Revolutionizing Your Coffee Routine: Meet the EverNitro

Coffee lovers, rejoice! If you’re a fan of that velvety, smooth taste of nitro coffee but dreading the environmental impact and costs of traditional brewing methods, a game-changer has arrived. The EverNitro from XBrew Lab made its debut at CES this week, and it promises to shake up your coffee experience—literally and figuratively.

What is Nitro Coffee Anyway?

For those unfamiliar with it, nitro coffee isn’t just a fancy buzzword. Picture this: Cold brew coffee is infused with nitrogen gas, creating tiny bubbles that give it a creamy texture and a slightly sweeter flavor. It’s akin to drinking a Guinness, minus the alcohol. Many fans swear it’s less bitter too, making each sip feel smoother. So, why the fuss? Well, the experience is unique—and now, thanks to EverNitro, it can be yours without the hassle and waste of cartridges.

The Promise of EverNitro

Launched by XBrew Lab, the EverNitro positions itself as a more accessible, affordable option for nitro coffee enthusiasts. According to founder and CEO Terry Tan, “We offer the quality of a commercial tap with the footprint of a coffee maker. While others sell you gas, we give you technology to harvest it for free.”

That’s right—this machine generates its nitrogen straight from the air around you, making it both eco-friendly and cost-effective. EverNitro claims to deliver 95% nitrogen purity, meaning you’re getting quality while reducing waste.

A Closer Look at the Features

So, what sets EverNitro apart? After some hands-on testing, I can tell you that this countertop device fits right into any kitchen without taking up too much space. As someone who’s seen my share of cumbersome gadgets, I found EverNitro refreshingly compact. It easily slots into your daily routine.

The machine isn’t just for coffee, either. Whether you’re whipping up cocktails for a weekend gathering or just want a fizzy soda, EverNitro can handle it. You can select the pressure level from 0 to 8 BAR (a metric unit of pressure), allowing for endless customization.

Once you load your drink, the entire process takes mere minutes. There’s even a companion app to keep you updated on brewing options—a nice touch that keeps it modern and user-friendly.

The Price Tag: Is It Worth It?

EverNitro launched on Kickstarter, raising over $570,000—a strong indicator of consumer interest despite its price. The Lite version starts at $470 for the base machine and canister, while backers can snag it for around $290. If you’re looking for extra features, the Pro version runs $583 or $337 for backers, including two canisters and a so-called “coffee bean preservation jar.”

For context, a similar countertop nitro unit like NitroBrew might cost you about $1,000. So, while EverNitro is still an investment, it’s undeniably more affordable than its competitors.

What’s Next for XBrew Lab?

As the coffee landscape expands, it seems like Tan and his team have their sights set on more than just improving nitro coffee. “We’re exploring how gases can fundamentally elevate the texture of all beverages, not just coffee,” he explained. Just imagine a machine that not only dispenses but also intelligently mixes cocktails or brews coffee, adjusting the gas profile for an ideal mouthfeel. Intrigued yet?

Real-World Connections: Why This Matters

You might be wondering, “What does this all mean for the everyday person?” The truth is, time is increasingly precious. Many of us are looking for ways to enjoy quality beverages at home without spending an arm and a leg. The EverNitro aims to deliver this, allowing you to skip the café while still getting that artisanal quality right in your kitchen.

Imagine hosting a brunch where each guest can customize their nitro coffee or cocktail on the spot. Not only does it enhance the experience, but it also saves you the considerable cost of buying drinks at your local café. Plus, with the eco-friendly aspect, you can enjoy your drink knowing you’re contributing less to environmental waste.

What Are People Saying?

Since its Kickstarter launch, feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Early adopters appreciate the ease of use and the quality of the nitro-infused drinks. “I didn’t know I could make something this good at home!” one backer exclaimed, reflecting the machine’s ability to exceed expectations.

Another user noted how it transformed their evenings: “I’ve started mixing cocktails using EverNitro, and my friends are blown away. It feels like we’re in a bar without leaving the house.”

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, the EverNitro is more than just a machine; it’s poised to transform how we think about coffee—and beverages in general. The blend of technology and accessibility makes it a worthy investment for anyone who wants to elevate their drink experience at home.

As we navigate a world increasingly focused on sustainability and convenience, products like EverNitro serve as reminders that innovation and taste can go hand in hand. So, will it find a spot on your countertop? If you’re looking for a delicious, hassle-free way to enjoy nitro beverages at home, it might just be worth your consideration.
