As a beverage lover, you know how important the ice is. We are so proud to introduce GLAZER Press to you – The new generation of ICE PRESS. This product possesses both efficiency and creativity. With different metal inserts, it makes ices into various shapes in a very short time. 

Let’s see why we need GLAZER Press. It’s not just a ice press but a game-changer in its field.

Ice press has been existing in the market for a long time, widely used by bartenders and home bartending enthusiasts. Despite the fact that most of the presses are able to make a perfect ice sphere, we have encountered several problems. The most remarkable issue is large time consumption. The pressing time is determined by many factors, such as the ambient temperature and whether it is preheated, etc. In some inappropriate situations, it may take more than 20 minutes to finish the pressing, which is really terrible. It cannot be used back-to-back: waiting for the ice press warm-up can be so long. Moreover, most of the ice presses are made of metal, resulting in high cost and heavy weight.

GLAZER Press is a revolutionary ice press, which greatly shortens the ice pressing time to nearly 2 minutes through its Dynamic Melting System and innovatively extracts the ice inserts from the current ice presses. This innovation fosters greater creative freedom and significantly mitigates the manufacturing cost of metal, resulting in a lighter and more portable gadget. We aim to redefine ice pressing, seeking to open up a new world of transparent ice making and promising an experience for every supporter.

We are deeply grateful to our first batch of users for embracing GLAZER Press, even in its early stages, and for sharing their authentic experiences. Their support and feedback are invaluable to us. Let’s hear what they have to say about GLAZER Press!

GLAZER Press is a game-changing innovation product in ice pressing field. Reducing the amount of metal used allows for the creation of unique ice shapes like skulls, diamonds, etc. With the cutting-edge Dynamic Melting System, it takes less than 3 minutes to curve the ice, delivering a brilliant ice-pressing experience.

Nowadays, ice presses are mainly utilized in bars and related places due to its high cost (whose price can reach 1500 USD if the whole body of the machine is copper). We are trying to reduce the proportion of metal so that customers can avoid paying for the expensive but unnecessary materials. 

Thanks to the reduced size of metal inserts, we got the opportunity to make more inserts to make more ice in different shapes, such as skulls, diamonds ,etc.

When using traditional ice presses, you will find that after a single pressing, it becomes frozen, rendering it temporarily unusable until it reaches an suitabletemperature for the next pressing process.

To address this issue, we’ve figured out an innovative solution – Dynamic Melting System.

Rest assured, the heating feature of GLAZER Press only activates when you need it. Our Dynamic Melting Device guarantees a flawless shape within merely 2 minutes, striking the delicate balance between preventing ice cubes from overheating due to excessive temperatures and avoiding delays in pressing time caused by insufficient warmth.

Everything operates in optimal conditions, and every second of pressing has been precisely considered.

We consistently adhere to our own design principles, embodying the company’s “N+1” work philosophy and product vision while prioritizing an extra step for the benefit of our users. This dedication has resulted in innovative designs, all of which have been endorsed by GLAZER Press.

Because of the heavy weight and lack of design considerations, the current ice press requires both hands to hold it when moving or transporting, which is troublesome.

To enhance user convenience, we’ve innovatively added a rotary button switch to the top of GLAZER Press, and it will be locked when you rotate it clockwise. With this improvement, using the ice press is a breeze. Simply unlock it to begin and effortlessly secure it with just one hand for swift transportation after use. This not only simplifies storage but also makes it easier to use, especially outdoors.

GLAZER Press adopts minimalism and intuitive button design. The light will show you the condition of the product.

When GLAZER Press is plugged, the light turns on and enters the standby state; when you are planning to press an ice or change inserts, the light will be in a breathing state, and the light turns red after pressing the button switch for up to 3 seconds. Also, you can disturb the process anytime with a single click and wait for the light to turn white. Once the process is complete, the light turns calm blue, signaling that the ice is ready for use.

The inserts of GLAZER Press utilize magnetic suction and pin shaft for double positioning assistance. Reserved finger spaces around the fitting parts allow for easy replacement of inserts.

GLAZER Press utilizes high-power and Dynamic Melting System, safety is our foremost priority during the design phase. We employ a rigorous, fully enclosed design for water and electricity isolation and implement numerous redundant safety measures in our electrical components to ensure precise control and protect against overheating temperatures. As a result of these design considerations, GLAZER Press effortlessly cleared the IP65 waterproof test.

The interior of GLAZER Press is meticulously crafted with a comprehensively enclosed design, which rigorously isolates water and electricity. Even water vapor has difficulty entering the electrical component area to ensure absolute safety during the entire use.

GLAZER Press is equipped with a multi-tiered temperature sensing and protection system, along with strict heating activation judgments. This ensures that the temperature on the surface remains below 86.0 °F(30°C) when you stop heating or change inserts. No worry about the uncertainties, the lamp will tell you when it is safe to touch.

As for the judgements, the GLAZER Press initiates heating only upon pressing the handle. And then, the Dynamic Melting System activates. Once the procession is done, heating ceases instantly, safeguarding against burns and preserving the intactness of the ice shape. Also, you can pause heating whenever it is needed: click the button to stop heating and restart it by pressing the button and holding for another 3 seconds. Customers are allowed to touch the surfaces and inserts once the lamp displays calm blue.

GLAZER Press is IP65-rated, ensuring its resilience even in challenging conditions. From home bars and outdoor camping trips to poolside parties and private yachts, it adapts to various scenarios and demonstrates its superb performance.

GLAZER Press incorporates metal materials in critical components with the same coating process as the faucet, enhancing both its texture and corrosion resistance. Thanks to the replaceable inserts, it can be disassembled and cleaned individually. Moreover, any residual water on the press can also be easily wiped away. This guarantees the ongoing maintenance of cleanliness for GLAZER Press.

We firmly believe that the inserts can be endlessly crafted and innovated, and we invite developers from all backgrounds to collaborate with us to revolutionize GLAZER Press inserts. We will take great care of your ideas and opinions on the new inserts, unveiling new inserts that align with your satisfaction at the appropriate moment.

GLAZER Press is made and cultivated just like our children. Our goal is to distinguish it from existing ice presses. To achieve this, we used all-metal materials to ensure a refined tactile experience. Simultaneously, we strategically reduced the weight of non-supported internal components to improve comfort and ease of operation.

In our metal fabrication process, we utilize metal extrusion for the housing and CNC machining for both inserts and heat transfer components. Furthermore, we employ various techniques, including grinding, sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), and hard oxidation for surface treatment, ensuring that the texture of GLAZER Press meets and exceeds both your and our expectations.

Regarding hardware design, we integrate top-tier control chips from Europe. Paired with the exceptional design skills of our hardware engineers and robust materials, we effortlessly manage intricate PCBA designs.
