Slush Machine - Suggestion / FAQ - Frequent Asked Question

What Machine Do I Need?

Firstly you need to determine what your needs are from your Granita (slush) machine:

Do you require a single bowl, double bowl, triple bowl or even 2 x twin-bowl machine?

Each additional bowl enables you to offer another exciting flavour or colour slush.

Do you plan to only sell Granita, or will a second or third bowl be used for other refrigerated beverages?

Slush machines feature both refrigeration and freezing modes; you may decide to serve a dairy-based iced coffee, or a fresh fruit juice used for making smoothies from a second or third bowl.

• Determine expected sales volume and demand from each bowl to determine a bowl size:

  • Some machines offer 5‐litre or 10‐litre bowls, and others 12‐litre bowls. Coffee shops may want to sell a high quality iced coffee (high margins, low volumes) and a 5‐litre bowl would be sufficient. This would also be the case for a bar using a natural fruit‐based slush as a base for making daiquiris or mock tails ‐ rather buy 2 x 5‐litre bowls.

  • Do you get consistent traffic flow, or large crowds coming in to your store?

  • To cater for large crowds, you will need the biggest bowl possible. From a 12‐litre bowl, you will be able to sell 36 x 330ml (11 ounce) cups before it is empty if you serve them all at the same time, with no time for re‐freezing fresh mix. It will then take up to 30 minutes min to re‐freeze mix which is refrigerated at 4 degrees C. Slush at room temperature (16 ‐ 20 degrees C.) can take up to an hour to freeze completely.
