Sonicdutch Korea is a coffee technology company based in Suwon, South Korea, that has developed a method for making cold brew coffee in as little as five minutes. Founded by CEO Sang Jun Lee, the company addresses the lengthy extraction times and potential hygiene issues of traditional cold brewing by using its proprietary 'Sonic Sound Wave' technology. Lee, who holds a Q-Grader certification, was inspired to find a mechanical solution for coffee extraction after seeing a video of someone manually shaking coffee in a tumbler.
The company's core technology utilizes sound waves to create precise, vertical vibrations in the water. This agitation rapidly and evenly mixes the ground coffee and water, achieving in five to ten minutes a brew concentration that would typically take over 10 hours. This accelerated process not only saves time but also enhances hygiene by preventing the bacterial growth associated with long, room-temperature steeping. The resulting coffee is described as having a smooth texture, low bitterness, and lower caffeine content.
Sonicdutch Korea offers a range of coffee machines for both commercial and household use, including the Supersonic S1, M, and L models. The machines allow users to control extraction time, vibration intensity, and frequency to customize the flavor profile. Some models also feature built-in Bluetooth speakers, allowing users to play music during the brewing process. The company primarily generates revenue through the sale of these machines. Having started B2B partnerships in 2017, the company's products are used in approximately 2,500 coffee shops in Korea and have been exported to the US, Japan, Turkey, and Indonesia. Sonicdutch has secured multiple patents in Korea and internationally (US, Japan, China) and has obtained FCC, CE, and other certifications to facilitate global expansion.
