How to produce a cold brew coffee?
There are many variants of a basic formula: cold water, coarse coffee grounds, and an overnight brew. Depending on the recipe used, the steeping process takes from 624 hours. iSi recommends using about 5 tablespoons coffee grounds (set grinder to most coarse setting) with a 1:8 water to coffee ratio and a steeping time of about 15 to 18 hours.
Why is my Nitro-Coffee not cascading?
The cascading effect is closely related to the coffee used to produce the cold brew coffee. We recommend a coffee stronger roast (Arabica beans) with a high amount of protein.
Can I make whipped cream with the iSi Nitro?
No, this is not possible. The iSi Nitro is not compatible with any cream chargers available on the market. To prepare fresh whipped cream, please use any original iSi whipper that works with iSi cream chargers.
Do the Nitro-chargers contain liquid nitrogen used for instant-freezing?
No, iSi Nitrochargers contain pure compressed nitrogen gas.
What is the difference between Cold Brew and Nitro Coffee?
Nitro Coffee is nitrogen infused Cold Brew Coffee, similar in appearance to an Irish stout beer, creamy in taste, smooth in mouthfeel and full of coffee aroma without the often bitter taste of hot brewed coffee.
Why is Nitro Cold Brew a natural energy kick like an energy drink?
Nitro Coffee is based on cold brew coffee that is steeped over multiple hours and therefore more caffeine is released into the coffee compared to hot brewed coffee.
How long can I store my Nitro Cold Brew in the fridge?
Up to 5 days, but cascading effect will slow down slightly after each serving and over time.
How many chargers do I need for the iSi Nitro?
Only 1 charger is required to prepare Nitro Coffee in the iSi Nitro. Use a second iSi Nitro Charger for a more intense taste experience.
What is the difference between Nitro Cold Brew from a tap-installation and the iSi Nitro?

Why can’t I use a Nitro Charger that fits in a charger holder for cream whippers?
There are Nitrogen chargers available on the market that fit in a chargerholder for cream whippers.
WARNING: Do not use those chargers in your cream whipper.
These chargers are NOT produced by iSi and pose a significant risk hazard. Especially related to devices with plastic heads, the 3 times higher pressure in these Nitro chargers can lead to serious injuries. Cream whippers are not designed for these high-pressure ranges and therefore must never be used with Nitro chargers. For this reason, the “Original iSi Nitro” and the matching “Original iSi Nitro Chargers” are also not compatible with available nitro chargers for cream whippers.
Are iSi Nitro Chargers compatible with other iSi whippers?
No, iSi Nitro Chargers are not compatible with other iSi whippers, due to higher pressure levels and bigger dimension of the chargers
