Nitro cold brew is cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas, served on tap like a draft beer. The nitrogen creates a creamy, velvety texture with a thick, cascading head — no milk or sugar needed. It looks and feels like a premium drink because it is one.
The process starts with standard cold brew: coarsely ground coffee steeped in cold water for 12 to 24 hours. The difference comes at the end. Nitrogen gas is forced into the cold brew under high pressure, creating millions of tiny bubbles that give the drink its signature smooth, almost sweet mouthfeel. Unlike carbonation (CO2), nitrogen bubbles are smaller and don't create that sharp, fizzy bite.
Nitro cold brew typically has the same caffeine content as regular cold brew — the nitrogen doesn't add or remove caffeine. What it does change is the drinking experience. The natural sweetness from the nitrogen infusion means most people don't need to add sugar or cream, making it a cleaner option for those watching their intake.
You'll find nitro cold brew on tap at most specialty coffee shops, and it's increasingly available in cans with nitrogen widgets — small devices inside the can that release nitrogen when you crack it open.
Bare Brew takes a different approach. Our cold brew delivers the same smooth, bold experience with just two ingredients — Arabica coffee and water. With 320mg of clean caffeine and zero sugar, you get the intensity of nitro without the tap. Just pure, concentrated cold brew in a can.
