The best nitro cold brew coffee maker for you depends on how much coffee you serve, whether you want to buy gas cartridges and how much fridge space you have. This guide covers six nitro makers: three countertop or fridge kegs with faucets, two 500 ml Hatfields London machines and a 1-pint infuser kit. Five run on gas cartridges, and one uses built-in air-powered infusion with no cartridges.
Every detail here comes from each product’s Amazon listing, and we did not test these nitro coffee makers in person. Scores follow the four criteria in the How We Score section, and our Editorial Policy explains how we handle listing data.

How to Choose the Best Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Maker for Home
Check the gas and what comes in the box
Most nitro makers run on gas cartridges bought separately. Check the gas type and cartridge size each listing names.
Nitrogen or nitrous oxide
The Royal Brew listing describes nitrogen as giving a classic cascading texture and nitrous oxide as giving a creamier, sweeter foam. Most kegs and infusers here list nitrogen only.
Match batch size to your drinkers
A 500 ml or 1-pint infuser serves about two to three coffees, a 64 oz keg holds about 4 pints and a 135 oz keg suits groups.
Measure your fridge shelf
Kegs live in the fridge, so compare the listed height with your shelf clearance. The kegs here range from about 11 to almost 16 inches tall.
Look at cleaning and pressure parts
A pressure relief valve, removable parts and included brushes help, and only some listings mention dishwasher-safe parts or a warranty.
