Zephyr Introduces the Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine

Panel-ready design, crystal-clear ice, flexible drainage, and intuitive controls bring a polished new upgrade to home entertaining

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zephyr, the company that has transformed the kitchen through design, discovery, and customer care, today announced the introduction of its first Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine. The 15-inch, panel-ready appliance produces crystal-clear, slow-melting cubes designed to keep beverages colder longer while reducing dilution. With its flexible installation options and an elevated design, the Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine is ideal for home bars, kitchens, and entertaining spaces.

Designed for cocktails, spirits, sparkling water, and everyday refreshments, the Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine produces up to 80 pounds of ice per day and stores up to 26 pounds. Users can choose from solid, semi-solid, or hollow ice thicknesses, making it easy to match the cube to the drink, from a slow-sipping bourbon to a tall sparkling refresher.

A sleek interactive TFT touchscreen brings cleaning guides, maintenance reminders, and diagnostics together in one easy-to-read display. The guided Easy Clean System walks users through routine maintenance step by step, while a QR code provides quick access to a helpful cleaning video. An included built-in water filter works behind the scenes to improve taste, reduce odor, and minimize scale buildup.

"The Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine reflects how entertaining is evolving at home, with homeowners looking for products that feel highly functional and thoughtfully designed," said Luke Siow, President of Zephyr. "From its crystal-clear ice and flexible installation to its panel-ready design and intuitive controls, every detail was considered to make hosting feel more seamless and elevated."

Every unit ships ready for both drain pump and gravity drain installations. The built-in drain pump provides greater placement flexibility, while the gravity drain option accommodates spaces where that installation is preferred. By including both options out of the box, the Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine simplifies planning and installation without requiring a separate model or special order.

"That same attention to detail extends to the overall value," added Siow. "Our Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine delivers the features and design you would expect from a premium appliance at a much more accessible price point, without sacrificing performance or flexibility."

Designed to integrate into a range of interiors, the field-reversible, panel-ready door can be finished with a custom wood panel or an optional stainless steel overlay panel kit. Soft-close articulating hinges support smooth operation, while eight-color LED lighting, including warm white, cool white, red, amber, green, cyan, blue, and violet, adds customizable visibility and ambiance inside the ice bin.

Active Leak Protection provides an additional layer of reassurance through a built-in sensor that continuously monitors for internal water leaks. If a leak is detected, the system automatically shuts off the internal water valve to help protect the surrounding space. The Presrv™ Gourmet Clear Ice Machine includes a food-safe, corrosion-resistant ice scoop crafted from 316-grade stainless steel for durability in wet, high-humidity environments.

Zephyr is introducing the Presrv™ Outdoor Gourmet Clear Ice Machine in November 2026, bringing the same clear-ice performance and entertaining-focused design to outdoor kitchens and living spaces.
