Today we are talking about Opal Countertop Nugget Ice Maker, a machine capable of generating chewy ice (also known as “nugget ice“) that is reaping quite a lot of success in Indiegogo.
Although chewy ice is not a new concept, the price of this type of portable ice machine is usually really high. If we focus on the main characteristics of Opal, the machine has a number of peculiarities that make it a very interesting product. As we mentioned, it is capable of creating ice designed to be chewed (inside it has 50% air). This type of ice is capable of absorbing the flavor of the drinks, which is interesting considering that we can use the machine to create ice with any type of liquid (water, juices, soft drinks, etc.).
As for its use, it is quite simple. In fact, you simply have to fill the removable tray with water or another liquid and wait for the ice to be generated: the machine only takes 15 minutes to create an ice glass, being able to generate up to 4 glasses per hour.
If we focus on its total capacity, it can store up to 1.36kg of ice (for which 6 glasses of water must be added). Lastly, it is important to note that the machine needs to be connected to a 120V power source to function.
