Choose the Perfect Ice Type for Every Application
The ice type your machine produces shapes everything from drink quality to food display and customer perception, which is why choosing the right format matters as much as choosing the right capacity. GoFoodservice offers commercial ice machines organized by the ice they make - cube, nugget, flake and gourmet - so you can match production to exactly how your bar, restaurant or market uses ice every shift, from the first morning prep through the late-night last call.
Cube ice is the versatile default, cooling beverages slowly to preserve drink integrity, with crescent and full-cube variants suited to high-volume beverage service and ice dispensing. Nugget ice, the soft chewable format guests love, cools drinks fast and suits healthcare, convenience stores and casual-dining operations that compete on the ice itself. Flake ice hugs the contours of seafood, produce and salad-bar displays to hold temperature without bruising delicate product, while gourmet ice delivers the slow-melting, crystal-clear presentation that elevates premium cocktails and upscale table service.
Not sure which ice format fits your concept? Our guide on which ice type is best for your restaurant breaks down cube, nugget, flake and gourmet ice by application, melt rate and beverage pairing, so you can choose with confidence before you shop. Once you know the format, select the machine by cooling style - undercounter, air-cooled, water-cooled or remote-condenser - to match your available space, ambient kitchen conditions and daily ice volume.
The right ice type supports your menu, service style and customer expectations while keeping operations efficient and sanitary. Beyond the machines themselves, explore our commercial ice equipment and supplies for bins, scoops and transport, and ice bins and dispensers to store and serve ice safely at the point of use. Reach out to our team for help sizing a complete ice program around the format your operation runs on.
