One of the most stunning inventions in the coffee industry was producing a new coffee beverage called “nitro coffee”. How did it happen that the extremely popular Cold Brew – refreshing, fragrant, invigorating drink, suddenly gained such popularity in a new quality?
Nitro coffee combines the coffee taste that everyone likes and the newest technologies of preparation. What are its main features:
- Nitro coffee is served without ice, it is cooled in the process of preparation.
- It is well stored and can be prepared in advance (nitrogen prevents the oxidation of coffee).
- Compared to hot coffee, the nitro portion is more effective for boosting up because its base is Cold Brew. The nitrogen bubbles help caffeine to be absorbed faster.
- Nitrogen shows its own sweetness and creamy taste of nitro coffee, so you do not need to add sugar and cream to it.
Nitro Coffee VS Cold Brew
How is cold brew different from nitro coffee? These are two methods of brewing coffee with cold water, but there are nuances:
The basis of both drinks is cold brew. The choice of grain depends on the taste preferences of the producer and ideas of what the drink should be.
Freshly ground coffee is poured with cold water and infused for 22-24 hours, then filtered.
- Cold Brew – after filtering the drink is kept in the refrigerator and poured chilled to the consumers. Do not aerate.
- Nitro coffee – after filtration is passed through a cooling station and in parallel saturated with nitrogen, hence the name “nitro”.
Nitro Station
The nitro station looks like a beer keg – with a valve filled with ground cold-extracted coffee. But unlike the keg, the station has some improvements like a nitrogen cylinder. Thus, the saturation of coffee with nitrogen occurs under pressure by means of a cooling nitro station with a valve system. Turning the valves, we already get ready nitro coffee in a cup.
