The uKeg Nitro infuses nitrous oxide into cold brew coffee while it’s being brewed or stored. Once you’re done brewing and ready to serve, the special nitro tap turbulates the cold brew coffee as it dispenses, leading to a full cascading pour, creamy texture and taste synonymous with nitro cold brew coffee.

The uKeg nitro comes with everything you need to make your own cold brew. A standard 12 cup batch uses about 2 cups of coarse ground coffee. You simply fill the specially sized brew bags, steep your cold brew under pressure (using included N2O cannister) for 12-24 hours, remove the bags and top off with clean water to dilute to your liking, then re-pressurize to serve.

The uKeg Nitro has several changes to optimize it for making and serving nitro cold brew coffee. There’s the nitro style tap faucet, the nitro cartridges, an added internal filter for coffee and a cap that’s been optimized for higher pressures for better gas infusion. We’ve also made several aesthetic changes specific to the uKeg Nitro to better represent it’s use for nitro cold brew coffee.

Every uKeg Nitro will come with the bags and nitro chargers needed to make two batches of nitro cold brew at home. When you order more nitro chargers from us you'll be able to specify if you want more brewing bags at no extra charge. We'll also offer the bags on their own for a small fee.

Unfortunately we're not able to ship compressed gas to these states because of DOT guidelines. So we'll have to remove the nitro gas chargers from your reward. There are still options to get your chargers in those locations and we can help you find the right ones.
