Don't let its simple appearance fool you. The Beaumont CK717 is a proper little workhorse for any bar that doesn't need a high-volume electric machine.

  • Built to Last: The metal handle and  steel blades feel much sturdier than cheaper plastic alternatives.
  • Best for Low Volume: It’s perfect for one-off drinks but would be slow for big, simultaneous rounds.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Teapot, a quirky cocktail lounge in York, needed a way to produce consistent crushed ice for their signature gin smashes without installing a noisy, expensive electric unit behind their intimate bar.

"We were smashing ice in a tea towel before, which was messy, inconsistent, and  frankly, a bit unprofessional. The Beaumont crusher is brilliant – it sits on the back bar, takes seconds to use, and  gives us the exact same fine ice every single time. It's made our service so much slicker."

Ben Carter – Owner, The Gilded Teapot

The result was a measured reduction in drink preparation time by over 30 seconds per cocktail during peak hours, improving workflow and  customer satisfaction.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give all components a quick wipe-down with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Place the crusher on a clean, flat, and  non-porous surface like stainless steel or laminate.
  • Engage the vacuum base by pushing the side lever down firmly until it locks securely.
  • Give the unit a gentle wobble to ensure it's completely stable before you add any ice.

Keeping It Going

  • Always rinse the unit with warm water after each session to prevent mineral or sugar residue build-up.
  • Allow all parts to air dry completely before storing to protect the metal components.
  • Never put the unit in a commercial dishwasher; it is strictly hand-wash only.
  • Periodically check that the handle and  crushing mechanism are free from debris for smooth operation.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Ice Crusher

Not sure if this is the right model for you? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Volume & Speed

Manual crushers are perfect for low-volume, on-demand use. If you need buckets of crushed ice for a busy night, an electric model would be a better fit.

Counter Space

This countertop ice chipper is brilliantly compact. Always measure your available space, especially under-shelf height, before buying any new equipment.

Ice Texture

Consider the final use. This machine produces a fine, fluffy crush ideal for cocktails. Some electric machines produce larger, chunkier chips.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for simple designs that are easy to rinse through. A self-contained unit like this prevents mess, making cleanup much faster than other methods.

Power-Free Perk

The beauty of a manual machine is its total portability. It's a fantastic choice for outdoor events, food trucks, or as a reliable backup if the power goes out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What kind of ice cubes work best?

A: Standard-sized cubes from an ice machine or a domestic freezer tray are perfect. Avoid using oversized blocks as they won't fit in the hopper.

Q: How fine is the crushed ice it produces?

A: It produces a consistently fine, almost snow-like texture which is excellent for cocktails like Mojitos, Brambles, and  Juleps.

Q: Is the handle difficult to turn?

A: Not at all. The long metal handle is designed to provide good leverage, making it surprisingly easy to turn for most users.

Q: Can I put this unit in the dishwasher?

A: No, this unit is strictly hand-wash only. Dishwasher detergents and  high temperatures can damage the materials and  mechanism.

Q: What are the main components made from?

A: The main body is made from a durable, food-grade plastic, while the crushing mechanism and  blades are stainless steel for longevity and  hygiene.

Q: How much ice can it crush at once?

A: The hopper is designed to hold a good handful of cubes, which is typically enough to make one or two drinks at a time.

Q: Will the vacuum base stick to a wooden bar top?

A: It works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces like stainless steel, quartz, or laminate. It may struggle to get a perfect seal on heavily textured or untreated wood.

Q: Is this suitable for a very busy commercial pub?

A: It's an ideal commercial manual ice crusher for specific cocktails or in lower-volume settings. A pub with very high turnover might benefit from a larger, faster electric machine.
