About

ColdSnap makes a countertop appliance that freezes single servings of ice cream, frozen lattes, smoothies, protein shakes and cocktails on demand, in roughly two to three minutes, from shelf-stable pods. Because the pods are stored at ambient temperature, the system removes the frozen supply chain from frozen desserts. The company was founded in Massachusetts in October 2018 by Matthew Fonte and manufactures in a vertically integrated facility in Billerica. Machines are deployed in offices, stadiums and arenas, convention centers, universities, hotels and senior living facilities, alongside a consumer machine sold directly.

Shelf-stable pods that freeze on demand inside the machine, eliminating the refrigerated supply chain, freezer storage and cleanup that frozen desserts normally require — food never contacts the machine. The razor-and-blade model pairs a patented appliance with recurring pod revenue, backed by 108 issued patents and 78 pending.

Product

ColdSnap Frozen Treat Machine

Countertop kitchen appliance

A plug-in countertop appliance that rapid-freezes a single serving of a frozen treat directly inside a sealed, shelf-stable pod in about two to three minutes, then dispenses it. Sold in commercial and consumer configurations; the commercial units are placed in workplaces, venues, universities and hospitality settings.

  • Freezes a single serving in approximately 2-3 minutes
  • Uses shelf-stable, ambient-temperature pods — no freezer or cold chain required
  • Food never contacts the machine, so there is no cleanup between servings

Built for

Commercial venue operators — corporate offices, stadiums and arenas, convention centers, universities, hotels, micro-markets and senior living — plus consumers buying the home machine and pods
