XBrew Lab debuted its nitro beverage machine, EverNitro, at CES this week, offering nitro coffee lovers a more affordable way to enjoy the drink — without the waste and expense of traditional cartridge-based machines.
If you’re not familiar with nitro coffee, it’s cold coffee with nitrogen gas. This process creates tiny bubbles, resulting in a silky smooth, naturally sweeter taste – similar to drinking a Guinness. Many people also note that nitro coffee is less bitter.
EverNitro is positioned against competitors like NitroBrew as a long-term more affordable all-in-one solution. “We offer the quality of a commercial faucet with the footprint of a coffee maker. While others sell you gas, we give you the technology to collect it for free,” said founder and CEO Terry Tan.
The company claims EverNitro provides 95% nitrogen purity and highlights its ability to produce nitrogen directly from ambient air. By eliminating the need for disposable cartridges, the device provides a less expensive, environmentally friendly solution for home use.
After trying it out for ourselves, we were pleasantly surprised. The machine is simple to use and easily attaches to a counter or stores conveniently on a shelf — making it a nice addition to any kitchen or bar setup. The canister holds coffee, cocktails for that bar-quality touch, or other beverages. Users can select their preferred pressure, which ranges from 0 to 8 BAR (metric unit of pressure).
The whole process, from loading the beverage to enjoying the finished drink, takes only a few minutes. There is also a companion app that provides updates.
The device started Kickstarter in October and raised over $570,000 — a testament to strong interest in this product despite its premium price. The Lite option costs $470 and includes just the machine and container, while backers can buy it for $290. The Pro version costs $583 (or $337 for backers) and comes with the machine, two containers, a jar of coffee bean storage and a whipping kit. However, for comparison purposes, a benchtop unit from NitroBrew it costs around $1,000.

Looking ahead, Tan told TechCrunch that the team is “exploring how gases can fundamentally improve the texture of all beverages, not just coffee. Imagine a machine that doesn’t just consume, intelligently mixes a cocktail or brews a coffee and then automatically selects the perfect gas profile to enhance its body and mouthfeel.”
