KAFFA FRESCO coffee freeze-drying technology
Freeze concentration
The key element of Sensoria technology is the freeze concentration process — FC (freeze concentration method). It allows the coffee extract to be handled differently even before the freeze-drying stage: concentrated with greater precision, preserving more valuable components and creating a higher-quality base for the future cup.
The coffee extract is cooled to a temperature below the freezing point of water. This prepares the system for precise and delicate concentration.
During cooling, part of the water turns into ice crystals. This makes it possible to separate it from the more concentrated coffee phase.
The concentrated liquid phase preserves the key coffee components — it becomes the foundation of a more expressive taste.
As a result of FC, the extract contains more than 30% higher dry solids than with traditional approaches. This makes the taste base more powerful and complete.
The already concentrated extract then goes through freeze-drying. This approach helps preserve up to 98% of valuable bioactive compounds and carry the taste into the cup with greater precision.
What the FC process gives
Freeze concentration matters not on its own, but because of how it changes the quality of the coffee extract before drying. This is the essence of Sensoria: to make freeze-dried coffee cleaner, more complete and closer to the feeling of natural coffee.
a more concentrated and higher-quality extract base
better preservation of taste and cup integrity
instant coffee feels cleaner and more convincing
the technology works for taste, not just for the process

Sensoria focuses not only on drying as the final stage, but on the quality of the extract before it. Thanks to the FC process, water is removed more efficiently, the concentration of dry solids becomes more than 30% higher, and preservation of bioactive compounds reaches up to 98%.
KAFFA FRESCO freeze-dried coffee line
One Sensoria technology — and four different taste accents. Below is the KAFFA FRESCO line: from a dense espresso-style cup to a softer and more balanced profile.
Dense and expressive freeze-dried coffee for a more intense cup. The taste reveals espresso-style strength, a deep chocolate tone and a darker, more focused character with a long aftertaste.
