the counter or simply sell the pods to shoppers who can insert them into the device and make their product of choice themselves following the on-screen instructions.
WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA?
WHAT’S THE ICE CREAM LIKE?
A machine that makes ice cream, frozen yoghurt and smoothies in under a minute using Nespresso-style pods.
We haven’t tried it, but ColdSnap says the machine creates “micro-sized ice crystals that are 40% smaller than storebought products, guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible”.
HOW DOES IT WORK? ColdSnap requires no machine set up, no installation and no refrigeration or freezing, even for the recyclable aluminium pods. The rapid-freezing device produces personalised single servings in 60 to 120 seconds.
WHAT’S COLDSNAP SAYING?
The company says the product is suitable for both domestic and commercial use. Specifically, it says “convenience stores can place a ColdSnap machine to generate revenue and profit through the continuous sale of ColdSnap Pods without having to worry about keeping the Pods frozen and without the daily clean-up required of contemporary frozen confection and beverage machines”.
Matt Fonte, President at Sigma Phase Corp, says: “ColdSnap ice cream is creamy with a smoother mouth-feel than ice cream that undertakes a deep freeze that is required when shipping in refrigerated trucks and kept frozen in the grocery store. Frozen yogurt made with the ColdSnap machine has a dense, velvety texture. In short, ColdSnap makes a smoother, better tasting product. “ColdSnap does not require environmentally-unfriendly refrigeration systems of factory-frozen ice cream, and therefore, will reduce carbon emissions associated with making and distributing ice cream by 25% to 50%.”
SO THE PODS ARE AMBIENT?
WHERE DO I GET A MACHINE AND PODS?
Yes, they’re shelf-stable and can be stored and merchandised anywhere.
Direct from ColdSnap – the only slight issue is that the pods won’t be available to buy until the second quarter of 2021.
SO THEY COULD BE SELF-SERVE?
HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE?
Yes, retailers could either service ready-made ice cream over
