In detail: H.Koenig KBP40 Plumbed Ice Maker
H.Koenig, a French brand recognised in small appliances, offers with the KBP40 an ice maker that stands out for its ability to connect directly to the mains water supply, a rare feature in a segment usually limited to manual tank filling.
The included 3/4-inch connection hose lets you plug the unit straight into a water supply, removing the need to monitor and regularly refill the 2.8-litre tank, which stays available for more mobile use. Claimed production reaches 15 kg of ice per day, with a 9-minute production cycle and a choice between 2 ice sizes.
The removable 1.6 kg ice bin offers a comfortable reserve before needing to be emptied, while the transparent lid lets you track production without opening the unit. An ice scoop is included to make serving easier.
The H.Koenig KBP40 suits anyone after an ice maker that can keep up with heavy use, regular entertaining, a home bar or a large family, thanks in particular to its direct water connection option.

Our tester's verdict: Guillaume Hoarau
Tested first with the 2.8-litre tank filled manually, then connected directly to the water supply under the sink, the H.Koenig KBP40 genuinely changes how you use it once plumbed in: no more watching the water level, the machine tops itself up. The 9-minute cycle stays about market average, with a removable 1.6 kg bin that lets you build up a comfortable reserve before needing to empty it. The transparent lid lets you keep an eye on production without opening the unit. The bulkier footprint compared with standard countertop machines is justified by its 15 kg daily capacity, built for heavy use. The included connection hose makes installation easy, provided an accessible water point is nearby. A solid machine for anyone who entertains regularly or runs a small home bar.
