The Inst.B.cooler is a CO₂-powered glass froster used at bar stations to chill glassware to -78.5°C in seven seconds. It operates without electrical power, using carbon dioxide cartridges to create an instant frost layer on glass surfaces. Bartenders use it to prepare cocktail glasses, beer glasses, and shot glasses during high-volume service.
Commercial Application
Bar staff position this unit at the cocktail station or service bar. A single trigger pull delivers pressurised CO₂ into the glass interior, creating instant frost. This eliminates the need for freezer storage of glassware and speeds drink preparation during peak hours.
The unit processes one glass per activation with seven-second cycle time. Bartenders can frost dozens of glasses per hour without disrupting workflow. Frosted presentation is maintained for several minutes, long enough for drink assembly and customer service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size CO₂ cartridges does this unit accept?
A: The Inst.B.cooler uses standard threaded 8g CO₂ cartridges widely available from catering suppliers and gas distributors. Cartridge threading follows international standards. One cartridge typically frosts 30-40 glasses depending on glass size.
Q: Can this be used for wine glasses and pint glasses?
A: Yes, the nozzle fits inside standard wine glasses, champagne flutes, highball glasses, and pint glasses. The operator inserts the nozzle into the glass opening and activates the trigger. Very narrow glasses under 3 cm diameter may not accommodate the nozzle.
Q: Does the frost affect drink taste or carbonation?
A: CO₂ frost evaporates cleanly without residue or flavour transfer. The frost layer dissipates as liquid fills the glass. Carbonated drinks are unaffected since CO₂ is already present in sodas, beer, and sparkling wine.
Q: How long does the frost effect last on the glass?
A: Frosted glass surfaces remain visibly frosted for 3-5 minutes in typical bar ambient temperatures. This provides adequate time for drink preparation and customer presentation. High humidity environments reduce frost duration slightly.
Q: Is this unit suitable for mobile bar setups and outdoor events?
A: Yes, the no-power design makes it practical for mobile bars, outdoor catering, and festival bar tents. The compact size fits in portable bar kits. Operators should secure spare cartridges since outdoor use may increase consumption during hot weather.
