Veneziano Coffee Roasters has provided the first installations of its latest innovation, Nitro Coffee; five Australian cafes will offer this product once trading resumes in the New Year.


Veneziano Coffee Roasters is excited to announce the installation of Nitro Coffee, its newest cold brew offer  of nitrogenated coffee on tap, at the premises of its first client cafes in Australia. Ready to serve up Nitro Coffee from tap when they reopen in January 2015, will be:


- Coffee HQ at Flinders Street Station, CBD Melbourne (VIC)

- Smith Street Alimentari, Collingwood (VIC)

- St Rose Cafe, Essendon (VIC)

- VCR Cafe Brisbane (QLD); 

- Santucci’s Cafe, Camberwell (VIC)


Another installation is coming soon to VCR Cafe Melbourne in Bond Street, Abbotsford (VIC).


The multi award-winning specialty coffee roaster, together with Australian Barista Champion Craig Simon, has chosen specific microlot coffees and seasonal blends to work with the Nitro Coffee system, a concept that is inspired by draught beer.


“It [Nitro Coffee] has attracted a great deal of interest among cafe owners right from the outset, since we introduced the concept to the market at a couple of major coffee trade shows during the year. In fact, we were overwhelmed by the level of interest, even from overseas, which makes us very excited to be rolling it out”, explains Veneziano managing director Craig Dickson.


“Nitro Coffee allows cafes to offer customers a visually exciting cold brew coffee with an alternative mouthfeel to espresso based coffees; it’s versatility allows a whole range of serving options, that include with or without milk and additions such as alcohol, or it can be served flat or with the micro bubbles”, he says.


Serving Nitro Coffee requires minimum effort on the part of the barista; it’s quick and doesn’t leave a mess, which is another part of it’s appeal.


Features of cold brew Nitro Coffee system:


- Three-second pour time

- Consistent coffee quality in every glass

- Serve it black or with milk

- Ideal base for flavoured and alcoholic beverages

- Three month shelf life

- 100% recyclable, disposable, lightweight 20 litre kegs integrate easily into the retail environment

- Low maintenance equipment

Veneziano provides the roasted and brewed coffee for the kegs, working with nitro equipment provider and maintenance company, Coffee Keg, to supply the Nitro Coffee apparatus to cafes and Xtracted Espresso Solutions for the install. The hardware consists of fonts with two taps, each allowing for nitro and flat coffee if desired and also European standard recyclable kegs for under bench placement.
