CDR CoffeeLab is the system for analyzing coffee from fruit to cup through the important control of the fermentation process.
CDR CoffeeLab, composed of the analysis instrument and dedicated reagents, is designed for process control during fermentations as well as on green, roasted and Espresso coffee.
These multiple applications make CDR CoffeeLab a tool that bridges the worlds of coffee from origins to roasting.
CDR CoffeeLab is therefore a system dedicated to various potential users: producers and origin research bodies, traders of green coffee, roasters, operators in the sector and coffee shop owners: all the players therefore who gravitate around the world of coffee and its complex supply chain.
The main parameters that can be controlled today are the organic acids and sugars in all phases from the fruit to the roasted coffee up to the cup, in addition to the alcohol that is generated in the fermentation tanks.
The aim is to obtain data that allow the characterization and improvement of the product through new production control methods.
In the plantation
In the plantation, through the analytical control of fermentations it will be possible to control, differentiate and increase the quality with the definition of objective parameters, during the process of transformation of the fruit into dried green coffee.
At the Research and Training Centre of the Instituto Hondureño del Café – CIC-JAP IHCAFE – located in La Fé, Honduras, the following analyses were performed in order to monitor the fermentation process

Roasted coffee
The definition of a chemical profile of roasted coffee and Espresso through the quantification of parameters, such as organic acids and sugars, aims at objectifying organoleptic characteristics with the goal of complementing sensory analyses with instrumental ones, with the creation of a panel of information that combines human and technological components.

DownloadKnowledge and experience
CDR CoffeeLab was created thanks to CDR's knowledge and experience in the development of analysis systems for fermentation control in the food and beverage sector.
Indeed, CDR designs and manufactures analysis systems for process and quality control of wine, beer, kombucha, milk and many other food products with: CDR WineLab®, CDR BeerLab®, CDR KombuchaLab, CDR FoodLab®.
CDR CoffeeLab is developed with the collaboration and support of Accademia del Caffè Espresso and the Instituto Hondureño del Café (IHCAFE).
