    What is Nitro Brew?

    Nitro brew coffee is essentially cold brewed coffee that is injected with nitrogen. The nitrogen makes the coffee fizzy and creamy. A good cup of nitro brew will have a thick layer of foam on the top and taste slightly carbonated.

    Nitro brew is very strong. It is made with cold brew coffee which is made with concentrated coffee. Since the coffee to water ratio is higher, it does have more caffeine than a regular cup of coffee.

    Nitrogen cartridges or nitrous oxide cartridges are used to make nitro brew. The nitrogen is what gives the coffee its fizz and also the smooth, thick texture.

    How to Make Nitro Cold Brew at Home?

    Nitro Brew is not hard at all to make. In fact, it will only take you about 5 minutes to make the cold brew coffee. The trick to nitro brew is having the right equipment. You do need a nitro brew machine to make this fizzy drink.

    Nitro brew canisters are not too expensive for a base model. However, the price can go up for a fancier, prettier nitro brew machine. However, the most basic nitro brew machine will work just fine. You can get coffee shop quality no matter which machine you have!

    Here’s a quick look at how to make nitro brew coffee:

    1. Mix coffee grinds and water together. Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
    2. Let the coffee and water sit for at least a day to develop a strong flavor.
    3. Strain the coffee very well to get all the grinds out.
    4. Pour the strained coffee into a nitro coffee machine.
    5. Charge the machine using the nitrogen or nitrous oxide canisters.
    6. Shake the container well to really get all the nitrogen into the coffee.
    7. Let the coffee sit for about 30 minutes to allow the nitrogen to soak into the coffee.
    8. Pour and enjoy a big cold glass of homemade nitro brew!

    Seems simple enough! There’s no need to ever go to the coffee shop again. Now, you can make nitro brew right in your own kitchen.

    minutes

    Ingredients

    • 3 ½ cups ground coffee, dark roast

    • 4 cups water

    • ¼ tsp vanilla extract

    Directions

    • Stir the coffee grounds, water and vanilla together in a large bowl.
    • Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 24 hours.
    • Place a strainer over a separate large bowl and put a coffee filter in the strainer to line it completely (you may need one or two filters to really line the strainer).
    • Slowly pour the cold brewed coffee into the strainer. You may need to pour half the coffee, let it strain and then pour the rest so as not to overflow the filter liner strainer.
    • Discard the coffee ground left behind in the strainer.
    • Pour the cold brewed coffee into the container of your nitro brew machine. Each machine will vary in size so be sure to pour in the correct quantity of liquid.
    • Screw the top on your nitro brew machine and charge the container with the nitrogen cartridge according to your machines directions. Shake the Nitro brew container well and let it sit for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
    • Dispense the nitro brew coffee from the machine and enjoy cold.

    Tips and Tricks

    • • Pure nitrogen cartridges will give you a creamier nitro brew while nitrous oxide will make a foamier coffee.
