What San Francisco Bay Area does
to an ice machine.

Where ice machines sit in Contra Costa County, as across San Francisco Bay Area: small cafes and back bars, older housing stock, tower living, home bars with clear ice.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Small cafes and back bars

Where one short counter serves coffee, drinks and ice, the scoop tends to live inside the bin, and a handle touched by hands all day is how slime starts on the bin walls, so a clean cycle and a scoop holder solve more than any part.

Older housing stock

Old commercial buildings turned into bars and restaurants often have a single aging supply serving the whole back of house, and an ice machine on it fills its trough short whenever the dish area draws water, which shows as small or partial sheets of cubes.

Tower living

Building rules usually send an ice machine's drain to a floor sink or a standpipe through a long run of pipe, so a slow drain in a tower is found by following that line and its air gap, not by pulling the machine out of its opening.

Home bars with clear ice

A panel-ready undercounter ice machine wears a custom front that matches the cabinets, and a heavy panel slowly pulls the door hinge out of line until warm air leaks into the bin, so a machine whose ice melts into clumps is checked at the door first.
