# Crystal Clear Ice Cubes The 'Polar Ice Tray' is Designed for Making High-Quality Ice Cubes at Home By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-clear-ice-cubes References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/230120275/polar-ice-tray-the-perfect-ice-for-the-perfect-dri?ref=category) & [polaricetray](http://www.polaricetray.com) The 'Polar Ice Tray' is designed to help you make crystal clear ice cubes that will help enhance the quality of any [chilled beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-ice-cube). The patented device uses advanced technology to remove air bubbles and other impurities to produce high-quality ice cubes right inside your refrigerator. Unlike regular [ice cube trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crescentshaped-ice), the Polar Ice Tray separates the water molecules from any impurities to produce crystal clear ice cubes. Not only do the crystal ice cubes look cleaner, they also have a smaller surface area than regular ice cubes, which allows them to melt at a slower rate. Slower melting ice cubes means that your drink will stay colder for longer without dilution. To produce the high-quality ice cubes, simply add water to the Polar Ice Tray, place in the freezer and wait for a few hours. The end result will be crystal clear ice cubes that will help enhance the taste of any beverage with a pure and crisp taste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Crystal-clear Ice:** Opportunity for innovative ice-making technologies that can produce clear ice for commercial and home use. - **Slow-melting Ice:** Opportunity for developing ice cubes with smaller surface area to melt slowly and keep drinks colder for longer without dilution. - **Impurity-free Products:** Opportunity for products, devices, and technologies that can remove impurities from food and beverages to enhance their taste and quality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** The development of ice-making technologies that can produce high-quality, impurity-free and slow-melting ice cubes can enhance taste and quality of beverages, providing competitive advantages. - **Home Appliances:** Opportunity for designing innovative ice-making appliances and accessories for consumers who demand high-quality, crystal-clear ice for their cocktails and beverages. - **Hospitality:** Opportunity for hotels, bars, and restaurants to provide unique and high-quality drinking experiences by offering impurity-free and slow-melting ice cubes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Countertop Cocktail Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/klaris-ice-maker.md) - [Efficient At-Home Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athome-ice-maker.md) - [At-Home Mixologist Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sphere-ice-maker.md) - [Modern Mixologist Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juniper-clear-ice-maker.md) - [Cooling Beer Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beercubes1.md) - [Stylish Ice Molds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-ice-sets.md) - [Star-Shaped Ice Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-shaped-ice-cubes.md) - [Elevated Home Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartpanel-nugget-ice-maker.md) - [Clear Customizable Ice Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewel-ice.md)
