ActiveChill

Intelligent cooling for premium iced coffee preparation

Delivering premium iced coffee consistently can be challenging when quality depends on manual preparation. ActiveChill simplifies the process by cooling freshly brewed coffee during dispensing, helping preserve flavor, reduce dilution, and improve consistency from cup to cup.

Franke Coffee Systems ActiveChill technology, cooling coffee for iced beverages, machine with iced coffee drinks

Pouring hot coffee directly over ice compromises the drinking experience. Ice melts quickly, flavor becomes diluted, and quality varies from cup to cup.

ActiveChill solves this challenge. By cooling freshly brewed coffee immediately after extraction, ActiveChill helps preserve aroma and taste while reducing ice melt. The result is a richer and more consistent iced coffee experience. Freshly brewed. Rapidly chilled. Ready to serve.

 

Behind the technology

ActiveChill cools freshly brewed coffee from 88–92°C down to 35–40°C during dispensing. This means the coffee reaches the ice cubes already chilled after they have been pre-added to the cup by the operator.

By cooling coffee immediately after extraction, the technology helps preserve aroma and flavor while reducing rapid ice melt during iced beverage preparation.

Integrated directly into the coffee machine and combined with Franke’s iQFlow™ technology, ActiveChill supports consistent premium beverage preparation with minimal manual effort.

Fresh extraction at optimal brewing temperature

Step 1: Fresh coffee is brewed at 88–92°C. During extraction, Franke’s iQFlow™ technology continuously controls the brewing process to ensure consistent beverage quality, flavor and aroma in every cup.

Instant cooling during dispensing

Step 2: As the coffee passes through ActiveChill, it is cooled from 88–92°C down to 35–40°C within the machine while being dispensed.

Coffee reaches the cup already chilled

Step 3: The operator places ice cubes into the cup before dispensing. The coffee reaches the ice already chilled, preserving more of its aroma and flavor while minimizing ice melt and dilution.

Less ice melt, more flavor

Step 4: Enjoy a refreshing iced coffee experience with balanced taste and consistent quality in every cup.
