Taylor 161 Soft Serve Freezer

Two Flavor + Twist | Gravity-Fed | Compact Countertop

The Taylor 161 is a powerful piece of equipment in a very small footprint — a compact twin-twist soft serve machine built for operators who want genuine flavor variety without sacrificing valuable counter space. With dual 1.5-quart freezing cylinders, dual 8-quart refrigerated hoppers, and Taylor’s exclusive Softech® viscosity controls, it delivers consistent, high-quality soft serve in one of the smallest twin-twist footprints available. It’s a proven, reliable choice for operators who need flexibility, simplicity, and dependable daily performance.

Key Features

• Two Flavors + Twist – Serve two independent soft serve flavors or a blended twist from a single compact countertop unit
• Gravity-Fed Design – Fewer moving parts means simpler daily cleaning, easier maintenance, and straightforward operation
• Dual 1.5-Qt Cylinders & 8-Qt Hoppers – Compact capacity with Separate Hopper Refrigeration (SHR) keeping mix below 41°F in Auto and Standby modes
• Softech® Viscosity Controls – Regulates refrigeration by measuring product viscosity to maintain consistent product quality
• Rated Output – Taylor-certified for up to 99 servings per side, per hour (3.5 oz. servings)
• Standby Mode – Maintains safe product temperatures during slow periods so you’re always ready to serve
• Mix Low Indicator Light – Alerts the operator before mix runs out; optional audible alarm available
• Removable Air Filter – Cleanable condenser filter keeps the refrigeration system running at peak efficiency
• Dual Motors – Independent motors for each cylinder ensure consistent output on both flavors

Best Fit For

• Cafés, coffee shops, and small restaurants adding two-flavor soft serve to a limited dessert menu
• Food trucks and trailers where counter space and weight capacity are genuine constraints
• Low-to-moderate volume operations that want twin-twist flexibility in a compact, easy-to-run machine
• Operators who value straightforward, reliable mechanical operation

Confirm Before Buying

• This is a low-to-moderate volume machine — if you expect significant rush periods, the Taylor C723 or C713 is a better fit; Slices can help assess the right match
• Verify your electrical service matches this unit’s voltage and phase requirements before purchasing
• Air-cooled or water-cooled configurations available — confirm which you’re purchasing and that your location can accommodate it
