October 20, 2020, Billerica, MA – Sigma Phase, Corp. announced today the ColdSnap™ rapid freezing appliance that produces personalized single servings of premium ice cream, frozen yogurt, frozen cocktails, smoothies, and frozen coffee in 60-120 seconds. ColdSnap is a Keurig/Nespresso-style machine, but for ice cream and other frozen confections. With ColdSnap, everyone can now have delicious frozen confections in individualized servings, prepared on-the-spot, and free of messy preparation and cleanup. The ColdSnap machine uses its patented refrigeration technology to rapidly freeze shelf-stable food and beverage formulations in single-serve recyclable ColdSnap Pods that do not require refrigeration or preparation.

Rapid Freezing Technology & Pod System Transforms Frozen Treats

The patented ColdSnap system transforms the way frozen treats are produced and enjoyed. No plumbing, no set up, no preparation, no cartridges, no filters, and no cleaning is required of the ColdSnap system. To set up, simply place the ColdSnap machine on a countertop (the machine fits under a traditional kitchen cabinet); plug the system into a kitchen electric socket; insert the desired ColdSnap Pod; and follow the on-screen instructions. In under two minutes, you can enjoy delicious ice cream at home or work for a great pick-me-up.

The Smoothest Ice Cream with Micro-Sized Ice Crystals and No Refreezing

ColdSnap’s cutting-edge freezing technology creates micro-sized ice crystals that are 40% smaller than store-bought products, guaranteeing ColdSnap’s amazing taste and the smoothest texture possible. “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,” said Matt Fonte, President, Sigma Phase, Corp. “Frozen yogurt made with the ColdSnap machine has a dense, velvety texture, and frozen cocktails (including Margaritas, Pina Coladas, Daiquiris, and Mud Slides) have a silky smooth consistency that is virtually impossible to replicate in any home or bar. In short, ColdSnap makes a smoother, better tasting product.”

Ideal for Home & Commercial Use

For the home, the ColdSnap system is perfect for better-tasting, fresher, frozen desserts and beverages, with individual selections to fit everyone’s taste. ColdSnap Pods are great for an everyday treat, family fun, parties, or special events – without the advance preparation or hard-to-clean mess of traditional ice cream makers and blenders. The ColdSnap system is also ideal for offices, cafeterias, gyms and spas, car dealerships, and other service providers as a one-of-a-kind benefit for businesses that want to encourage and reward employees or customers.

In addition, convenience stores, and other commercial settings, such as airports and hotels, 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 (they are shelf stable at room temperature) and without the daily clean-up required of contemporary frozen confection and beverage machines. The ColdSnap system provides higher margins since the machine doesn’t have to be plumbed for installation, cleaned after use, and the Pods do not require refrigeration.

ColdSnap Eliminates the Traditional Cold Supply Chain

ColdSnap Pods are shelf-stable and can be shipped at ambient temperature. As a result, the ColdSnap system is independent of the expensive, unreliable, and environmentally unfriendly cold chain that is used to bring factory-frozen ice cream and other frozen products to market. ColdSnap has potential to grow in the already massive global ice cream market, including geographies where the cold chain is weak and unreliable.

Revolutionizes Direct-To-Consumer Ice Cream Opportunities while Reducing Carbon Emissions

ColdSnap revolutionizes the direct-to-consumer ice cream experience. Through the ColdSnap system, ice cream can now be shipped direct-to-consumer both to homes and offices without the use of dry ice or cold storage, reducing the costs traditionally associated with shipping frozen ice cream. Additionally, 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%. ColdSnap Pods are recyclable, made from infinitely recyclable Aluminum.

Made for Heavy-Duty Professional Grade Use

ColdSnap is made robustly for commercial use. The ColdSnap system produces multiple consecutive frozen confections without requiring a time-consuming re-cooling phase. The machine accepts shelf-stable, ambient temperature ColdSnap Pods, then repeatably freezes and dispenses the contents of the Pods.

The ColdSnap Story

When nightly bedtime stories grew dull for Matt Fonte and his two daughters, they decided to swap magic tree house and fairytale princess books for a more creative past-time: invention journals. Topping the list of potential inventions: a better ice cream machine for at-home use without all the hassle. His daughters envisioned a Keurig®-style machine that could generate ice cream immediately without a mess. This inspired Fonte, a serial entrepreneur, who saw great potential in the idea.

To execute this invention, Fonte formed Sigma Phase, Corp. in October 2018 in Massachusetts, with the singular objective to transform the way frozen confections were produced, transported, purchased, and enjoyed. The Company has already been awarded 13 patents with another 40 patent applications pending. ColdSnap has the promise to disrupt the massive global ice cream market with its delicious, personalized, frozen confectionery experience, including in geographies where the cold chain is weak and unreliable.
