Tired of waiting 12-24 hours for traditional cold brew? What if you could make barista-quality cold brew coffee in just 5 minutes--with nothing but a cream whipper and a cream charger?
In this post, we’ll show you how to use a cream charger to rapidly infuse and extract cold brew coffee using pressure. This method is perfect for busy coffee lovers who want quick results without sacrificing flavor.
What is Pressure-Infused Cold Brew?
Instead of steeping coffee for hours, this technique uses nitrous oxide and a cream whipper to rapidly extract coffee oils and flavors in just minutes. It’s clean, efficient, and surprisingly tasty.
What You’ll Need
| Ingredients | Tools |
| 25g of coarsely ground coffee | Cream whipper (0.5L or 1L capacity) |
| 200ml cold filtered water | 1 N2O cream charger |
| Glass with ice | Fine mesh strainer or paper filter |
| Optional: milk, sugar, or flavor syrups |
How to Make Cold Brew Coffee with a Cream Charger?
Add the ground coffee and cold water to your cream whipper, secure the lid, then load a cream charger to release the N2O. You’ll hear a brief hiss as the gas enters the chamber. Give the whipper a gentle 30-second shake to help the nitrous oxide fully soak into the coffee grounds.
(The 8g cream cartridge can be used directly, while the large nitrous oxide tank needs to be equipped with a pressure regulator.)
Let the mixture rest in the whipper for 1 to 3 minutes, giving it another light shake if you want a stronger extraction. When you’re ready, slowly release the pressure by pressing the lever, covering the nozzle with a towel to avoid any splatter.
Finally open the whipper and pour the liquid through a coffee filter or mesh strainer into a glass filled with ice.
Enjoy it straight, or add milk and sweeteners as desired.

Pro Tips
