Does nugget ice melt faster?

We have tested this and found the ice does not melt faster.

Why is crushed ice so good?

This is because crushed ice has more surface area in contact with the liquid, speeding up the transfer of temperature between the two. The drink cools quicker.

Is nugget ice good for whiskey?

The size and density of the ice you choose is paramount when making drinks and cocktails. Large cubes melt slower, which are best for slow-sipping spirits like bourbon or whiskey.

Is nugget ice good for cocktails?

Nugget ice is the best ice for drinks that require blending because it is already a softer ice. Softer ice will help maintain the longevity and performance of blenders

Love it

I love crushed iced drinks and regularly carry a large coffee thermos around with ice cubes but they often melt in the evening. This nugget ice maker starts making ice in about 6 minutes, 20-30 gets me enough for my thermos and 1-2 hours gets you enough for about 8 thermos cup fills. These nugget ice also last a good 12-15 hours in my drink thermos where the ice cubes melt in 4-6. I’m very happy with this machine they give you ice bags and I think I only need to use it for 2x 2 hours per week to get a weeks worth of ice nuggets. One tank fill gets you about 2 hours run time. Machines noise level is similar to a kitchen extractor fan on its lowest setting , the video should give you some idea. Can’t say about longevity but it’s simpler than an ice cube/bullet machine so I would think it will last a long time. Thoroughly recommended.
