[Cold drinking ice] What are the differences between ice cube and crescent ice?

Ice cube: short ice making time, fast cooling of drinks

Ice cube is the “open ice” that we often find in cold drinks. It mainly uses the principle of water cooling, so that the ice can be condensed into ice in a short time, so that it can quickly ice. In addition, the choice of different daily ice production can meet the needs of different cold drinking ice, and set different ice thickness according to the needs of different cold drinks.

Due to the same shape, the hollow ice cubes have a larger surface area than the solid ice cubes, so the beverage can be cooled down more quickly. For example, 10 pieces of hollow ice can reduce the 500 ml drink to zero in 5 seconds, while 10 pieces of solid ice take 15 seconds.

Crescent ice, which is what everyone calls solid ice, can reach temperatures of minus 7°, but because solid ice is 30% larger than hollow ice, solid ice keeps drinks at zero for longer. Moreover, the curved shape of the crescent ice looks beautiful and has a certain ornamental value.

Therefore, in the high-end places such as cafes or bars, which are mainly based on the guest experience, the crescent ice is also selected as the ice demand for cold drinks.
