A cup of coffee is all you need to energize yourself before the start of a day. There are so many types of coffee you can have like a dark roast or mellow roast and there are multiple ways to prepare a good cup of coffee too like a latte, mocha or even regular drip. So, when cold brew, a special type of two-day pressed coffee, hit the market people were sceptical. But low and behold, cold brew turned out to be pretty great because of its low acidity and soft flavours. In 2011, however, people developed a new way to produce cold brew - The Nitro Brew.
The Nitro Brew has some uncertain origins but the three places that had a hand in its invention are Cuvee Coffee in Austin, Texas and Stumptown in Portland, Oregon and The Queens Kickshaw in New York. In 2016, Starbucks took up the Nitro Brew trend and introduced it in multiple stores across the world. Now, you can find a nitro brew in most coffee places like Dunkin' and Costa Coffee at reasonable rates.
Nitro brew rose to fame because of its taste, it delivers higher amounts of caffeine without giving you the dry-mouth effect. And, it is subjectively sweet and soft despite containing higher amounts of caffeine. The nitrogen aspect gives it a layer of foam on top, which sort of resembles draft beer. The gas also aerates the coffee making it a good choice to have alongside not just breakfast but also lunch and dinner in place of regular soda. It has also grown to popularity in bars and pubs. Similar to how beer is served on tap, the nitro brew is also served on tap.
Since nitro brew is free of dairy and sugar, it’s healthier and contains much lower calories. The only problem is, unlike cold brew which can be prepared at home, nitro brew requires a nitrogen canister and precision for you to be able to make an at-home version. So, there’s a good chance that developing a nitro brew obsession is going to become a costly venture.
