Edward van Noord
Owner and inventor.
The man behind the idea, and 40 years of hospitality behind the man.
OUR STORY
Invented behind a bar in Amsterdam.
For 40 years, Edward van Noord has run Coco's Outback, our family's hospitality business in Amsterdam. Four decades of busy terraces means four decades of watching the same thing happen: a bottle comes out perfectly cold, but the last part of the bottle is warm.
The problem
Ice buckets were the only answer, and not a good one. They sweat onto the table, drip on every pour, water down the drink, and need topping up all evening. At home it's annoying. On a full terrace, it's a daily headache.
We tried the alternatives. Sleeves that don't really cool. Buckets that still need ice. Nothing kept a bottle properly cold through a whole evening, and nothing looked good enough to leave on the table.
So Edward invented one
The Coolenator uses a removable freezer bullet instead of ice. Freeze the bullet, slide it in, and your bottle stays cold for hours. No ice, no water, no puddles, and nothing diluting your drink.
It started with wine. Today the range covers wine, champagne, beer and wine glasses, because once you stop using ice for one drink, you notice it everywhere.
Who we are
Coolenator is a father-and-daughter company from the Netherlands.
Amy van Noord
Co-founder. Runs the brand, the design, and how it looks on your table.
Invented and stocked in the Netherlands
Coolenator was invented here and ships from our own stock here. We pick and pack every order ourselves, not a fulfilment warehouse. Every Coolenator can be personalised with a name, date or message in our own warehouse in Mijdrecht, so it's ready fast and checked by the people who designed it.
What we don't compromise on
It has to actually work.
It was tested on a real terrace before it was ever sold.
It has to look good.
It sits next to the glasses, not under the table.
It has to last.
One Coolenator for years, not another gadget for the drawer.
Retire your ice bucket.
