For a stable crema
Cold. Pressure.
Movement.
These three conditions determine how well the nitrogen absorbs and how creamy the finished cocktail becomes.
Use pressure
High pressure pushes nitrogen into the cocktail.
Shake the keg
Shaking increases contact between liquid and gas.
Quick troubleshooting
Better foam.
Better pours.
Start with temperature, pressure and shaking. They solve most Espresso Martini problems.
The foam disappears too quickly
Coffee oils and strength affect foam stability. Try our cold brew concentrate or follow the cold brew guide.
The nitrogen is not absorbing
Make sure the mixture is close to 0°C, charge to 40psi and shake firmly for 30 seconds.
The cocktail pours too fast
Reduce the serving pressure to around 20psi and press the tap button gradually.
Can I use a larger nitrogen bottle?
Yes. Connect it using the iKegger Remote Gas Line and suitable adapter.
