The AEROCANO | How to Make Nitro Brew With ONLY an Espresso Machine

[@kmgalanakis]

Hey Kyle! Instead of steaming with water and ice, why don't you try to use a double shot of espresso along with 2-3 ice cubes and whisk it using an electrical drinks mixer. This is a very popular cold beverage in Greece, we call it Freddo Espresso. In this, you can also add whisked cold milk (very low-fat milk + 2-3 ice cubes, whisked until this becomes a steady milk cream), which we call Cappucino Fredo. Search in youtube for those beverages!

[@Schmedemann]

This is the way. Also works great in a regular cocktail shaker if you don’t have an electric one.

[@brianb.7435]

That's I also do. Except I steam milk until not above 90f, then add extra air with small battery operated frother. Pour espresso onto ice cubes, pour milk onto. Beautiful taste, and sight. Use clear glass.

[@strummingnerd]

LOVE THIS!!! I followed your instructions...Looked just like my Guinness Nitro chocolate!! The head on it just lasted. I steamed mine for maybe 20 seconds. My wife was in shock watching me pour it into a tall glass. It's a strong drink and I enjoyed it. Many thanks, this is a keeper.

[@KyleRowsell]

So glad to hear it!!

[@95MYTO]

Cant get enough of it, been drinking mostly this drink for almost 2 weeks now :) For me I found 100g of water and 60g of ice with a 40g espresso works better to get slightly stronger taste, but I need to add ice to the cup because I cant steam this fast enough to not heat up. If you want to avoid ice in the cup I found 120g water and 80g of ice will result in still cold drink, but a bit more diluted

[@KyleRowsell]

Love it! Thanks for sharing!

[@caramelslice1748]

You can try and put your pitcher in the freezer - should help keep the drink cool while giving you time to add air without needing to dilute with more ice.

[@technophobian2962]

It is insane to me how this hasn't really caught on in the espresso community. I made this with some speciality coffee and a little sugar to make it more dessert-like, and it is probably the most delicious coffee drink I have ever had. The texture is perfect, the flavours are all still there and it's refreshing.

[@TheWhitetrashG]

So I've never seem this method but the other day i had this random idea to froth espresso with double cream and honey. My taste buds went bananas and it has been my way of enjoying coffee just before i open coffee shop. I will try incorporate ice or cool down espresso before frothing. 😊

[@jerbrooks]

Did this. Love this. You mentioned you prefer the actual cold brew over the espresso but you could always just make your cold brew and still use the steam wand!

[@mikeoxlong918]

Wow this is exactly the video I needed to see! One of my favorite drinks is a nitro cold brew, and I’ve never wanted to take the plunge to get an at home kit. Just made one on the Gaggia Classic and it was incredible. Thank you so much Kyle, keep putting out great videos!

I just tried it with your recipe. Using the 4 hole steam tip on the Bianca, it took maybe 5 to 8 seconds to get the lighter orange. Delicious.

[@KyleRowsell]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!

[@KenStocker]

@@KyleRowsell I posted a comment and then made another drink!

[@Mikapoofs]

Tried using a French Press to foam with my chilled Moka Pot coffee, turned out pretty nice! Not sure how it compares to real nitro brew but i can say it's foamy and smooth, can give it a try if you don't own an espresso machine.

[@Caffeine.And.Carvings]

So you make it in a mokka pot and cool the coffee down before foaming it? Or did you foam with cold water ? I own a flair and a french press. Might give it a shot

[@Mikapoofs]

@@Caffeine.And.Carvings for me i cool it down in the fridge first, then foam it before pouring it into a little cold water, hope it goes well!

[@iainlindsley9226]

Just recently got a Sage impress and was craving a cold coffee and this smacks love the flavour and texture

[@AlexDeg92]

I used to do this with the same machine the same way, now I also use a mini frother while doing the steam with the ice. I'll also suggest adding some brown sugar to your coffee press. This will make a little background sweet very light but delightful.

[@giovanninasuluh]

That slow-mo B-roll... I loved being able to see the process through the glass pitcher.

[@boedye]

I just gave this a try in my shoppe. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised!

[@TheKSpot]

Oh this is amazing, tried it today, made two, i added a bit of vanilla flavour, sooooo good :)

[@Emytherian]

I tried this hot today and it's actually pretty great, comes out as a creamy long black/americano with an almost latte like foam on top

[@Victor-kh5rh]

I tried this with less water and it was fantastic. IMO 120ml of ice is plenty of dilution, then add a big cube of ice to the serving glass for just a bit extra and you end up with a similar strength as a regular americano at just over 2:1 ratio.

Don't have an espresso machine, but I had to try this. Brewed an "espresso style" on the aeropress and used a nanofoamer. Turned out really well. Used Little Wolf's La Pradera and the peach flavor was pronounced and the acidity made it awesome!

This also works well with a stick blender. Ice, espresso, water. Then blend and whip in air by pulling stick to the top and tilting, allowing air to get into the blades.

This might just be the coolest trick/hack I’ve learned for my Dual Boiler machine in a long time! I can’t remember the last time I went to my machine immediately after watching a video to replicate what I saw (I’ve done this a couple times with latte art videos, but I went “looking” for those videos… but with this, I just watched it because I’m subscribed to your channel and just wanted to see what you had to say.) I’ll def have to mess around more with it tomorrow to get my ratios better (the one I just made was a little too thin/watery for me to drink it often), but it was incredible nonetheless. Kudos on the content! Also, for what it’s worth to you, I’ve always enjoyed the videos I’ve seen on your channel, but if that hoodie means to you what it means to me, then I now appreciate/love you and your channel all the more. Blessings to you!

Tried this for the first time yesterday… I want to try again with a ristretto or dial in to get a sweeter shot bc the bitterness seems an odd pairing with the texture.

[@aaronturman4978]

Hey man just wanted to say I’ve been going through and watching all of you videos and they are great. I did just have one question off the topic of coffee. Is the 1:16 neon sign behind you in reference to the “1:16 clique” or just the verse itself or nothing to do with either? Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@aaronturman4978]

Hey back again. I just started following you on instagram and saw the post where you mention your 1:16 sign. I didn’t even think of the double mean it could have (coffee - Romans). Although just like you said in one of the comments coffee ratio may be debatable but Romans isn’t. Great work👍

Refreshing drink, Kyle. Cheers!

[@MikeTheBlueCow]

I've never been a fan of nitro cold brew, or even cold brew, or even Americano, (yeah I'll often drink my pour over hot in the summer), but I tried it this morning. Definitely needs some tweaking (I kinda just threw in a few ice cubes and added water to cover the ice per the original instructions, and it resulted in about a 12oz volume) and it's good but weak for me. It looks really cool though! And honestly quite refreshing. I could see doing this again or especially for friends. It's cool that it loosely mimics beer too so I could see it being an interesting cocktail/mocktail concept.

[@HoonsCoffee]

Did you come up with Aerocano name?

[@ToddParker]

Finally got around to trying this Kyle and it just didn't work out first try. I stopped steam because the beverage was getting warm and it didn't even go to orange color. Ended up being a flat drink to. Espresso shot was dialed in, foamy after steam. Wonder what i did wrong?

[@Kayo501x]

Dude. I like nitro, but it's so hard to get here, so this piqued the interest and I had to try immediately. Thank god for decaff... Turned out amazing following your ratio, but I might try a few tweaks and some practice runs. I use a commercial machine, so I've got the steam pressure and I was scared I overdid it. It took minutes to settle, so it certainly infused the air. Tasted thick and creamy with a solid head. Even if it's not quite the same as decent draft nitro, the fact that it works this damn well is insane. It's 90% the way there at least and that was my first attempt.

[@Jen-nd4us]

[@markwalter1059]

Definitely trying this this morning. When would be the best time to incorporate dairy into the drink, if someone wanted that?

[@fluffycritter]

Air is mostly nitrogen but don't steam wands only push out H2O vapor?

[@technophobian2962]

The steam wand should be right on the surface of the liquid. If the steam wand is positioned correctly, it will push air into the liquid along with steam. In milk the tiny nitrogen bubbles would be trapped by the fats in the milk, and I guess the oils in espresso are enough to trap a large volume of nitrogen too. Still crazy to me how James Hoffmann and others in the coffee community haven't discovered this yet.

[@hughsandoe7459]

If you added sugar prior to steaming, would it make it frothier like a dalgona?

[@KyleRowsell]

It’s a cold beverage so I’m not sure if this would be as effective. I could be proven wrong.

[@95MYTO]

@@KyleRowsell think steaming might help sugar to dissolve, or maybe instead of sugar some simple syrup?

[@KyleRowsell]

@@95MYTO possibly. But keep in mind this beverage is still cold once steamed. It’s worth trying!

[@Boyetto-san]

You know, it really does blow my mind at how ingenious the concept is. Yeah, air is 78% nitrogen, something we learned in science class years ago, so how did we not realize sooner that infusing air would get something close to a nitro cold brew? My question now, though, is why is it that this seems to only work with a steam wand and not other ways that can whip air into other liquids? I'm guessing that it's because a steam wand will have more pressure and agitation to rapidly infuse the air into the coffee, faster than it can fizz out of solution. I'd be super interesting to see if any other method works to achieve this though.

[@KyleRowsell]

I believe other methods do work! I saw someone with a nanofoamer try this and worked.
