So, what exactly is nitro coffee?
As the word "nitro" suggests, it is basically coffee with nitrogen added to it. The addition of this colourless and odourless gas creates a coffee that is smoother than regular coffee.
Think, coffee with a beautiful cascading effect and a rich head of foam to top it off. The resulting thick and creamy texture brings to mind another drink that is served and drunk in a similar manner: beer.
It is for this reason that nitro cofee does not typically require milk or creamer to enhance the texture. Thanks to the nitro, coffee that is served black will have a hint of sweetness without actually comtaining sugar. This makes for a calorie-free drink, and is ideal for anyone who is counting their calories.
However, depending on personal preference, nitro coffee can be enjoyed in many ways. Whether poured over ice, with dairy/non-dairy of your choice or your choice of syrup, the drinking of nitro coffee really depends on individual preference.
At the same time, nitro cold brew coffee has lover acidity compared to regular coffee as it is cold brewed. It is only when coffee is subjected to higher temperatures in the range of 90–96°C that the acids in coffee would manifest.
This results in a richer, less sour taste which is more palatable for most people, not to mention that it is also less harsh on the gut. Those who are susceptible to stomach upsets and digestive problems would benefit greatly from nitro coffee.
Similar to beer, this unique brew is usually stored in a keg, pressurized and dispensed from a tap. So, it should come as no surprise that nitro cold brew coffee is normally priced higher than regular coffee, and is more labour-intensive to produce.
Given that it is a nitrogen-enriched drink, the coffee would have to be served with nitrogen, thus making nitrogen tanks an indispensable part of the serving process. But Aromat Coffee has come up with a revolutionary method to serve nitro cold brew coffee, all without the hassle that comes with having to use nitrogen tanks.
