XBrew Lab launched its countertop nitro beverage machine, EverNitro, at CES this week, offering nitro coffee lovers a more accessible way to enjoy the beverage – without the waste and expense of traditional cartridge-based machines.
If you’re not familiar with nitro coffee, it’s a cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. This process creates tiny bubbles, resulting in a silky, naturally sweeter taste, similar to a Guinness. Many people also note that nitro coffee is less bitter.
EverNitro positions itself against competitors such as NitroBrew as a more affordable, long-term, 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 offer you the technology to harvest it for free,” said founder and CEO Terry Tan.
The company claims that EverNitro provides 95% nitrogen purity and highlights its ability to generate nitrogen directly from ambient air. By eliminating the need for single-use cartridges, the device provides a lower cost and environmentally friendly solution for home use.
After testing it ourselves, we were pleasantly surprised. The machine is simple to use and slides easily onto a counter or stores comfortably on a shelf, making it a nice addition to any kitchen or bar setup. The canister holds coffee, cocktails for a bar-quality touch, or other beverages. Users can select their preferred pressure, which ranges from 0 to 8 BAR (a metric unit of pressure).
The entire process, from loading your drink to enjoying the finished drink, takes just a few minutes. There is also a companion app that provides updates.
The device started on Kickstarter in October and raised more than $570,000, reflecting the strong interest in this product despite its high price. The Lite option costs $470 and includes just the machine and cartridge, while backers can purchase it for $290. The Pro version costs $583 (or $337 for backers) and comes with the machine, two canisters, a coffee bean storage jar, and whipped cream kits. Yet for comparison, a countertop unit of NitroBrew costs about $1,000.

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