He loves to drink them but I think he loves to make them more.
Crushed ice is the integral part of cocktail making and he'd been making crushed ice by hitting a bag full of ice with my rolling pin. It caused huge noise and of course my rolling pin was destroyed.
Last summer, I couldn't stand the noise and the sight of damaged rolling pin anymore and got this for JC: Twinbird Ice Crusher.
Just throw the ice from top of the machine and turn the handle. It still makes some noise but my rolling pin is safe now and the ice seems much nicer. They are crushed into evenly smaller pieces.
Cocktail made with the ice from this machine melt gradually and does not dilute the flavor.
I can't explain scientifically but it does taste different.
When I was looking for the ice crusher, the biggest concern was durability.
Twinbird is a company in Tsubame city, Niigata.
This city is known for its metalworking therefore I assumed that the metal part of the machine would be durable.
We've been using this for a year, probably once a week on average.
It's still working fine.
