Nitro Coffee

It’s not only high-end coffee shops embracing the nitro coffee trend. Nitro coffee offers customers a totally different coffee drinking experience, from the visuals to the mouthfeel. Not to mention the fact that they can ditch the dairy without giving up a creamy texture. So while more coffee shop owners are bringing nitro brew on-board, there are also plenty of restaurants, pubs, and even convenience store owners looking for ways to keep nitro coffee on tap. 

If you want to get in on the hottest trend in beverages, then you need to decide which nitro cold brew coffee maker is right for your business.

There are plenty of options out there. You’ll need to choose between kegerators and kettles, inline systems, and tabletop machines. But the choice doesn’t have to be a difficult one. 

Here are some helpful tips for finding the right nitro cold brew coffee maker for your business. We’ll also give you insight on some things you’ll want to watch out for to avoid nitro-related regret.

To Kegerator or Not To Kegerator

One of the solutions offered to business owners searching for commercial nitro cold brew coffee maker is a kegerator system. Kegs can be an attractive option initially. They are inexpensive, hold a lot of cold brew, and are easy to install on-site. But they aren’t without drawbacks. The disadvantages of a kegerator should be carefully considered before investing your money.

The Problem Of Consumables

One of the biggest issues with a keg system is consumables. When you go the keg route, you’ll need to buy nitrogen tanks. Tanks aren’t cheap. Depending on how often you are serving nitro coffee (and hopefully that’s pretty often), you’ll need to buy replacement tanks on a regular basis. This is an issue for a couple of reasons. First, you’ll need to make sure that you have extra nitrogen tanks when you need them. The last thing you want is to run out of nitro coffee when demand is high. Second, it’s wasteful. Consumables increase your business’ carbon footprint, even if it’s something as simple as driving to refill your nitrogen tanks.

Upfront Costs vs Long Term Savings

The cost of nitrogen tanks adds up over time, too. nitro coffee is a beverage trend that isn’t going away anytime soon. If anything, the demand for this beverage is only getting stronger. That means you’ll be using your new commercial nitro cold brew coffee maker for years to come. So how much money will you be spending on tanks during that time? There is a good chance you’ll end up spending more money on a keg system than you would another commercial nitro cold brew coffee maker. It’s worth doing the math to see when and if you’ll come out ahead on costs. 

Easy-to-Use Translates to Increased Sales

Business owners know the easier something is to use, the more willing your team will be to use it. If nitro coffee is difficult to make or they dread replacing the tank when it runs out, then your team is going to be less likely to promote nitro coffee to your customers. If it’s an easy way to increase the day’s sales, then it becomes an easy upsell to everyone who walks through the door. Finding the easiest system to use will help you get the most out of your investment.
