COTLIN Launches IMB55 Undercounter Bullet Ice Maker: Advanced Spray System Brings Ultra-Clear, High-End Bullet Ice to the Home Bar
COTLIN 15" Undercounter Ultra-Clear Bullet Ice Maker (IMB55) is a front-venting, built-in/freestanding unit that makes ultra-clear bullet ice, stores up to 26 lbs, and supports one-touch self-cleaning—UL/ETL certified for added confidence.
FREMONT, CA, February 21, 2026 -- As home entertaining becomes less about special occasions and more about everyday moments, homeowners are paying closer attention to details that quietly shape the experience.
But ice—often—remains an afterthought.
Most people don't notice the problem right away. A drink looks right when it's poured. The first sip tastes fine. But as the glass sits, something shifts. Aromas soften. Balance fades. By the final sip, the drink no longer tastes the way it was intended.
The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker was designed to address that overlooked detail. COTLIN introduces the 15" Undercounter Ultra-Clear Bullet Ice Maker (IMB55), built for home bars, entertaining spaces, and small kitchen settings. Designed to address the common complaint of "cloudy, fast-melting ice" produced by standard freezing methods.
What Makes the Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker Different
Most residential ice is frozen quickly and unevenly. During rapid freezing, air pockets and dissolved minerals become trapped inside the ice. These internal imperfections increase surface area, causing ice to melt faster once it enters a drink.
The result is gradual dilution—not dramatic, but cumulative. Over time, it changes how a drink smells, tastes, and finishes. The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker was designed to slow that process down.
Unlike traditional bullet ice machines that often produce cloudy, fragile ice due to rapid freezing that traps air bubbles, the Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker utilizes an advanced spray-type ice-making method. This spray system keeps water in constant motion as it freezes, allowing dissolved gases to escape and resulting in clearer, fuller-bodied bullet ice. This "ultra-clear" density helps premium drinks like whiskey, cocktails, and iced coffee stay closer to their original flavor profile for longer, resisting the "watery" finish typical of standard ice.
Advanced Spray System
Using an advanced spray system that allows water to freeze more gradually and evenly inside individual bullet molds. During production, excess minerals are rinsed away rather than locked inside the ice.
This continuous movement serves two critical functions:
1. It prevents dissolved gases from adhering to the forming ice surface, and it allows excess minerals to be rinsed away rather than locked inside.
2. The result is ice that freezes uniformly from core to surface, creating the structural density and optical clarity that define ultra-clear ice.
Each bullet ice measures ODΦ1.1" × 1.50" (ODΦ30×38mm)—generously sized, brilliantly transparent ice that catches light like cut crystal.
Ice That Doesn't Interrupt the Moment
For hosts, ice problems tend to surface at the worst possible time—mid-conversation, mid-pour.
IMB55 is designed to stay ahead of typical home entertaining demands:
- Produces up to 52 lbs of ice per day
- Stores 26 lbs internally
- Automatically stops when full and resumes production as ice is used
Control When You Want It
An intuitive LCD control panel displays real-time ice-making status and settings at a glance. Users can adjust ice thickness across 9 levels, allowing ice behavior to be tailored to different drinks—from slow-sipping whiskey to cocktail service.
A built-in 12-hour timer makes it easy to align ice production with daily routines, helping manage energy use during off-hours without sacrificing availability.
The reversible door design offers installation flexibility—configure the door to open left or right depending on your kitchen or bar layout, ensuring seamless integration into any space.
And for long-term peace of mind, the Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker is UL certified, meeting established safety and electrical standards expected of permanent undercounter appliances in residential environments.
Built for Long-Term, Low-Attention Use
Ice quality depends not only on how ice is made, but on how clean the system remains over time.
The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker is designed to reduce maintenance friction through features that quietly support long-term use:
1) Auto One-Touch Self-Cleaning: A single-button automatic cycle flushes the water reservoir and ice-making components, removing mineral buildup without disassembly.
2) Hidden Filter Design: Unlike most undercounter ice makers that require external filtration systems or clunky attachments, the Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker features a discreet internal compartment for water filter installation. This keeps the unit visually clean and allows for quick, tool-free filter swaps without disrupting the installation or exposing plumbing connections.
3) Smart Filter Replacement Reminder: The LCD control panel tracks filter lifespan and alerts users when replacement is due.
Designed to Fit the Space It Belongs In
The Cotlin IMB55 Ice Maker is purpose-built for undercounter installation, measuring 14.9"W × 22.6"D × 34"H to fit comfortably beneath standard countertops. Its front-facing ventilation system requires no side or top clearance, allowing seamless integration into kitchens, home bars, and entertainment areas—whether built in or used as a freestanding unit.
