ColdPerk launches larger coffee concentrate system for roasteries and producers
ColdPerk used World of Coffee San Diego to debut the Commissary 70, a 70-pound concentrate system built for RTD, wholesale, and commissary production.
World of Coffee San Diego became the launch pad for ColdPerk’s biggest move yet: the Commissary 70, a high-volume concentrate system built for roasteries, beverage makers, and central kitchens chasing the next wave of cold coffee. The show, held April 10-12 in San Diego, drew more than 17,000 people and packed more than 600 exhibitors into one room, which made it a natural place to introduce equipment aimed at the part of coffee that increasingly ends up in grocery coolers, café taps, and bottled RTD lines.
The Commissary 70 is built for scale, not countertop experimentation. ColdPerk says the machine can hold up to 70 pounds of wet grounds and brew batches ranging from roughly 70 to 105 liters, with a full cycle from pre-wetting through cleaning and reset finished in less than two hours. The platform is almost entirely stainless steel, sits on locking industrial casters, and uses a 360-degree tilting brew vessel with an internal rinser to make cleanup easier after a production run. The only electronic component meters water delivery from a plumbed source, keeping the system mechanically simple for commercial use.
That simplicity is part of the appeal for operators trying to standardize concentrate production. ColdPerk is aiming the machine at roasters entering cold brew or concentrate production, multi-café groups running commissaries, and packaging operations that need a base liquid for wholesale and retail drinks. The SCA Best New Product Awards entry for the unit says the patent-pending DWIP Manifold can generate up to 100 gallons of RTD in less than two hours, a speed claim that matters when the real bottleneck is often handling, cooling, and cleaning rather than extraction itself. Faster turnaround also shortens in-fridge time, which the company says can help with health department compliance.
The new machine fits a product ladder ColdPerk has been building for the last year. The company introduced the Café 2 at SCA Expo in Houston in April 2025 as an electronics-free countertop brewer for espresso-strength concentrate, then followed with a launch price of $1,300 and a maximum two-pound coffee capacity. That brewer makes ColdSpro concentrate up to 12 Brix in about eight to 10 minutes. ColdPerk’s own site now lists the Café 2 at $995, which suggests the line has already moved toward wider access even as the company pushes into industrial-scale production.
ColdPerk’s leadership reflects that split between practical engineering and specialty coffee know-how. John A. Green brings 20 years in construction, while Randy Anderson brings 25 years in specialty coffee and 12 years working on cold brew solutions. The DWIP Manifold name was filed for trademark protection on December 2, 2024, underscoring that ColdPerk is not just selling a brewer. It is trying to own a production system for the coffee category that keeps showing up in tap handles, grocery shelves, and ready-to-drink cases.
