Welcome to the world of Nitro Cold Brew, a revolutionary coffee experience that combines the smooth richness of cold brew with the velvety texture of nitrogen infusion. This method, inspired by the craft beer industry, has taken the coffee world by storm in recent years.
Our recipe uses a blend of medium-dark roast coffee beans, coarsely ground and steeped for 16 hours to extract maximum flavor. The resulting concentrate is then infused with nitrogen gas, creating a cascading effect and a creamy mouthfeel without the need for added dairy. The result is a uniquely smooth, slightly sweet, and incredibly refreshing coffee that's perfect for warm days or as a pick-me-up any time of year.
