MHW-3Bomber Smooth Espresso Chilling Ball w Stand: Black

Chill every espresso shot with precision using the MHW Smooth Espresso Chilling Ball with Stand: Black – designed for aroma retention and flavour clarity with reusable SUS304 construction.

Control Heat, Preserve Flavour with Chilling Innovation

The MHW Smooth Espresso Chilling Ball with Stand redefines espresso cooling. Designed to rapidly chill the shot as it flows from the portafilter, it preserves delicate aromatics and enhances sweetness, all without diluting the flavour. Built for espresso precision, the paired 30mm chilling ball and dedicated stand combine style, science, and stability.

How It Works

Pre-freeze the 30mm SUS304 chilling ball for 3–4 hours. Place it on the included black anodised aluminium stand, directly under your portafilter spout. During extraction, espresso flows over the cold surface, rapidly cooling the first drops of coffee. This locks in volatile compounds, softens harsh notes, and enhances clarity. The silicone anti-slip base ensures a stable platform for accurate placement.
