☕ Love Nitro Coffee? Make It at Home with a Coffee Keg

There’s nothing quite like the smooth, creamy texture of a nitro cold brew on tap at your favorite café. But what if you could recreate that luxurious pour at home—any time, any day?

With a quality coffee keg system, crafting barista-level nitro coffee is not only possible, it’s surprisingly easy. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or a weekend brewer, a home coffee system using a nitro coffee maker offers the convenience, freshness, and consistency you’ve been craving.

Let’s break down how it works—and why TMCRAFT Coffee Kegs are the ideal choice for your DIY coffee bar.


🎯 What Is a Coffee Keg and How Does It Work?

A coffee keg, sometimes referred to as a cold brew keg, is a pressurized container specifically designed to store and dispense cold brew or nitro coffee. These mini keg systems use nitrogen (N₂) or nitrous oxide (N₂O) cartridges to infuse cold brew coffee with micro-bubbles, creating that iconic creamy head.

Key Components:

  • Stainless steel keg body
  • Pressure-rated lid with dispensing system
  • Nitro-compatible tap
  • Regulator and gas cartridge (N₂ or N₂O)

TMCRAFT’s line of Coffee Kegs are compact, durable, and perfect for daily home use. They’re engineered to hold pressure, maintain freshness, and deliver that cascading nitro effect every time you pour.


🛠️ How to Brew Nitro Coffee at Home (Step-by-Step)

Cold Brew Your Coffee
Steep coarsely ground coffee in cold, filtered water (1:4 ratio) for 12–24 hours. Strain thoroughly.

Fill Your Cold Brew Keg
Pour the filtered brew into your clean TMCRAFT Coffee Keg. Fill only about 80% to leave room for pressure.

Charge with Nitrogen
Attach your nitro coffee maker tap system and screw in a nitrogen cartridge. Shake the keg to mix the gas.

Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least one hour. When ready, pull the tap handle for a smooth nitro pour, just like at a café.

Pro Tip: Use N₂ for silky, cascading pours and N₂O if you want to preserve more aroma and flavor intensity.
