GrowlerWerksuKeg Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Maker, 50 oz, Black Chrome

i saw a friend had this the other day. i tried it myself and love it very much. some tips to use this: 1. it takes 16 gram cartilage. they are hard to find and cost more. most you see n2o cartilage for sale are made for whipping cream dispensers. those do not list their weight are either 2 , 4 or 8 grams version. 2. this keg takes internal cartilage. once inserted, you can add more pressure. so you have use the 16 g cartilage for a single batch. 3. shake it hard! turn the knob on infused and shake the devils out it! you will get a very nice head when pouring the brew out. 4. make a large batch of the cold brew. 1/2 gallons at a time. use very coarse grinds possible about 148 grams of coffee add 7 cups of cold filtered water. brew for 12 hours in frig. filter the coffee after with fine mesh to remove any grains. add the brew into the keg, add the gas. close the lid. store in frig and let it in fuses for over 10 hours. shake it and serve!

The media could not be loaded. After reading reviews I was skaptical about this product, worried that that coffee would be flat.There are things you can do to get a creamier head on your nitro coffee!1) Make sure your coffee is COLD. Instead of diluting with water, add ice.2) Leave the valve on infuse overnight3) Shake it longerWhat I love about this product:- It fits very nicely in my fridge- and I have an RV fridge!- I also have not had any leaks or dribbles out of the nozzle. It’s worked great for me!- it holds a good amount of cold brew- it came with 4 cold brew bags and the drip mat which was a nice surprise. (The brew bags can be reused, just turn them inside out and rinse, then hang to dry)- making the nitro cold brew was actually very easy to do.- the coffee tastes amazing. I got a milk frother so I can top it with cold foam and now I can fire Starbucks.- an added bonus is that this looks amazing on your counter.I highly recommend! 2 of my friends have bought one of these just from seeing mine.My video is of a pour, that picture I posted is topped with cream cold foam.

I've worked in the coffee industry for a +10 years. I love when a company creates a machine that allows me to enjoy my favorites in-home.What I enjoyed:1. Sleek DesignI love the black chrome finish; I'm not bougie, but it sure does look nice in my fridge. On that note, it fits in the fridge, which means it's surprisingly compact. The valves and gauges are user-friendly.2. Frothy, Delicious PourI used a single-origin Ethiopian bean for my first batch. I prefer African beans, as the have a bright, floral finish that lends itself to the quintessential crispness of iced coffee. The pour was super frothy at first, but the nitro-bubbles relaxed leaving a perfectly foamy head. Delightfully creamy mouthfeel.3. Simple InstructionsIt is a several step process before you enjoy the nitro-infused goodness, but the instructions are easy to follow.4. Overall... it's greatMy personal take is, we enjoy our food more when we have a relationship to it. Being a coffee dork, I like getting into the process of creating unique flavors, textures, and artisanal/foodie experiences. This GrowlerWerks product scratches my itch for both the art and science of making really freaking good cold brew.

Works good. Be careful when adding nitro to infuse, especially if you just washed everything. You'll get ice that jams it up once it infuses, and you'll get low pressure. If that happens, shut the flow off the cap, slowly depressurize the cap, then pull it off and rinse it under 120° water. When it warms up, put it back in and do the infuse again, then it'll be okay.Best bet, dry it well and move the dial to infuse slowly so you don't risk ice.Also, I had to tighten the upper neck when I first got it. It was loose enough that the tap would move if you bumped it.UPDATE: I find the best solution is to leave it in the fridge on infuse for at least an hour, then pull it out, set it on the countertop, set the dial to pour, and you'll be good. Previously I kept it in the fridge until empty, and the pressure would drop too low to get nitro after the first pour or two. Leaving it on the countertop makes a huge difference. it definitely gives more nitro that way..Also, their customer service has been excellent and responsive to any issues that I have had. I had cartridges that kept hissing even with the sleeve tightened up. If that happens to you, make sure the sleeve plug is fully inserted by pressing on the center with your finger. It should be noticeably concave and may start wedging itself out over time. It took a few months for this to happen and may have been my fault while pushing in a paper towel to dry the sleeve after rinsing it.Based on their customer service alone, I'd recommend it, but it does take a while to get a solid routine so you get a consistent nitro pour.
