Nitro Cold Brew is a smooth and creamy version of cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. It has a velvety texture, a visually appealing cascading effect when poured, and a subtle sweetness.

How Does It Taste?

Nitrogen makes coffee taste smoother and less bitter. It often has a rich, velvety texture and creamy mouthfeel. The nitrogen makes the coffee taste sweet. The creamy texture means you may not need to add cream or sugar.

Brewing Process

Like regular cold brew, nitro cold brew starts with coarsely ground coffee beans steeped in cold water. After steeping, the cold brew is filtered. Regular cold brew is ready to be served, but nitro cold brew is infused with nitrogen gas to create its signature texture and flavor.

Creamy Texture

Nitro cold brew has a creamy, velvety texture. The nitrogen infusion creates tiny bubbles that give nitro cold brew a frothy, cascading effect, similar to a stout beer.

Presentation

Nitro cold brew is often served on tap, much like draft beer, and poured into a glass without ice to preserve its creamy texture and cascading bubbles.

Antioxidant Content

Nitro Cold Brew retains the antioxidants naturally present in coffee beans. Antioxidants help the body fight oxidative stress and inflammation, which can lead to better health.

Is Nitro Cold Brew Carbonated?

No, nitro cold brew is not carbonated. The nitrogen infusion creates a different type of bubble than carbon dioxide, it doesn't have the fizz of carbonated drinks like soda.
