CDR CoffeeLab®: coffee analysis from fruit to cup
CDR CoffeeLab® is an innovative coffee analysis system. Derived from the CDR WineLab® oenological analysis system, it allows analyses to be carried out to control fermentation processes and to define the chemical profile of green beans, roasted coffee and the beverage.
All applications
Your lab in the plantation and in the roastery
With CDR CoffeeLab® you can analyse the ripening of the fruit and check the fermentation process in the plantation.
In the roastery you can independently analyse green coffee and roasted coffee and check the differences according to the different roasting levels.
From harvest to cup, the analysis system useful throughout the coffee chain
CDR CoffeeLab® is a tool for analysing the chemical profile of coffee at the various stages of the production process, through the determination of total acidity, individual organic acids and sugars.
You will have at your disposal in a single instrument the analyses for the control of the fermentation process.
With CDR CoffeeLab® you can carry out fruit and fermentation liquid analyses, monitoring the level of organic acids and sugars.
You can systematically and scientifically control the development of these substances, which, as they transfer to the bean during fermentation, you will find in your cup in the form of new, more complex aromas.
CDR CoffeeLab® is:
Reliable
The instrument ensures results in accordance with reference methods. The use of LED reading cells guarantees high sensitivity, a wide measuring range and excellent repeatability of the results.
Simple
The analytical methods are simpler than traditional ones. The system can be used not only in the laboratory, but also on the production line in real time, by non-expert operators. In addition, the instrument has a Help function for step-by-step user guide.
Fast
The methods developed in CDR laboratories speed up the analysis procedures: sample preparation is absent or very simple and analyses are carried out in just a few steps. It is possible to analyse several samples simultaneously or manage the determination of several analytical parameters at the same time of the same sample.

Frequently Asked Questions about CDR CoffeeLab®
A: The system’s reliability is confirmed by studies from universities and specialized institutes. Our clients worldwide attest to its effectiveness: Some methods are used by prestigious multinational groups
A: Each CDR test method is correlated with the corresponding international reference method, and in some cases is also adopted by accredited laboratories.
A: At startup, the instrument automatically checks the reading cell and blocks the analysis if an error is detected. In addition, CDR provides Control Solutions, samples with predefined results that allow users to regularly verify both instrument performance and operator accuracy. Integration with SAP further supports monitoring of the system’s status.
A: Because CDR CoffeeLab® analyzers are factory pre-calibrated together with their reagents, with calibration data embedded in the instrument and each reagent lot aligned to previous lots; an automatic self-check at every startup verifies performance, so routine user calibration is unnecessary, with fine-tuning available if necessary when aligning to alternative methods or legacy datasets.

A: No, CDR CoffeeLab® requires neither maintenance nor periodic cleaning.
This is possible thanks to its optical technology based on an LED reading cell, which does not need calibration or periodic replacement, unlike traditional tungsten lamps or other more delicate systems. No drift over time, no corrective action required.
Its compact and robust design also makes the instrument ideal for direct use on production lines, even in demanding operational environments such as olive mills, wineries, breweries, or plants with industrial fryers.
Many of our customers have been using CDR CoffeeLab® for years, performing hundreds of analyses per week, without ever having to stop operations for maintenance activities.A: No Qualified technicians is needed: the system is intuitive and accessible to anyone.
A: Yes. CDR FoodLab® uses reagents in minimal quantities, significantly reducing operator risks compared to traditional methods. Additionally, it ensures sustainability through micro-analysis, which minimizes reagent use, waste, and emissions while maintaining safety and efficiency in food and beverage quality control.
