tray are easy to clean. The machine makes bullet-shaped ice for everyday drinks and cocktails, with audible alerts to help you keep track of the water level.

Worth noting

Getting started is straightforward: fill the machine manually with water, close the lid and press start. Ice production begins in around 10 minutes, making this useful when you want to serve a chilled drink without planning far ahead. Each cycle produces roughly nine cubes, and the stated output is 12 kg in just over a day, so it can keep a supply of ice coming for regular home use.

The 2-litre capacity supports that repeat use, while the cold-water dispensing function gives you another way to enjoy a chilled drink. For a kitchen where freezer space is already in use, a countertop machine offers a different approach from storing bags of ice or filling trays in advance: make bullet ice when needed, then serve it with water or a favourite drink. Its stainless steel body and ice tray are designed for easy cleaning after use.

Who it’s for

This Klarstein model suits households that regularly serve chilled drinks, make cocktails or want ice available for guests. It is also useful for a kitchen counter where a compact appliance is preferable to setting aside freezer space for trays. The cold-water dispenser adds everyday convenience, while the alerts provide a clear reminder when the water tank is full or needs a refill.

Usage tips

Place the machine on the counter, fill it with water by hand, close the lid and press start. Allow around 10 minutes for the first ice, then use the ongoing production to build up a supply for drinks. The machine sounds an alert when the water tank is full to help prevent overfilling, another alert indicates that the water level is low and a refill is needed. These reminders make it easier to keep the ice-making process moving during a get-together or while preparing drinks through the day.

After use, the stainless steel body and ice tray are easy to clean. Keeping the appliance ready on the counter makes it convenient to prepare bullet ice for soft drinks, water and cocktails, as well as to dispense cold water directly.

Should you buy it?
