So, how much does a Twice The Ice machine cost? About $3,000 to $5,000 upfront, plus another $1,500 in installation and maintenance in the first year. That’s roughly the price of a weekend in Vegas, except you come home with ice instead of a hangover. Or you could just buy a $20 ice bucket and a bag of cubes from the gas station. Your call.
But here’s the thing: there’s a certain magic to having unlimited ice at your fingertips. It’s the same magic that makes you smile when you open your fridge and see a full gallon of milk. It’s pure, unearned luxury. And if you can afford that luxury without eating ramen for a month, then go for it. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you when the ice tastes faintly of copper for one weird week.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go shake my freezer’s ice tray like a maraca and pretend I don’t know what I’m missing.
