For an undercounter ice maker for iced coffee, I’d choose the Mojgar Undercounter Nugget Ice Maker with Drain Pump as my best overall pick for chewable ice and flexible drainage. The Whynter UIM-155 is a more restrained choice for buyers who want a built-in style machine, while the ICEPURE 15-inch model stands out for its drain pump and filter. The main tradeoffs are ice texture, storage capacity, daily output, and installation requirements: high production does not always mean a large ready-to-use supply, and drainage can limit placement. Read on for how the 13 options compare and which one fits your coffee routine.

Key Takeaways
- Ice style matters as much as output: the Mojgar nugget model is the roundup’s clearest fit for people who prefer chewable ice in iced coffee, while most listed models are commercial-style options whose ice texture should be checked before purchase.
- Daily production and bin capacity solve different problems: the Mojgar 200 lb/24 hr model emphasizes throughput, while the Garvee pairs 120 lb/24 hr production with a 36 lb bin; neither figure alone tells you how much ice is ready at serving time.
- Drainage affects where a machine can go: the Mojgar nugget model, Feelfunn, and ICEPURE include water pumps, which may help where a gravity drain is not practical, subject to each model’s installation instructions.
- Compact 15-inch designs trade scale for easier fit: Whynter, COSTWAY, ICEPURE, and EUHOMY offer narrower-format options, but buyers still need to verify cabinet clearance, ventilation, and drainage.
- Several models cluster around high daily output: the 100–120 lb/day machines may be a more sensible household fit than 150–200 lb/day choices unless demand, recovery time, and storage needs justify the larger production target.

More Details on Our Top Picks
Mojgar Commercial Ice Maker, 100 lb/24 hr
The Mojgar CIM-360F suits iced-coffee drinkers who want substantial daily output without committing to a built-in installation. Its front-venting design supports under-counter placement, but it can also stand alone if your kitchen layout changes. Production reaches 100 pounds per day, while adjustable ice thickness gives you some control over cubes for different coffee drinks. Compared with the EUHOMY 100 lb model, this Mojgar lists a shorter first-batch window of 10–18 minutes, though its storage capacity is less clearly specified at 18–33 pounds. The key limitation is drainage: it relies on gravity and needs a suitable floor drain, with no pump included. Its bin also isn’t a freezer, so ice may need transferring for longer storage.
Pros:- Up to 100 lb daily production can support frequent iced-coffee preparation and gatherings.
- Front venting and dual installation options allow under-counter or freestanding use.
- Adjustable ice thickness and one-touch self-cleaning add practical control and upkeep support.
- Includes a 24-month machine and compressor warranty.
Cons:- Gravity drainage requires a floor drain or suitable gravity outlet; no drain pump is included.
- The storage bin is not a freezer, so stored ice can melt.
- The stated storage range of 18–33 lb is less definite than the EUHOMY model’s listed 33 lb capacity.
Best for: Home coffee bars that need high daily cube production and may switch between under-counter and freestanding placement.
Not ideal for: Kitchens without a floor drain or buyers who need ice to stay frozen in the machine’s storage bin.
- Daily ice production:Up to 100 lb
- Ice storage capacity:18–33 lb
- First batch time:10–18 minutes
- Dimensions:15.1 × 15.7 × 29 in
- Drainage:Gravity drainage; requires a floor drain
- Installation:Under-counter or freestanding
- Features:Adjustable ice thickness, self-cleaning, front venting, LED lighting
- Warranty:24 months for machine and compressor
Our verdict“Choose this Mojgar if you want flexible placement and high output, and already have a workable gravity-drain location.”
Mountman Commercial Stainless Steel Ice Maker, 110 lb/Day
The Mountman LK-360T is a practical fit for households that want a steady supply ready around coffee time rather than the fastest possible cycle. Its 24-hour timer lets buyers schedule operation, and the machine makes 36 cubes per 14-minute cycle with adjustable thickness. That makes it more schedule-focused than the Garvee 120 lb model, which has higher stated daily production and a faster 8–10-minute cycle. Mountman still offers a strong 110-pound daily capacity and a 33-pound bin, enough to support repeated iced coffees and guests. It can sit under a counter or operate freestanding, but its listed dimensions—especially the 29.9-inch width—call for careful measuring. It also needs a water connection, and the product details do not specify a drain pump.
Pros:- 24-hour timer allows ice production to be scheduled around regular coffee routines.
- Produces up to 110 lb per day and stores up to 33 lb.
- Adjustable ice thickness and one-touch self-cleaning support daily drink use and maintenance.
- Can be installed under a counter or used freestanding.
Cons:- The listed 29.9-inch width may be difficult to fit in a compact kitchen.
- Requires a water supply connection.
- A drain pump is not listed, so buyers should confirm drainage needs before installation.
Best for: Households with a plumbed-in coffee or bar area that want to schedule ice production ahead of busy mornings or gatherings.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens with limited width, or buyers seeking a compact unit or an explicitly included drain pump.
- Daily ice production:Up to 110 lb
- Storage capacity:33 lb
- Cubes per cycle:36
- Cycle time:14 minutes
- Dimensions:15.8 × 29.9 × 15.2 in (D × W × H)
- Power:290 W; 115 V
- Installation:Under-counter or freestanding
- Features:24-hour timer, adjustable ice thickness, self-cleaning
Our verdict“Pick the Mountman if scheduled production matters more than the Garvee’s faster cycle and higher stated output.”
Mojgar Undercounter Nugget Ice Maker with Drain Pump
For iced coffee drinkers who prefer soft, chewable ice over firm cubes, the Mojgar HBZB-30N fills a different role from the other machines here. It makes up to 80 pounds of nugget ice daily, which is lower than the cube output of the Mountman 110 lb model, but the texture is the point: nuggets are easy to chew and can suit blended or slowly sipped drinks. Its included drain pump also gives it an installation advantage over the gravity-drain Mojgar 100 lb model when a floor drain is not nearby. The tradeoff is limited on-board storage at 18 pounds, so a busy household may need to transfer ice or plan production around use. It is also heavier than many buyers may expect at 61.1 pounds.
Pros:- Makes soft nugget ice rather than conventional cubes.
- Included drain pump offers more placement flexibility than gravity-only models such as the Mojgar CIM-360F.
- Built-in or freestanding installation, LED controls, and a self-cleaning cycle are included.
- Rated at 45 dB or less and includes a 24-month machine and compressor warranty.
Cons:- The 18 lb storage capacity is smaller than the 33 lb bins on the Mountman and EUHOMY cube makers.
- Daily production tops out at 80 lb, below the listed output of several cube models in this roundup.
- At 61.1 lb, moving or positioning it may take extra effort.
Best for: Iced-coffee fans who specifically want soft, chewable nugget ice and need a pump for a less convenient drain location.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritize maximum cube output or a large built-in ice reserve for parties.
- Ice type:Soft, chewable nugget ice
- Daily ice production:Up to 80 lb
- Ice storage capacity:18 lb
- Drain pump:Included
- Installation:Built-in or freestanding
- Dimensions:15 in W × 17.9 in D × 32.5 in H built-in; 33.1 in H freestanding
- Noise level:45 dB or less
- Self-cleaning cycle:15 minutes
- Warranty:24 months for machine and compressor
Our verdict“Choose this Mojgar over the cube makers if chewable nugget texture and an included drain pump matter more than storage capacity.”
EUHOMY Commercial Ice Maker Machine, 100lbs/24H Stainless Steel Under Counter Ice Machine with 33lbs Ice Storage Capacity, Freestanding Ice Maker
The EUHOMY 100 lb ice maker makes sense when keeping a ready supply on hand matters as much as making ice quickly. Its 33-pound storage bin is larger than the Mojgar CIM-360F’s stated 18–33-pound range at the low end, while production reaches 100 pounds per day. The machine forms 45 clear cubes every 11–15 minutes, and its LCD panel lets users adjust ice-making time to influence cube thickness—useful when choosing ice for a strong iced coffee that should dilute more slowly. It also offers one-touch cleaning and ETL certification for home and commercial use. The catch is installation: like the Mojgar CIM-360F, it uses gravity drainage and has no pump, so the outlet must sit below the unit. Its bin is storage, not a freezer.
Pros:- 33 lb storage bin provides a substantial reserve for repeated drinks and entertaining.
- Makes 45 clear cubes per cycle in a stated 11–15 minutes.
- LCD controls adjust ice-making time and provide a one-touch cleaning function.
- ETL certified for household and commercial use.
Cons:- Gravity drainage requires a floor drain or lower gravity outlet; no pump is included.
- The ice bin does not freeze stored ice, so ice can melt over time.
- The instructions call for keeping the unit upright for 24 hours before first use.
Best for: Families or home coffee bars that want a larger ready-to-use cube reserve and adjustable cube thickness.
Not ideal for: Kitchens without a low gravity-drain outlet or buyers who need a pump-assisted installation or freezer-style storage.
- Daily ice production:Up to 100 lb
- Ice storage capacity:33 lb
- Cubes per cycle:45
- Cycle time:11–15 minutes
- Dimensions:15.96 in D × 17.52 in W × 31.3 in H
- Power:198 W; 115 V
- Drainage:Gravity drainage; no pump included
- Certification:ETL certified for household and commercial use
Our verdict“Choose the EUHOMY over the Mojgar CIM-360F if you value its clearly stated 33 lb bin and can accommodate gravity drainage.”
Garvee Commercial Ice Maker, 120 lb/24h, 36 lb Storage
The Garvee commercial ice maker is the strongest fit here for buyers who want a large volume of cubes generated quickly. Its listed output reaches 120 pounds per day, and each 8–10-minute cycle makes 50 cubes—a faster, higher-volume pattern than the EUHOMY’s 45 cubes in 11–15 minutes. The 36-pound bin is also the largest stated storage capacity among these five models, giving a busy coffee station more reserve before someone needs to refill a separate container. Adjustable thickness, LED controls, and one-touch self-cleaning add useful day-to-day control. In return for that capacity, buyers need to plan around gravity drainage, and the unit needs to stand upright for 24 hours before first use. Its 57.3-pound weight may also make positioning a two-person task.
Pros:- Up to 120 lb daily production is the highest stated capacity among these five products.
- Makes 50 cubes per 8–10-minute cycle, faster than the EUHOMY’s stated cycle.
- 36 lb storage capacity offers the largest listed reserve in this group.
- LED controls, adjustable ice thickness, and one-touch self-cleaning are included.
Cons:- Gravity drainage requires a suitable floor drain or gravity outlet; a drain pump is not listed.
- The unit must stand upright for 24 hours before use, delaying setup.
- At 57.3 lb, positioning may be difficult for one person.
Best for: Busy households, home cafés, or entertaining spaces that use many iced coffees and want rapid cube production with a large bin.
Not ideal for: Buyers without a gravity-drain location, those who need a drain pump, or anyone wanting to install and use a machine immediately after delivery.
- Daily ice production:Up to 120 lb
- Ice per cycle:50 cubes
- Cycle time:8–10 minutes
- Storage capacity:36 lb
- Item weight:57.3 lb
- Installation:Built-in, freestanding, or under-counter
- Drainage:Gravity drainage
- Controls and cleaning:LED panel; one-touch self-cleaning
- Certification:ETL listed
Our verdict“Choose the Garvee if fast, high-volume cube production and a large storage bin outweigh gravity-drain and setup requirements.”
Mojgar Commercial Ice Maker, 200 lb/24h, 50 lb Storage Bin
For iced-coffee service with frequent refills, this Mojgar pairs up to 200 pounds of daily production with a 50-pound bin, giving it more output headroom than the 150-pound Mojgar or the Uthfy’s 170-pound rating. Its 22 mm cubes suit standard iced drinks, while adjustable thickness lets buyers tune the ice size rather than commit to one setting. The option to draw from tap or bottled water can help when a direct water hookup is inconvenient, and the included filter and self-cleaning function address routine upkeep.
That capacity comes with setup and listing caveats: it needs a drain, must stand upright for 24 hours before startup, and its warranty terms conflict between 12 and 24 months in the supplied details. I’d choose it for sustained demand, not a lightly used home coffee station.
Pros:- Up to 200 lb daily production and a 50 lb storage bin support repeated high-volume use.
- Accepts tap or bottled water, offering more hookup flexibility than a tap-only setup.
- Adjustable ice thickness, self-cleaning, timer, and included water filter support customization and upkeep.
- ETL-listed stainless steel construction with stated noise below 50 dB.
Cons:- Warranty duration is inconsistent in the product details, with both 12- and 24-month terms stated.
- Requires a drain connection for operation.
- Must remain upright for 24 hours before first use.
Best for: Coffee shops, busy offices, and households hosting frequent gatherings that need high daily ice output and a substantial reserve.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens or occasional iced-coffee drinkers who cannot spare space for a commercial unit or do not want to arrange a drain.
- Daily ice production:Up to 200 lb
- Storage capacity:50 lb
- Ice per cycle:55 cubes
- Cycle time:8–13 minutes
- Cube dimensions:22 × 22 × 22 mm
- Water supply:Tap water or bottled water
- Installation:Freestanding or undercounter
- Power and noise:400 W; under 50 dB
- Certification:ETL-listed
Our verdict“Choose this Mojgar when high iced-coffee demand makes its 200-pound output and 50-pound bin worth the commercial-scale setup.”
Whynter UIM-155 Built-In Stainless Steel Ice Maker
The Whynter is the clear low-volume choice here: it makes up to 12 pounds per day and stores 6 pounds, far less than the COSTWAY’s 110-pound daily output and 25-pound bin. That gap matters for a café or a household serving iced coffee all day, but can be an advantage for a compact kitchen that needs a modest, steady supply rather than commercial capacity. Its crescent-shaped ice gives drinks a different format from the square cubes made by the Mojgar models.
Front venting allows built-in placement, and no drain is required, simplifying installation compared with the COSTWAY and both high-output Mojgars. It still needs a water line, so it is not a plug-in countertop alternative. I’d pick it for regular personal use, but skip it if several people need ice throughout the day.
Pros:- Compact 15-inch width suits tighter undercounter spaces.
- Front-venting design supports built-in installation.
- No drain is required, reducing installation demands versus the COSTWAY and Mojgar machines.
- Automatic shutoff stops production when the bin is full.
Cons:- Produces only up to 12 lb per day, limiting repeated high-volume serving.
- The 6 lb bin holds much less ice than the commercial options in this group.
- Requires a water-line connection.
Best for: Home coffee drinkers who want a built-in ice source for a few iced drinks a day and have a water line available.
Not ideal for: Coffee bars, large households, or anyone who needs large batches; its 12 lb daily output and 6 lb bin are small beside the commercial models.
- Daily ice production:Up to 12 lb
- Storage capacity:6 lb
- Ice shape:Crescent
- Installation:Built-in or freestanding; front venting
- Drain:Not required
- Dimensions:18 in D × 15 in W × 25 in H
- Electrical:120 V; 120 W
- Included water line:25-foot, 1/4-inch food-grade line
- Warranty:One-year limited manufacturer warranty
Our verdict“Pick the Whynter for modest home iced-coffee use where a compact built-in unit and drain-free setup matter more than high capacity.”
COSTWAY 15-Inch Under-Counter Commercial Ice Maker, 110 lb/Day
The COSTWAY stands out for fitting 110 pounds of daily production into a 15-inch-wide unit, making it a more space-conscious commercial-style choice than the 150- and 200-pound Mojgar machines. Its 25-pound bin is also larger than the Whynter’s 6-pound reserve, though smaller than the 50-pound Mojgar bins or Uthfy’s 55-pound capacity. For iced coffee, it offers adjustable ice thickness and batches of 40 cubes, so it can replenish a useful supply without requiring the footprint of the highest-output options.
A reversible door helps adapt the opening to the kitchen layout, while automatic cleaning and a built-in filter reduce routine maintenance. The tradeoff is that compact width does not remove installation needs: it still requires both a water connection and a drain hose. Choose it when space is tight but the Whynter’s low output is not enough.
Pros:- 15-inch width offers a narrower undercounter fit than the larger-capacity Mojgar and Uthfy models.
- Produces up to 110 lb per day and stores up to 25 lb.
- Reversible door supports more flexible placement.
- Built-in water filter, automatic cleaning, adjustable ice thickness, and timer add useful controls.
Cons:- Requires a water connection and drain hose.
- Its 25 lb bin is smaller than the 50 lb Mojgar bins and Uthfy’s 55 lb bin.
- Daily production is below the 150–200 lb Mojgar options.
Best for: Home coffee stations or small offices that need commercial-style daily output in a 15-inch-wide undercounter opening.
Not ideal for: Buyers without a nearby water supply and drain, or high-volume venues that would benefit from a 50–55 lb storage bin.
- Daily ice production:Up to 110 lb
- Storage capacity:25 lb
- Ice per cycle:40 cubes
- Cycle time:12–15 minutes
- Dimensions:21.1 in D × 15 in W × 33.7 in H
- Installation:Built-in, undercounter, or freestanding
- Door:Reversible hinge
- Timer:1–23 hours
- Cleaning:Automatic cleaning function
Our verdict“Choose the COSTWAY when a narrow undercounter fit and useful production matter more than the larger reserves offered by the Mojgar and Uthfy machines.”
Mojgar Commercial Ice Maker, 150 lb/24 hr, 50 lb Storage Bin
This Mojgar keeps the 50-pound storage bin and flexible tap-or-bottled-water setup of its 200-pound sibling, but its daily output is capped at 150 pounds. That makes it a sensible middle ground for buyers who want a large reserve for iced coffee without choosing the lineup’s highest-production model. Compared with the Uthfy, it stores 5 pounds less; compared with the Whynter, it is built for a much heavier serving load.
Each 8–13-minute cycle makes 45 square cubes, and adjustable thickness gives more control over drink ice than a fixed-format machine. Self-cleaning, a filter, and a timer add convenience, while ETL listing and a stated 24-month machine-and-compressor warranty provide clearer product details than the 200-pound Mojgar listing, whose warranty terms conflict. It still needs a drain and 24 hours upright before first use.
Pros:- Up to 150 lb daily production with a substantial 50 lb bin.
- Accepts tap or bottled water for flexible supply options.
- Adjustable cube thickness, timer, self-cleaning, and included water filter support regular use.
- ETL-listed and specified with a 24-month machine and compressor warranty.
Cons:- Requires a drain connection.
- Needs to remain upright for 24 hours before first use.
- Produces less per day than the 200 lb Mojgar and stores less than the Uthfy.
Best for: Small cafés, offices, and households that need a large ice reserve but do not require the 200 lb daily output of the higher-capacity Mojgar.
Not ideal for: Buyers who need a drain-free installation or want the greatest possible production and bin capacity in this group.
- Daily ice production:Up to 150 lb
- Storage capacity:50 lb
- Ice per cycle:45 cubes
- Cycle time:8–13 minutes
- Cube dimensions:22 × 22 × 22 mm
- Water supply:Tap water or bottled water
- Installation:Freestanding or undercounter
- Power and noise:370 W; under 50 dB
- Warranty:24 months for machine and compressor
Our verdict“Choose this Mojgar for a large-bin machine with strong output but less excess capacity than the 200-pound model.”
Uthfy Commercial Ice Maker, 170 lb/24 hr, Stainless Steel
The Uthfy is the standout for buyers who want to keep more ice on hand: its 55-pound storage capacity is the largest listed here, edging past both Mojgar bins at 50 pounds. Its 170-pound daily output also sits between the 150-pound Mojgar and the 200-pound Mojgar, so it offers substantial production without being the maximum-output pick. For an iced-coffee station, that larger bin can mean more ready ice during busy periods, while 50 cubes per 7–14-minute batch replenish the supply.
An LCD panel, adjustable thickness, automatic cleaning, and a removable filter make controls and upkeep more approachable than the simpler Whynter setup. The tradeoff is its sizable 19.13-by-16.3-inch footprint, which may complicate undercounter placement; the COSTWAY is narrower at 15 inches. Choose the Uthfy for reserve capacity, not for a tight kitchen or a small daily ice need.
Pros:- Largest listed storage bin in this group at 55 lb.
- Produces up to 170 lb daily, between the 150 lb and 200 lb Mojgar models.
- LCD controls and adjustable cube thickness allow straightforward customization.
- Automatic cleaning and a removable water filter support routine maintenance.
Cons:- Its 16.3-inch width is greater than the COSTWAY’s 15-inch width and may limit placement.
- Requires undercounter space for a commercial-scale machine.
- The supplied product details do not specify cycle cube dimensions or noise level.
Best for: Busy offices and food-service spaces that prioritize a large ready-to-use ice reserve and want adjustable controls.
Not ideal for: Small kitchens with a narrow undercounter opening, or occasional users unlikely to use a 55 lb bin and commercial-level output.
- Daily ice production:170 lb
- Storage capacity:55 lb
- Ice per batch:50 cubes
- Batch time:7–14 minutes
- Dimensions:19.13 in D × 16.3 in W × 31.89 in H
- Electrical:115 V
- Installation:Undercounter or freestanding
- Controls and maintenance:LCD control panel, adjustable thickness, automatic cleaning, removable water filter
- Certification:ETL
Our verdict“Pick the Uthfy if you want the biggest ready-ice reserve in this group and have room for its larger footprint.”
Feelfunn Commercial Ice Maker with Water Pump, 85 lb Daily Production
For an iced-coffee station without a convenient floor drain, the Feelfunn CIM010 has a useful advantage over gravity-drain models such as the EUHOMY 15-Inch Under-Counter Ice Maker: its water pump gives more flexibility when routing drainage. It makes up to 85 pounds daily and holds 24 pounds, a practical pairing for steady home or small-service use rather than the larger surges supported by options such as the Garvee 120 lb/24h. Three cube sizes let you choose smaller pieces for faster chilling or larger cubes that melt more slowly in coffee. The LCD panel adds a timer and self-cleaning function, but the unit is nearly 15 inches wide and about 34 inches tall, so measure the opening and service clearance. Setup also takes patience: it must stand upright for 24 hours, and the drain pipe still needs to sit below the outlet.
Pros:- Water pump offers more drainage-placement flexibility than gravity-drain models
- Three cube sizes suit different iced-coffee chilling preferences
- Produces up to 85 pounds of ice per day with 24 pounds of storage
- LCD controls include a timer and self-cleaning function
Cons:- Daily output is lower than the 90-pound ICEPURE and EUHOMY options
- Drain pipe must remain below the drain outlet despite the pump
- Requires 24 hours upright before initial use
Best for: Home coffee bars or small beverage businesses that want several cube sizes and need a pump to route drainage around a difficult installation.
Not ideal for: Buyers needing the highest listed output for frequent large gatherings, or anyone without room to accommodate its roughly 34-inch height and drainage setup.
- Daily ice production:Up to 85 lb
- Storage capacity:24 lb
- Ice cycle time:11–20 minutes
- Ice cube sizes:Small, medium, and large
- Dimensions:20.19 × 14.93 × 33.9 in (D × W × H)
- Power:253 W, 115 V

ICEPURE 15″ Under Counter Ice Maker with Drain Pump and Filter
The ICEPURE YD-QZ001 combines three features that matter at an iced-coffee station: 90-pound daily production, a built-in activated-carbon water filter, and app control. Filtration is its clearest distinction from the EUHOMY 15-Inch Under-Counter Ice Maker, which also lists 90 pounds per day and adjustable ice thickness but does not specify a built-in filter or Wi-Fi. Remote start, scheduling, and alerts can help keep ice ready around a routine, while the filter is intended to reduce chlorine, sediment, and off-tastes that could affect a drink. Its 26-pound bin is slightly larger than EUHOMY’s 24-pound bin. The tradeoff is a heavier reliance on connected features and a more involved installation: confirm the required water and drain arrangement, and check the actual cutout dimensions before choosing it for a compact bar.
Pros:- Produces up to 90 lb daily with a 26 lb storage bin
- Built-in activated-carbon filter targets sediment, odors, and off-tastes
- Wi-Fi app supports remote operation and a 24-hour timer
- Self-cleaning and alerts for full ice or low water
Cons:- App features add setup and connectivity requirements
- Provided information does not specify a warranty or cycle cube count
- Installation dimensions and drainage needs should be confirmed for the intended space
Best for: Coffee-bar owners who want filtered ice, app-based scheduling, and a little more bin capacity than the EUHOMY 15-inch model provides.
Not ideal for: Buyers who prefer simple manual controls, do not want to depend on app connectivity, or need verified installation clearances before committing to a tight undercounter space.
- Daily ice production:Up to 90 lb
- Storage capacity:26 lb
- Ice cycle:40 cubes every 10–18 minutes
- Dimensions:18.7 × 14.96 × 33.9 in (D × W × H)
- Power:203 W, 115 V
- Material:Stainless steel
- Refrigerant:R290a
- Controls and care:Wi-Fi app, 24-hour timer, self-cleaning, smart alerts
- Certifications:ETL and FCC
Our verdict“Pick the ICEPURE over the EUHOMY if filtered water, app scheduling, and its 26-pound bin are priorities for your iced-coffee setup.”
EUHOMY 15-Inch Under-Counter Ice Maker, 90 lb/Day, 24 lb Bin
The EUHOMY CIM002-0618 is a strong fit for buyers who want a familiar 15-inch undercounter format with useful controls but no stated app requirement. It makes up to 90 pounds per day, matching the ICEPURE, though ICEPURE adds Wi-Fi, a water filter, and a slightly larger 26-pound bin. EUHOMY counters with a reversible door, which can make access more convenient when cabinetry or a nearby wall limits swing direction. Adjustable ice thickness also gives coffee drinkers some control over how quickly cubes chill a drink and dilute it. Built-in or freestanding installation adds flexibility, but the listed drainage is gravity-based, so a suitable drain position matters; unlike the Feelfunn, it has no specified pump to help route wastewater. The 24-hour upright wait before first use also calls for planning ahead.
Pros:- 90 lb daily output supports regular iced-coffee use and gatherings
- Reversible door helps adapt access to the cabinet layout
- Adjustable ice thickness lets users tailor cubes to drink preferences
- Built-in or freestanding installation with a 24-hour timer and self-cleaning
Cons:- Requires water supply and gravity drainage rather than a specified drain pump
- 24 lb bin is smaller than ICEPURE’s 26 lb storage capacity
- Must remain upright for 24 hours before use
Best for: Homeowners fitting an ice maker into a 15-inch cabinet opening who want adjustable cubes, a reversible door, and timer-based operation without app controls.
Not ideal for: Buyers whose drain is not below the outlet, who need pump-assisted drainage, or who want a built-in filter and remote app operation.
- Daily ice production:Up to 90 lb
- Storage capacity:24 lb
- Ice production cycle:40 cubes every 11–20 minutes
- Dimensions:20.39 × 14.96 × 33.58 in (D × W × H)
- Power:203 W, 115 V
- Material:Stainless steel
- Refrigerant:R290a
- Installation:Built-in or freestanding
- Features and warranty:Reversible door, adjustable ice thickness, 24-hour timer, self-cleaning; 1-year warranty
Our verdict“Choose the EUHOMY for a flexible 15-inch installation and straightforward controls, provided gravity drainage works in your space.”
How We Picked
I ranked these machines for iced-coffee use, not for headline production alone. The main criteria were whether the listed ice style suits cold drinks, daily output and bin capacity, footprint and undercounter fit, drainage options, and how clearly the product information supports a practical installation decision. I also weighed maintenance needs and the likely value of extra capacity for a household versus a busy entertaining space.
The nugget model leads because its ice style directly serves a common iced-coffee preference and it includes a drain pump. Models with a defined 15-inch format rank well for buyers with tighter cabinetry, while higher-output commercial units move up for buyers who need volume but may be excessive for casual use. Where the supplied product details do not specify ice shape, dimensions, or particular installation features, I avoid treating those details as confirmed; buyers should verify them with the manufacturer before ordering.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Undercounter Ice Maker For Iced Coffee
To choose well, match the machine to your drink, kitchen layout, and actual serving rhythm. A few practical checks can prevent a machine with impressive production numbers from becoming an awkward fit or an inconvenient source of ice.
Match the Ice Texture to Your Coffee
Ice shape changes how a cold drink feels and how quickly it dilutes. Nugget ice is soft and chewable, while harder, more traditional cubes can suit buyers who want slower melting or use the ice for other drinks. Do not infer ice style from a machine’s commercial label or output figure; check the specification or ask the manufacturer. If you make coffee concentrates or sip slowly, melting rate may matter more than the ice maker’s daily capacity. A machine that produces a lot of ice in a texture you dislike is a poor match for this use.
Read Production and Storage as Separate Numbers
Daily production estimates describe what a machine can make over time, while the bin tells you how much it can hold between serving periods. A large production figure cannot compensate for a small bin if you need a ready supply for guests at once. Conversely, a large bin may sit partly empty if your household uses only a few drinks’ worth each day. Think through when you serve iced coffee and whether the machine can replenish ice between busy periods. Treat advertised output as a planning reference, not a promise of a full bin at every moment.
Plan the Drain Before Choosing a Location
Undercounter machines commonly need a way to dispose of meltwater and drainage water, and the right setup depends on the model. Gravity drainage generally depends on an appropriate drain location and slope; a pump can provide more placement flexibility but adds another component to maintain. Check the manual for drain height, hose routing, and whether a pump is included or optional. A nearby cabinet opening does not automatically make a location workable if the hose cannot reach the required outlet. Confirm the plumbing plan before selecting a unit, especially for a kitchen island or a spot far from a floor drain.
Measure the Full Installation Space
Nominal width is only one part of fit. Measure height and depth, then account for door swing, water and drain connections, ventilation clearance, and access for cleaning or repairs. A 15-inch format can suit narrow cabinetry, but it still needs the clearances specified by its maker. Also confirm whether the unit is approved for built-in use or needs open airflow around it; a freestanding label does not automatically mean it can be enclosed. Checking these details first can prevent a machine from fitting the opening but failing to operate properly in it.
Choose Capacity for Your Real Routine
For a small household making occasional iced coffee, a high-output commercial machine may take up space and require more upkeep than the routine calls for. Larger production makes more sense for frequent entertaining, a shared kitchen, or repeated batches that outpace a modest machine’s recovery. Estimate servings on your busiest day rather than buying for an imagined peak that rarely happens. If you also want ice for other drinks, include that demand in your estimate. When capacity is uncertain, prioritize a workable installation and convenient storage over the largest daily-production number.
Check Water Quality and Cleaning Requirements
Water quality affects taste and can contribute to mineral buildup, which may shorten the time between cleanings. A listed filter can be useful, but check whether it is included, replaceable, and compatible with your water supply. Drain pumps and other added components may bring extra cleaning or service steps, so read the care instructions before buying. Regular cleaning matters for flavor as well as reliable ice production, particularly when coffee residue, dust, or stagnant water could affect the surrounding area. Choose a maintenance routine you can keep up with rather than relying on a feature name alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is nugget ice better than cube-style ice for iced coffee?
There is no single best shape for every iced coffee. Nugget ice is soft and easy to chew, making it a strong match for people who like that café-style texture. Harder cubes may be preferable if you want ice that holds its shape longer or use one machine for several kinds of drinks. Consider how quickly you drink your coffee and how much dilution you enjoy. Confirm the specific machine’s ice shape before buying, since the product name may not make it clear.
Should I choose a drain pump if my machine is going under a counter?
A drain pump can help when the planned outlet is not positioned for gravity drainage, but it does not remove the need to plan a proper drain route. Check the machine’s installation instructions for allowable drain height, hose distance, and outlet requirements. A pump may add flexibility, along with another part that can need cleaning or service. If a gravity drain is available and compatible, a pump may not be necessary. Decide from the actual plumbing layout rather than choosing based on the feature alone.
Does a higher pounds-per-day rating mean I will always have more ice ready?
No. The daily figure describes production over a period, while the bin capacity limits how much ice is held at once. A machine can have high output but still run short during a burst of demand if its bin is modest or ice has not had time to replenish. Check both figures and think about how many drinks you serve together. For iced coffee served one cup at a time, recovery may matter more than peak production. For gatherings, storage capacity can be just as important as the daily rating.
Can I install a freestanding ice maker inside an undercounter opening?
Do not assume it is safe to enclose a freestanding unit. Some machines need open space around their vents to release heat, and cabinet installation can restrict airflow. Review the installation guide for built-in approval, required clearances, and ventilation direction. Measure the opening with hoses, connections, and door movement included. If the maker does not confirm that enclosed installation is allowed, choose a model designed for that setup instead.
Which matters more for iced coffee: a large bin or high daily production?
It depends on when and how you serve drinks. A larger bin helps when several people need ice at once, while strong daily production supports repeated use across the day. For a single coffee routine, a moderate bin with enough recovery may be more practical than commercial-scale output. For entertaining or shared kitchens, both capacity and production deserve attention. Compare your busiest serving window with the bin size, then use daily output as a guide to replenishment.
Conclusion
My best overall choice is the Mojgar Undercounter Nugget Ice Maker with Drain Pump for buyers who prioritize chewable ice and need more drainage flexibility. For best value in everyday capability, I’d start with the EUHOMY Commercial Ice Maker at 100 lb/24 hr and 33 lb storage, then verify its installation details against the kitchen. The best premium-capacity direction is the Mojgar 200 lb/24 hr model for buyers with sustained demand, though it is more machine than many households need. For beginners, a clearly sized 15-inch option such as the EUHOMY 90 lb/day model may be easier to evaluate than a larger commercial unit, provided its fit and drain setup work. For specific installation needs, compare the ICEPURE and Feelfunn pump-equipped models, or consider the Whynter, COSTWAY, and other 15-inch formats for narrower spaces; confirm dimensions, ice type, and ventilation before choosing.
