New interpretation of iced coffee, Coffee Nitro grabs brewed coffee and infuses it with nitrogen gas before serving, making it frothy, much like beer. Coffee aficionados relish this new twist on their favorite hot drink.
The first Nitro Coffee was ‘discovered’ in the US in 2012. Several creative and/or lovers of the original hot brew worked for months seeking the best way to achieve a creamy, cold coffee, much like the little bubbles that stabilize the creamy froth on the head of beers. When they finally found the perfect balance of coffee and creaminess, coffee lovers flocked to this icy drink, touting the flavors and aromas which were enhanced by Nitro Coffee and creamy foam. Nitrogen therefore affect two things, the taste and texture of the coffee, while providing an alternative to one of the most consumed beverages in the world.
