UK start-up Hatfields London has launched the NitroPress coffee dispenser which it claims is a cost effective and more flexible method of serving nitro coffee, whilst also making it easier to customise the coffee.
Serving cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen creates an extra smooth taste and silky mouthfeel similar to a stout beer. Hatfields said that the current method of serving it through draught coffee systems “requires a substantial investment and brings inherent wastage of unused coffee”.
The NitroPress dispenser is said to make it easier to customise coffee with the possibility of adding flavoured syrups.
Hatfields managing director and mechanical engineer Jack Hatfield said: “As part of our vision to make nitro coffee accessible to all, we took the original concept and optimised it – stripping out complexities to keep it simple.
“The goal was to place a NitroPress in front of anyone and for them to intuitively work out how to use it. When combined with an excellent quality cold brew coffee, the NitroPress offers an unrivalled customer experience.”
The handheld dispenser combines with pure nitrogen gas cartridges developed especially for this purpose. The unit is filled with coffee and pressurised. Flow controlled portions are served through the special nozzle, designed to create a unique cascading effect and ultra-smooth foam head.
Hatfields said it aims to inspire the catering industry, “enabling them to bring innovative new beverage options to customers around the globe”.
