The NitroPress DS is revolutionizing nitro drinks at home – no consumable gas cartridges required.

Story

ELEVATE YOUR DRINKS WITH THE ULTIMATE NITRO DRINK MACHINE, PERFECTLY CRAFTED FOR HOME USE!

The NitroPress DS is a first-of-its-kind appliance for preparing premium Nitro drinks at home. It’s the easiest and most satisfying way to create velvety smooth coffee, cocktails, fruit drinks and more – the options are limitless. And it does it all, without the use of SodaStream or sparklet style cartridges. What more could one possibly ask for?

CREATE YOUR FAVOURITE COFFEE CHAIN DRINKS IN JUST 6 SECONDS FLAT – NO CARTRIDGES/CHARGERS NEEDED

Nitro Cold Brew retails at around $5/cup in coffee chains, and up to $7 for the premium draft lattes from the likes of Starbucks and La Colombe. Now you can create those exact drinks over and over again at home, without breaking the bank. At $5 a cup in Starbucks, The NitroPress will pay itself off in just 70 home made coffees, representing massive value, as well as speed and ease of use.

INTRODUCING YOU TO A WORLD OF NITRO FLAVORS

If you’re wondering what this “nitro” buzz is all about. Nitro refers to the infusion of nitrogen gas into beverages, resulting in a unique and delightful drinking experience.

The cool, laid-back cousin of carbonated drinks. Nitro drinks are smooth, creamy, naturally sweet. No sharp acidity or fizziness, just velvety joy for your taste buds.

Using Nitro instead of carbonation, you have access to a whole range of new, exciting and innovative drinks, explore and experiment with anything! Nitro is found in most speciality coffee shops, but on top of coffee it can be used for fruit drinks for your kids, cocktails for your friends, and just about anything you can imagine in-between.

Take you favourite cold brew, infuse with nitrogen, and experience the ultimate nitro cold brew, right from your own kitchen.

Amplify your fruit drinks with NitroPress DS. Once you try nitro fruit, you won’t want it plain again!

First there was the shaker, now there is nitro. Take your cocktails to the next level and impress your guests with the ultimate show piece.

WHY IS NITRO SO IMPORTANT? DRINK INNOVATION

Over 100 years ago, legacy brands such as Coca-Cola & Schweppes adopted the use of carbonation to create sparkling Cola & Lemonade. The soft drinks market is now valued at around $500 Billion globally, but there has been very little innovation in the past 100 years. Carbonation requires C02 to be bottled at source and shipped around the world, either in cans and bottles, or SodaStream style gas cartridges. With the help of NitroPress the use of Nitro offers the opportunity for a far more sustainable drink platform, with lower carbon footprint and better convenience to consumers.

AS EASY AS 1,2,3

Getting deliciously smooth nitro drinks couldn’t be easier. Start by adding your chosen drink into the NitroPress dispenser, dock the dispenser into the Docking Station, and press the ‘charge’ button until you get your desired effect (5-8 seconds) Finally, pour and enjoy!

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE LOVE OUR ORIGINAL NITROPRESS

The precursor to this project, our Original NitroPress dispenser,  has won the hearts of thousands of home-barista worldwide.  Rated 4.8 from hundreds of nitro lovers on our website and Amazon.

HOW DID WE DO IT?

You know the expression, “Rome wasn’t built in a dayâ€. This project hasn’t come to fruition overnight – To get to a product that is simple, reliable and just works exactly as you would expect it, has taking thousands of hours of design and development work.

The smallest of details need to be precisely calibrated to guarantee perfect results, not only for the drink but from a user ergonomic view. For the machine to work well with the existing NitroPress dispenser the engineered geometry, materials in the dock coupling, and internal components need to be just right.

Every tiny change affects and changes the outcome, so we needed to test every possible combination of variables. Still, we persevered, putting in thousands of hours designing, modelling, testing, tweaking, prototyping, and experimenting. We did it for over three years until everything was flawless. Now all you need to do is press a button.

IS IT MAGIC?

It’s not real magic, but how it works is pretty magical.

The NitroPress DS works by utilising the nitrogen content already in the atmosphere around you so it doesn’t need to be bottled up in a factory half way around the world.

THE HARDWARE

WHY NOT GIFT A NITROPRESS DS?

When you back our project at any pledge level, you can add a second or third NitroPress DS at the same price as the super early bird. You know exactly who this would be the perfect gift for, right?

CANCELLATION POLICY

We can’t express enough gratitude for your support of our project. And we promise we will do our best to make it awesome. We know that sometimes people change their minds, so let’s be transparent about how this works.

Per Kickstarter’s rules, you won’t be charged until the campaign ends, so you won’t be charged if you withdraw your pledge before the end. This means that if you are going to change your mind, then do so before the campaign ends.

Once the campaign ends and Kickstarter charges you, your pledge is final and can no longer be canceled. The funds we collect go towards ramping up production.

Undoubtedly the occasional backer will insist on a cancellation post-campaign. Please understand that the funds received from your pledge have already been eroded by commissions and fees paid to Kickstarter, credit card fees, agency fees, marketing teams, ads, partners, etc. We will have less than 50% of the pledge you made by the time everyone involved has been paid (not including manufacturing costs). While pledges are final post-campaign, should we make an exception and refund a pledge, please understand that we can only refund 50% of the value pledged.
