This thing is a game-changer for my whiskey nights. The ice sphere actually stays in the glass longer than regular cubes, and it looks incredibly sophisticated. Worth every penny.

Sphere Press — Aircraft-Aluminum Ice Ball Maker
For the slow pour and the good glass. Hand-pressed 2.4-inch ice spheres in under a minute.
- 2.4-inch ice ball diameter — larger surface-to-volume ratio slows melt rate vs. standard square cubes
- 40–60 seconds per ball — no electricity, no waiting, just gravity and metal conductivity
- Aerospace-grade aluminum construction — durable enough for repeated daily use
- Non-slip surface coating — stays in place on wet bar counters or cutting boards
- Internal grooved mold design — upper and lower halves lock tight for a perfectly round, seamless ball

Details
For the slow pour, the good glass, the better ice.
Pour a finger of whiskey. Set the glass down. Lower the press onto a rough cube and watch a clear, round sphere appear in under a minute — the kind of ice that turns a Tuesday into something quieter.
Machined from aerospace-grade aluminum with a non-slip finish, the press uses gravity and the metal's natural cold-conductivity to shape a 2.4-inch ball with a grooved internal mold. Slower melt. Softer dilution. A small ritual worth keeping.
Why we love it
- Slower melt — a round sphere has less surface area than cubes, so your drink stays cold without watering down
- Forty-to-sixty-second pour — gravity and chilled aluminum shape the ice while you set the glass
- Grooved inner mold — locks the halves together for a tight, fully round finish
- Aerospace-grade aluminum build — heavy enough to press cleanly, light enough to lift one-handed
- Non-slip coated surface — steady grip on the counter, even with wet hands

Common questions
How long does one ice ball actually take?
About 40 to 60 seconds from a rough cube to a finished sphere. If you're pressing back-to-back, soak the mold in warm water between rounds so it doesn't stay frozen shut.
Do I need a special ice cube to start?
No — any cube larger than the sphere cavity works. The press trims it down to a clean 2.4-inch ball. Clearer starting ice gives a clearer finished sphere.
Will it scratch my bar or counter?
The base has a non-slip coating that protects most surfaces, but we'd still set it on a bar mat or folded towel if your counter is delicate stone or wood.

I was skeptical at first, but watching that clear ball form in seconds is weirdly satisfying. The aluminum gets cold fast and the non-slip grip means I'm not fumbling around. My guests are obsessed with it.
Really solid product. The ice balls are beautiful and melt slower than expected. Only thing is you need to use decent ice cubes to start with, or it doesn't work as smoothly.
Honestly transformed my at-home cocktail experience. The aerospace-grade aluminum feels premium and cold to the touch. It's become my favorite bar tool.
