Nitro coffee has taken the world by storm, offering a smooth, creamy, and frothy alternative to traditional cold brew. If you love the rich texture and cascading effect of nitro coffee at cafés, why not make it at home? With a coffee keg system, you can easily enjoy barista-quality nitro cold brew anytime.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of making nitro coffee using a coffee keg system, including why TMCRAFT Coffee Kegs are the perfect choice.


What is Nitro Coffee?

Nitro coffee is cold brew infused with nitrogen gas (N2) to create a creamy, foamy texture. The nitrogen bubbles are smaller than CO2 bubbles, giving nitro coffee a silky mouthfeel and naturally sweet taste without added sugar or dairy.

Why Use a Coffee Keg for Nitro Coffee?

Freshness – Sealed kegs keep coffee fresh for weeks
Consistent Infusion – Ensures even nitrogen distribution
Cost-Effective – Saves money compared to coffee shops
Portability – Perfect for home, office, or outdoor events


How to Use a Coffee Keg for Nitro Cold Brew

Step 1: Brew Your Cold Brew Coffee

  1. Choose Quality Coffee Beans – Opt for medium or dark roast for a rich flavor.
  2. Grind Coarse – A French press grind is ideal for cold brew.
  3. Steep in Cold Water – Mix coffee grounds and water in a 1:4 ratio and steep for 12-24 hours in the fridge.
  4. Strain – Use a fine mesh filter to remove coffee grounds.

Step 2: Fill the Coffee Keg

  1. Sanitize the TMCRAFT Coffee Keg to prevent contamination.
  2. Pour the filtered cold brew into the keg, leaving some space for nitrogen infusion.
  3. Secure the keg lid tightly.

Step 3: Infuse with Nitrogen

  1. Attach a Nitrogen (N2) or Nitrous Oxide (N2O) cartridge to the keg regulator.
  2. Set the pressure to 35-45 PSI and shake the keg to help the gas dissolve.
  3. Let the keg sit in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours (or overnight) for full infusion.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Attach the faucet tap to the keg.
  2. Pour into a glass and watch the cascading bubbles form a creamy top layer.
  3. Enjoy your smooth, rich nitro cold brew!
