You don't want to use Nitrous you want to use N2
Unlike what was said at 00:07, this video shows how to infuse cold-brew coffee with nitrous oxide, not nitrogen.
She great at explaining but this method is mediocre
Really messed it up proposing making cold-brew concentrate in the whipper instead of the usual process. That is 99% of your complaints. If you just showed how to make just the nitro cold-brew with the usual cold-brew concentrate method, a normal but slow process without so much ridiculous waste, you wouldn't have such a messy comment section.
Too many steps 🚶♂️
This was ridiculous. Too many steps and too many nitro chargers. If you do this just start with cold brew coffee – and you should be able to dispense straight from the charger, no pouring. Her versions takes like an hour and then some. I could walk to 3 coffee shops in that amount of time.
This doesn't seem right to me at all…
Why discharge the gas? Shouldn't you be pouring it through the nozzle to, you know, whip the coffee?…
Looks flat and like a waste of effort.

What does Starbucks charge for nitro brew?
So are you using Nitrogen or Nitrous Oxide ? I could be wrong but I think you just want nitrogen for coffee don't you ?
In other words,
Take equal parts cold brew conentrate and cold filtered water
Fill the container of a cream whipper, and charge it with a canister
Shake
Release the nitrous so you don’t make a mini bomb
Finally, unscrew the top and pour out the nitro cold brew.
To make quick cold brew, use the 5-6 nitrous oxide canisters
Yall really took an L on this video
So if you brew the coldbrew normally beforehand you'd only need to one cartridge for the foam
Or people can just do the overnight cold brew then fill up the whipper using 1 nitro charge… it’s a very informative video, but not practical for the average person that wants cold brew.
And ten years later, the coffee is finally ready to be consumed.
those n2o cartridges are disgusting, full of grease
Ill take my whippits in balloons not coffee thank you very much
What a waste of whipits.
This is literally the dumbest crap I’ve seen. All that crap you did at the start with 4 nitro canisters does nothing. All the nitrogen will flash off as you’re decanting and filtering. Get a Kegworks uKeg for $170 and do this with 1 cartridge and serve cold brew on tap complete with Guinness like cascade of bubbles etc.
I ll just drink my organic instant coffee
I think I’ll go to Starbucks 🤪
So all those cartridges get tossed into a landfill? I’ll take my coffee with a bit of cream and sugar to edge out the bitterness.
Nitrous oxide NO2 and Nitrogen N2 are completely different things! NO2 (nitrous, laughing gas) has medical effects and should be used with caution. Nitrogen N2 is the only proper thing to infuse coffee with.
N2O and n2 are totally different things lady. You need to use N2 cartridges. you really don't need to waste that many either. You just need one.
Seeing that this video is designed for home consumers, I strongly disagree with this video on so many levels:
– Using N2O charges to make cold brew concentrate is prohibitively expensive.
– For making such a small amount of coffee overall, it makes no sense for a home user to make a concentrate. Concentrate is mainly used for coffee shops that have limited fridge space. Home users should just use a large lidded pitcher with DISTILLED water and coffee grounds. Cheaper and easier.
– Instead of using so many N2O charges, why not just use the iSi Nitro Whip dispenser and ONE charge. No need to disperse the excess nitrogen ( because that just flattens the coffee more thus defeating the purpose of charging it). Charge and serve.

Mine as well just go to starbucks
or just buy it from starbucks and save yourselves some time
This makes crack seem like a wholesome bargain.
FML, I’ll just go to Starbucks and get it in 5 mins.
we have new nitro coffee machine,no gar cylinder.no fridge.just minutes. You can have a cup of nitrogen ice coffee, if you are interested, you can contact us.
We should have the ability to vote this video to be removed! It's giving such bad information
WTF? I think she's been inhaling nitrogen that's leaking from all of the canisters she's been using.
They should've made the video into 2 DISTINCT parts: Part 1 non-speedy method to completion, then part 2, speedy method. 2nd comment: To charge, then discharge, then recharge, makes no sense. The coffee in the vessel will only absorb a certain amount of nitro. If you are releasing pressure, then there is plenty of nitro left in the vessle.. adding another cartrige is doing NOTHING BUT WASTING NITRO CANISTERS. ASK anyone that uses C02 to make soda pop at home. They don't keep changing canisters!
This is a dumb way to do it. You should just make regular cold brew, pour it in the whipper, charge with a single cartridge, and pour it out of the nozzle instead of just releasing all the gas by taking off the lid.
