Nitro at Home Made Simple: Setting Up Your Coffee Keg for Cold Brew Bliss

If you’ve ever dreamed of enjoying barista-quality nitro coffee at home, a coffee keg system is your ultimate solution. With the right setup, you can serve smooth, creamy, and perfectly carbonated cold brew straight from your fridge. This guide walks you through everything you need to know to create a home nitro coffee station with TMCRAFT Coffee Kegs.

Why Use a Coffee Keg for Nitro Brewing?

A coffee keg allows you to infuse cold brew with nitrogen gas (N₂), giving it that signature creamy head and velvety texture. Unlike traditional cold brew, nitro coffee feels richer on the palate and pours like a draught beverage. The benefits include:

  • Smooth, creamy texture
  • Long-lasting carbonation without stirring
  • Convenient on-demand serving

With TMCRAFT Coffee Kegs, you get a system designed for durability, easy cleaning, and optimal nitrogen infusion.

Step 1: Brew Your Cold Brew

Start with a high-quality coffee:

  1. Coarsely grind fresh coffee beans.
  2. Combine 1 cup of coffee with 4 cups of cold filtered water.
  3. Steep in the fridge for 12–24 hours.
  4. Strain the coffee concentrate through a fine mesh or coffee filter to remove grounds.

Step 2: Fill and Chill Your Coffee Keg

  1. Pour your cold brew concentrate into the TMCRAFT Coffee Keg.
  2. Seal the keg with the lid and ensure all fittings are tight.
  3. Chill the keg to 38–42°F (3–6°C)—cold temperatures help nitrogen stay in solution and create a smooth pour.

Step 3: Nitrogen Infusion

  1. Connect your nitrogen gas cartridge or tank to the coffee keg using the TMCRAFT-compatible regulator.
  2. Set the pressure to 35–40 PSI for optimal nitrogen infusion.
  3. Shake gently or let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow nitrogen to dissolve into the coffee.

Step 4: Pour and Enjoy

Attach your tap or faucet, tilt your glass at 45°, and pour slowly. You’ll see the cascading nitrogen bubbles forming the signature creamy head. Serve plain or with a touch of sweet cream for a café-style experience.
