Works great when you follow YouTube left by another customer
Box had no instructions, but I went to the company's site on the box and saw YouTube video posted but another customer. My first batch was ugly because I'm an idiot and filled the water using the little hole in the top. That hole is for expansion people. Lol. Fill to the water line and place in freezer. It's just that simple. Let sit on counter a few minutes and it pops right out. if you run water over it, you'll cause cracks. Love this gadget. Highly recommend you use it and get it right the first time.

Colossol means Colossal means COLOSSAL.
I had a good chuckle. "Colossal" really means COLOSSAL. I do not have a single glass in my entire home that is big enough to hold 1 of these cubes! A great size for adding objects/food to the ice. I made some with cranberries and a small spring of rosemary. The size will be great for using in a pitcher/punch bowl. Nice heavy duty container. Very easy to fill. My Keurig dispenses super hot water in the exact amount needed to fill a cube to it's 'max' line. How's that for ease? I run water over the ice to get it to a size i can use.

the type and characteristics of the ice you use can have a major impact on the taste and enjoyment of your drink
In the life of the average whiskey drinker, "Good Ice" might not be the first thing that comes to mind in quality drinkcraft. But, the type and characteristics of the ice you use can have a major impact on the taste and enjoyment of your drink. And since most whiskey drinkers like their firewater without mixers, you're left with drinking the stuff neat, or on the rocks. Thus, a drink with only two ingredients: Whiskey Ice And now you see how one will inevitably consider ways to improve on how they bring the second ingredient to bear in their libation of choice. Most drinkers eventually find a bottle or style of whiskey that suits them, rendering #1 solved. And while there are those of us who are always curious and trying new bottles of the brown stuff, one can't simply think of whiskey ALL day (though I've certainly tried). Enter, accompanied by fog machines and probably lasers, the Tovolo Ice Sphere. The goal of an ice sphere is performing 3 roles in a glass of whiskey: Keep the drink chilled Melt slowly, thus maintaining said chill while keeping dilution to a minimum Look super sweet These Tovolo spheres do a thricely great job of tackling that to-do list. These bad boys turn out perfectly round spheres of ice that chill a glass of the brown stuff nicely, while dissolving slow enough to last through a second pour (don't you JUDGE me, internet). The molds come in two pieces: the clear plastic bottom, and a silicone top. The plastic bottom gets filled with water to a marked fill line, and you insert the silicone top. The silicone top has rounded sides that form the top half of the sphere and push the water upward into the sphere shape. The top has a small hole in the center so if you overfilled the excess water comes out on top of the mold. The only trick is to insert the top slow enough that water doesn't come spurting out the top, but unless you're slamming it home you've got nothing to worry about. These bad boys go in the freezer, and in a few hours you're ready to enjoy. The silicone top is flexible, which makes removing the ice from the mold easy. We've had our set for over a year with no sign of wear. Durable enough in my opinion, and at this price point if anything happened we'd just buy a new set. Highly recommended. Rating: 4.3 out of 5 Tasty Whiskeys.

Works just as advertized. Great price, fun!
These spherical ice cube makers are a lot of fun. Given that they're pretty cheap, I really wish I had bought them earlier! I was able to get significantly clearer spheres of ice when I boiled tap water before freezing (I poured it into the mold while it was still hot). Try it - one without boiling, and one with boiling (I attached a picture of the A/B test I did above)

EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
I recently started drinking The Macallan single malt Scotch. While looking at merchandise on their website, I found an ice sphere press and wanted one immediately. The problem is the price tag. The one sold by Macallan is 650 Euro which by todays exchange rates will cost you about $843. All other brands of ice sphere presses I've found ranged from $500-$1,500. I thought there had to be a better option and then I found these. These ice sphere molds work perfectly. Use as directed and you will achieve a clear practically perfect 2.5" sphere of ice each time. Durable and well contructed from food grade materials. You'll get clearer ice if you use filtered or boiled water. If prefered, you can even add fruit and stuff into the molds for presentation. This morning, I used 2 spheres to chill a very large cafe latte. I would normally fill almost the entire glass with regular ice and then have to add more ice half way through cause it melted. These spheres worked perfectly. Hardly any dilution of my espresso and by the time I finished there were still 2 resonably large ice spheres in my glass that I could have continued to use in a refill. These things are just brilliant! I have no idea why anyone would ever spend $500-$1500 for a press when they could have these. These are perfect to chill your liquor or any beverage you prefer to not become diluted. Someone rated this product at 2 stars. If you actually read their review you'll understand that the person is an idiot. If the 2.5" ice sphere doesn't fit your glass, use a different glass. If you don't want your beverage to splash, put the ice in first. It's just common sense.

Great design & easy to use.
Simply put: great design, easy to use, quick delivery. What more can you ask for! Details: easy to understand instructions, takes approximately 6 hours to freeze completely (with no air pockets) even after reading the measurements in the description they're bigger than I thought, yay I won't comment on clear or cloudy ice as tap water varies greatly but I'm pleased I definitely recommend this brand. I purchased this one as a gift and will purchase more for myself.

Great touch to serving our guests' drinks
These round ice cube molds are very easy to use and clean. The large round cubes pop right out of the mold after a quick rinse under warm water. Still trying to find the best way to produce crystal clear ice balls - I've tried Brita filtered water, boiled water and distilled water (the latter are in the freezer right now, so we'll see what happens. None have been completed clear as yet. I've been told the best way is to float the molds in water in a small cooler chest/bag in the freezer, but I don't have the cooler. My freezer is pretty cold and might just freeze the water that the molds are floating in). Regardless of my experimenting - the molds are great even if they're producing some cloudy ice balls at the moment. I can't comment as to their durability as I haven't had them all that long, but I don't see why they shouldn't last a long time with just a little care in handling them.

Perfect for cocktails!
This is the perfect home addition for anyone that enjoys a well-made chilled drink without worrying about it getting watered down too quickly! I regularly use these for Old Fashioned's as well as any Scotch I don't want to have neat nor overly diluted. These are a quick fill in the sink (unless you are trying to get super clear, which you then need to pre-boil and use distilled water if you have it). And they stack well in the freezer so you don't lose too much shelf space between the random instances you decide to use them. When it is time to use, just a quick run of hot water over the mold does the trick and the spheres pop right out!

Looks Cool and Really Works Well -- Better than others I have tried and reviewed
The Tovolo Sphere ice molds are hard to beat for the price. They arrive packaged well with decent instructions printed on the box. Anybody who has grown up with Tupperware will know how to use them right out of the box. I ordered (2) sets to start with and have since ordered more not only for me and the wife; but have sent them as gifts to other single malt drinkers as well. Rather then sit here and describe them....instead here are some tips to get them to perform: 1. Use distilled water -- if you want clear ice and no taste except the whiskey in your glass. Some people say purified or tap water is fine; but I have found that the ice still comes out with impurities and irregularities everytime I use anything other than distilled water. 2. The "fill" line on these are kind of funny. The fill line is not the line that you see going around the mold; but is instead just about to the top of the oval line that you will see on the inside as you pour the water in. Don't worry, once you see them you will understand what I am talking about. 3. When running "warm" water over the mold to take out the ice -- Read carefully! Run your warm water over the soft silicone lid first and most (the dark colored part) because it just takes a little longer to get the soft silicone to release than it does the hard plastic part of the mold. 4. When running the "warm" water over the silicone lid -- Take care not to just let the water run into the hole for expansion in the top of the lid. If you do you will create a hole inside your ice sphere. 5. MOST IMPORTANT! After you run your "warm" water all over everything and you remove the silicone top -- the ice sphere will remain inside the silicone portion of the mold and if you do not squeeze it out into the hard plastic part of the mold.... more than likely you will find yourself chasing a rolling, melting, ice sphere across your counter or across your floor and underneath a piece of furniture.... It's fast! LoL.... The Tovolo ice molds are really a very nice accent for a very nice chilled whiskey without having it watered down. Enjoy.

These are great for the price
These are great for the price. Totally changed the way I knock back pure expensive liquor. It will be cloudy, crack, and melt faster if you do it right side up. PRO TIP FOR SOLID CLEAR(er) ICE: Fill it with pre-boiled/filtered or distilled water, and place them upside down in a very small cooler with 1/2 inch of water. A cooler like this would be fine: MIER Soft Cooler Bag Small Insulated Lunch Box Bag for Kids, Girls, Boys(Green) You'll have to place your finger over the hole so it doesn't leak and make sure they stay level in the freezer. When ice crystals form, they become less dense than water, so it freezes from the top down forcing the gas to come out of solution. Placing the hole on the bottom with water to retain the seal lets the air escape. Close the cooler for slower freezing, which takes about 2-3 days depending on your temperature. See the before and after pics. You don't have to spend all the crazy money on clear ice makers.
