What You Need
To embark on this nitro cold brew adventure, you’ll need the following:
- Sodastream device
- Nitro charger
- Cold brew concentrate
- CO2 canister
- Optional: Creamer or milk (for a creamy finish)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare the Cold Brew Concentrate: Brew a batch of cold brew using your preferred method. Let it chill in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 12 hours.
2. Insert Nitro Charger: Attach the nitro charger to the head of your Sodastream device. Make sure it’s securely in place.
3. Fill the Bottle: Pour the cold brew concentrate into the Sodastream bottle, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
4. Carbonate: Insert the CO2 canister into the Sodastream and carbonate the cold brew for about 30 seconds. You’ll notice the liquid turning a darker, richer hue.
5. Shake Vigorously: Remove the bottle and shake it vigorously for 10-15 seconds. This will create the signature creamy texture.
6. Pour and Enjoy: Pour the nitro cold brew into a glass and top with creamer or milk if desired. Marvel at the cascading bubbles and velvety smoothness as you savor every sip.
Benefits of Nitro Cold Brew
- Velvety Texture: The nitrogen infusion creates a smooth, creamy texture that mimics the texture of a Guinness beer.
- Enhanced Flavor: The nitrogen enhances the cold brew’s flavor profile, bringing out subtle notes and aromas.
- Reduced Acidity: Nitrogenation reduces the acidity of the cold brew, making it less harsh on the stomach.
- Aesthetic Appeal: The cascading bubbles add a visually stunning element to your beverage, making it a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds.
Tips for Perfect Nitro Cold Brew
- Use freshly brewed cold brew for optimal flavor.
- Carbonate the cold brew for the recommended amount of time. Over-carbonating can result in a bitter taste.

Nitro Cold Brew Variations
- Creamy Nitro: Add a splash of creamer or milk to your nitro cold brew for a rich, indulgent treat.
- Nitro Iced Coffee: Brew regular iced coffee and carbonate it using the nitro charger. Top with ice for a refreshing, nitrogenated iced coffee.
- Nitro Cold Brew Latte: Pour nitro cold brew over steamed milk for a velvety, café-style latte.
