nitro coffee

Creamy cold caffeine

Nitro coffee is cold-brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas, served on tap like beer.

The nitrogen creates a creamy, cascading effect and smooth texture without adding milk or sugar: The café just started serving nitro coffee on draft.

The drink became popular in specialty coffee shops in the 2010s.
