Roller Grill GES 40 Single Ice Cream Waffle Cone Iron

The Roller Grill GES 40 is a countertop electric waffle cone iron designed to produce freshly made ice cream cones to order. A patterned cooking plate shapes and cooks batter into the standard cone form, which is then rolled by hand and filled straight from the iron. As a single-plate unit, it produces one cone at a time — it is built around consistent, repeatable results rather than bulk output, and that distinction matters when choosing whether it is the right fit for your operation.

In practice, the GES 40 performs well wherever freshly made cones are part of the customer experience rather than a high-volume production requirement. The plate heats evenly and recovers quickly enough to maintain a steady flow during normal service. Making cones in front of customers is a common approach in gelaterie, artisan ice cream counters, dessert cafés and soft-serve kiosks, and this unit suits that kind of visible, craft-led service well. Under sustained peak demand, the single-plate format will naturally limit throughput — that is worth factoring in if your busiest periods are particularly intense.

Practically, the main strengths of this unit are its simplicity and its counter presence:

• Straightforward to operate, requiring minimal staff training
• Compact footprint suits smaller counters and live display setups
• Even plate contact produces consistent colour and texture across each cone
• Compatible with standard waffle batter or pre-mixed preparations
• Simple to clean down between sessions and after service

Setup requires nothing beyond a stable, heat-resistant countertop and a standard plug-in power supply. There is no water connection or extraction requirement, which keeps installation uncomplicated in most environments.

This unit is well suited to smaller operations where handmade cones are part of the offer but are not needed at very high throughput. For busier sites running extended service periods, a twin-plate or higher-output model would be worth considering. If you are unsure whether a single-plate unit will keep pace with your service, we are happy to talk it through before you commit.
