EverNitro Simplifies At-Home Nitro Coffee With Cartridge-Free Machine at CES 2026

XBrew Lab debuted its countertop nitro beverage machine, EverNitro, at CES this week, offering nitro coffee enthusiasts a more accessible way to enjoy the drink — without the waste and expense of traditional cartridge-based machines.

If you’re unfamiliar with nitro coffee, it’s cold brew coffee infused with nitrogen gas. This process creates tiny bubbles, resulting in a silky-smooth, naturally sweeter taste — similar to drinking a Guinness. Many people also note that nitro coffee is less bitter.

EverNitro is positioning itself against competitors such as NitroBrew as a long-term, more affordable all-in-one solution. “We offer the quality of a commercial tap with the footprint of a coffee maker. While others sell you gas, we give you technology to harvest it for free,” founder and CEO Terry Tan said.

The company claims that EverNitro delivers 95% nitrogen purity and highlights its ability to generate nitrogen directly from ambient air. By eliminating the need for single-use cartridges, the device offers a more cost-effective, environmentally friendly option for home use.

After testing it ourselves, we were pleasantly surprised. The machine is simple to use and fits easily on a counter or stores comfortably on a shelf, making it a nice addition to any kitchen or bar setup. The canister accommodates coffee, cocktails for that 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 beverage to enjoying the finished drink, takes only minutes. There’s also a companion app that delivers updates.

The device launched on Kickstarter in October and raised over $570,000 — a testament to strong interest in this product despite its premium price point. The Lite option costs $470 and includes just the machine and canister, while backers can purchase it for $290. The Pro version is $583 (or $337 for backers) and includes the machine, two canisters, a coffee-bean preservation jar, and whipped cream kits. Yet, for comparison, a countertop unit from NitroBrew costs about $1,000.

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