About ColdSnap
ColdSnap is a pioneering food-tech company revolutionizing frozen and beverage experiences through our patented freeze-on-demand appliance and pod system. ColdSnap (coldsnap.com) freezes single servings of premium ice creams, coffee lattes, smoothies, protein shakes and cocktails on demand using shelf stable pods filled with premium liquid ingredients. Our frozen products taste exceptionally creamy, dense, fresh, and delicious!
Pods do not need to be refrigerated, circumventing the expensive and environmentally unfriendly cold supply chain. Food never touches the machine; we freeze in the pod and dispense directly from the pod into the bowl or cup. No cleaning of the machine. No plumbing, waterlines, or drains.
