ICO 10-Pack Nitrogen Cartridges (N2) for Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Maker & Beer Infusion - 2g Pure Food-Grade Nitrogen Chargers, Non-Threaded - Eco-Friendly Recyclable Steel - NOT for Whipped Cream

No problems with these other than I needed N2O cartridges for whipped cream and Nitrogen does not work for that. Just a heads up if you are wanting this for Whipped cream. Not the right product for that. I blame Amazon for this. I searched for N2O for Whipped cream an these were in the mix so I bought by mistake. I used 4 before I figured out I had the wrong type.

Perfect

Absolute trash - I thought my dispenser was broken or the cream I was using was too light. NO it is these cartridges that are defective. AND to add insult to injury I cannot return them or get refund. Again TRASH do NOT order from ICO.

ICO 10pcs Nitrogen Cartridges: $14.60 for a 10 pack at the time of review My lovely wife got me a cold brew keg for Christmas last year after we practically put the coffee stand kids through college buying nitro cold brews at over $5 bucks a pop. It took me longer than I care to admit to get it set up, but once I did I found I just needed to add the N2. Enter these nitro cartridges from ICO. *What I liked*: Small, no-nonsense package is a small cardboard box with room enough for the ten carts. Creamy smooth cold brew with that signature nitro roil on top after the pour (think Guinness or those Starbuck cold brew commercials). But while we’re at it, why not just use N2O (Nitrous Oxide) for the cold brew. Simple my friend, it’s all about the bubbles. N2O, while cheaper, produces bigger bubbles that expire sooner, leaving you with, well, just cold brew. N2O also has a sweet taste to it so if you like your coffee straight, it’s a no-go. At $1.46 per cartridge, they are one of the least expensive options for pure N2 (get out of here with that N2O stuff). *What I didn't like*: Because the cartridges only hold 2g of N2, you have to use 2 carts to fill the Royal Brew keg. This isn’t ICOs fault. All N2 carts pretty much only hold 2g. It’s still a bummer to have to use $3 bucks worth of N2 per cold brew batch. *The Bottom Line:* This is the best source of N2 that I’ve been able to find on Amazon without having to buy crazy amounts (there is a 360 count pack of N2 on there for $350 bucks, but that’s just nuts). Five stars out of five for giving my coffee that smooth Nitro kick without having to spend over $5 bucks per drink (my recipe, by the way, is dialed in to about 86¢/cup). I order these every time I run out, so I’d certainly buy them again.

DO NOT BUY for whipped cream!!!!!!!!!!!! These cartridges are ONLY nitrogen NOT nitrous oxide (NO2). These can only be used to infuse nitrogen in liquids like cold brew coffee. I mistakenly purchase these for a whipped cream dispenser (BEFORE the seller updated the item name to indicate they were not for whipped cream) If you’re trying make whipped cream look for NO2 cartridges, NOT nitrogen cartridges.

Love these guys for making great homemade whip cream

Does not fit ukeg.

i’ve been doing DIY nitro cold brew coffee for a few years and this is the first time i’ve attempted pure nitrogen, n2, and ill never go back now! i’ve always used n2o until now bc there wasn’t a cheaper option. stores use pure n2 for a reason, as i will explain. but n2o certainly has worked for these years bc it’s pretty similar on the cheap (but if u look hard u can find n2 about the same price, i’m discovering); until i finally tried n2. there’s a way to manipulate whipped cream dispensers to dispense n2o similar to n2 if u fill bottle to the tip top then dispense & since there’s no room for gas it mixes only as u dispense (at the nozzle) thus finer bubbles, BUT this only works for the first few ounces then oxygen interferes when it begins to mix inside the container causing courser bubbles then a noticeably diminished taste bc there’s less creaminess not to mention altering the taste since n2 is inert unlike n2o. n2o also separates from the liquid faster after u dispense as u observe it in the glass, thus u lose the creamy mouthfeel much quicker vs n2, and it never gets as velvety. BUT n2 keeps an integrated gas/coffee mix til the last dispense and it stays cascading for a long time, about twice as long as n2o. n2 stays in solution better bc pure nitrogen is less soluble and the finer bubbles easily circulate which results in a much creamier, heavier mouthfeel and for a longer time, thus a huge flavor difference. this is how retailers do it, and also why it’s more expensive. so to keep it cheap, u can use one of these 2g n2’s on a 64oz (2L) whipper vs the standard 32oz/16oz. u prob should use 2 chargers for ridiculous velvet but to keep it price effective u can use 1 per 64oz and it’s still amazing. that works out to 50cents per 8oz cup if u include coffee beans (10$/lb or 2.5$per 4oz beans per 128oz water - my dilution ratio 32:1) & charger (1.5$ per 64oz). n2o loses its froth & creaminess so quickly & n2o for sure is not as silky as n2. so to get the most of every last drop out of your dispenser, thus making it worth even having nitro, u need n2 instead of n2o.

I use this for making foam.

Zero to complain about. Not the best price, tho. Was able to find something at half the price locally.

Great for making nitro cold brew coffee

I use these all the time for my Nitro coffee. they work great and have just enough pressure. Wouldn't recommend for whipped cream

Doesn’t work. Low pressure and I have a question whether it is n2o. The cream remained liquid even after 2-3 cartridges.
