With this method, you can use pretty much any espresso machine to make a drink similar to a Nitro Cold Brew. It’s called an Aerocano (Americano with Air).
@@cravingtuna1561as a fellow Freddo Espresso enjoyer, these drinks are not the same. His drink is 'freddo espresso' plus water plus air! I work in a few hours at a coffee shop, gonna test it too and see
i second this! i have 2 espresso machines, and tbh i dont usually use the steam wand (i just dont really want to go thru the trouble of making frothed milk when regular milk is fine for me) unless im making coffee for someone who comes over. so im glad i now found a recipe i like, that i can use my steam wand with.
So it's almost 12 pm and I gotta get up at 05:30 tomorrow to start a new job, I just made this (without knowing the ratios) and got a very good result. You need more ice and water than you think which was my mistake; for 18g of beans or 36g of espresso if probably use around 130g of ice and a 100 or more grams of water which seems like a lot. Just like a nitro cold brew it's very strong, and you need that much ice to keep it cold; if you drink it quickly I may even add more to my glass that I'd poor the drink into I think I'm going to try substituting the water in my jug with milk and pulling the espresso shot directly into my jug so I don't lose crema by it sticking to my glass
I was made happy by the clarification of the name and drink at the end haha. Beginning by calling it a "cold brew" then immediately brewing it hot, I was like uhhhh... my friend.. but I love these! Simple way to throw in some bonus texture. If you have a nanofoamer you should try it with that for even thicker texture.
As you said at the end of the video, it’s an aerocano, it wouldn’t be a nitro cold brew because it’s not brewed with cold water. This gave me an idea: What if I do this but using cold brew instead of an americano? Would the result be acceptable? I will try it tomorrow and tell you!
The primary feature in the flavor of cold brew is the absence of acidity. Heating the espresso shot is putting that acidic flavor in this drink. There's a huge flavor difference between a 16 hour cold soaked cold brew and a hot pulled shot.
So is a cold brew like the one in the video not sour at all? The biggest problem I’m having with my espresso shots is that they come out sour all the time
@@qwertymehta8342 Cold brew is a completely different flavor profile. Less sour, certainly, but if your espresso shots are always coming out sour then you probably aren't dialed in right anyway.
i have a $60 espresso machine so anything i make is very much hit or miss lol. I made this drink and it was honestly so delicious!! i added some frothed cream on top and i totally recommend
In Greece we call this freddo espresso but its diferent.We take the shot(one or double) and we pour it in a cup with 2 ice.We then stir it with a coffee mixer until it gets some foam and the color turnes from black to light brwon.After that we pour it in a cup with ice and we enjoy it!
This is super clever. It reminds me of heston making chocolate ganache with just chocolate and water. This looks like its the same principle. Constant mixing.
The amount of times I have looked forward to a nice latte only to discover my 6 kids polished off 2 gallons of milk before breakfast.. this is how I will pivot on those days. This looks really good.
your whole account got me thinking: are there any tea nerds out there? Tea nerds that are willing to find the most fresh perfect tea leaves and equipment to make the perfect cup of tea/chai?
I guess tea just less appealing without all these cool machines and equipments. You just buy the tea, put in a tea pot and pour hot water, then you’re done. Unless you’re talking about special teas like matcha that require the special tools and techniques, chai is like combining herbs and spices, and Chinese tea that use tiny tea cups and pot set. Those are more like a cultural/tradition theme videos.
@@tomoharu8605 No, there is some tea people out there Once saw a guy who was into Chinese tea traditions, used tea cakes, had a whole serving table I think, and my favorite detail was a “tea pet”, basically an animal sculpture that you pour the first steep onto I think And that’s coming from a coffee nerd, it’s honestly the best when someone has fun with their drink
@@GoingSwimmingly Tea is a big deal, especially in Asia, but it kinda has this older folks vibe, you know? Coffee, on the other hand, is the new kid on the block in terms of history. And imo, the espresso machines, grinders, drippers, and all these coffee brewing accessories just make coffee look cooler compared to the tea sets and drip tables.
Dude if you like this then you should really try a Freddo Espresso. Its very popular in Greece and it has the same theory behind it (adding air by mixing it with a powerful mixer) like the one you made!
You can also do this by just putting 4-5 ice cubes depending on th soze and simply stiring or foaming it with a handheld shaker. Its called the Freddo espresso.
i make that with instant coffee by whipping the coffee with just about a tablespoon of hot water some to brew it , some sugar and incorporate air into it until it looks like mayo , then i add some ice and slowly add room temp water while swirling the glass till i get essentially the same foamy cold brew as in the video.
I make this every day at work and in my opinion its much better without the water, using extra ice and the natural dilution of the espresso to give enough liquid to aerate. steam and add air before the ice melts in the pitcher and then pour over ice in a glass. I used to drink hot black coffee everyday, now it's these haha.
This was easy enough to give a go - turned out great and really highlights the light and fruity notes of the beans I just got. This is a surprising 5/5 stars for me (I really expected this to just be a silly trend for the views).
Cold brew is less acidic and reveals more of the natural taste of the coffee l. I make a lot every week of varying strengths. What you made looks great but I don’t think it tastes better. The heat breaks down the bean completely different.
This is a fredo espresso and it’s very common in Greece. It’s usually made with a milk frother! You can also add milk and make an iced latte or frothed milk to make a fredo cappuccino. When its always warm you need to have all sorts of cold drinks 😂
I wish my espresso machine worked well with a bottomless portafilter and a shower screen like yours. Mine likes to channel the pressurised water down the inside edge of the portafilter and spray it sideways out the bottom.
Air is 78% (by volume) Nitrogen. So, *technically* , this is 78% Nitro Cold Brew.
It’s not cold brew coffee. It’s an americano (water & espresso) so maybe you could say it’s 78% nitro americano?
It's actually an iced steamed long black (espresso on top) @@Ponyo294
Technically the espresso machine is pushing steam not air. So it doesn’t have any nitrogen.
Steam is water and air. Air in this case is 78% nitrogen.
Yes but all of steam wont make up for 78% nitrogen. Yes air is 78% nitrogen. But steam isnt.@@flume04
If that works and tastes good, you'll get a subscription
Let me know once you have tried it.
I'd like to know too
Update all of us mate 👍
It does work because it already exists. The dude basically made Freddo Espresso which is literally the most popular coffee in Greece
@@cravingtuna1561as a fellow Freddo Espresso enjoyer, these drinks are not the same. His drink is 'freddo espresso' plus water plus air!

I literally put the phone down and made this immediately. It's damn tasty!

But it’s watered down. It’s literally drinking coffee flavored water
@@parvkalewhat do you think americano is?
@@parvkaleCoffee is coffee flavored water.
Oh sorry. My bad. I had bag experience with drinks that got ruined by being watered down.

Legend, this is how I'll try it
Was the milk substitute good?
yeah, how did the milk turn out?
What is crema? I want to know it
The milk alternative didn't turn out too good, honestly either just isn't worth it or it needs some experimenting

also a stretch to call steam and air "nitro"
Makes me want to pour myself a good pint of Guinness
Beer coffee. Boffee.
Drinking one right now thinking the same thing
Yeah this stuff should definitely be called a stouticano or something like that.

I love this channel so much and i dont even drink coffee, it is just so calming watching the coffee drip out of the machine
Amazingly good. Drinking it for the first time now
I just got to say that this channel helped me out a lot when times are tuff
I hope I can have your type of life problems where a video of coffee helps me lol
This worked so perfectly. Just tried it this morning. The best!
Been drinking these for 3 years now. Best summer drink I’ve ever tasted
Tried this and it’s amazing!
It's soooo good I've made this a few times!
Bro.... This is revolutionary 😮😳🤯
that looks stupidly delicious! looking forward to drinking this next summer ^^
Looks like the greek Freddo Espresso but differently prepared
Yeah but worse

Interesting!!
I would assume the result would be the same but you’d get more of the classic cold brew flavor profile
@@tannercolsoncoffee I can already imagine the taste, I’ll tell you tomorrow!
I'll need an update on this
Commenting just to get the update 😂
I always get an Americano when they have a fancy machine. It reminds me of the coffee I make at home, and it has some amazing history!
Dude that looks great. I’ve never done that but I have put my own “cold foam” on espresso and it’s bomb 💣
Yummy!! That's so cool!! I never even thought of that
Really original! Love it.
Well, finally some invention worthy of a try, I can't believe I have lived long enough to see a useful coffee trick on social media
I don't even like coffee I just like watching these videos
I learned something new...men, nitro cold brew is a bit expensive everytime I buy...now, I can make it at home...thank you❤
Nice. gonna make this tomorrow!!

Definitely gonna make this at work later, thanks!
Wow never thought of this! Defiitely gonna try this once I'm at home
Did it without the water, just added more ice and used a smaller pitcher and WOW！ so delicious!
Had one of these from the people at No kidding coffee from NH and BOY was it delicious!!!

Ακριβώς, καμμία ξένη αηδία δεν κερδίζει την παραδοσιακή, ορθόδοξη φραπεδιά
Προτείνω απλά να δοκιμάσει freddo espresso φίλε , όχι φραπέ
Θα έπερνα όρκο ότι είχες γράψει φραπέ@@nicolasmouzas9570
Absolutely ☕️
Ooooo I might need to make this!!!
This is for sure better than a nitro cold brew drink 100 percent hands down 😍
This is super clever. It reminds me of heston making chocolate ganache with just chocolate and water. This looks like its the same principle. Constant mixing.
That is the yummiest thing I’ve ever seen oh my GOD I am trying this tomorrow
Nifty. If I had the room for an espresso machine, I'd try it.
U guys are getting closer and closer to freddo espresso. Looks cool
The amount of times I have looked forward to a nice latte only to discover my 6 kids polished off 2 gallons of milk before breakfast.. this is how I will pivot on those days. This looks really good.
I come back for a subscription! Not fully understanding what is cold brewing but following your step makes me a very good coffee drink !
That drink is probably my go to drink

This has been one of my favorite drinks to make for some time now. The “aerocano.”

Definitely going to try this once I finally descale my espresso machine.
Super série, doufám že uděláte všechny knihy
Wow definitely trying this!
You can also do this by just putting 4-5 ice cubes depending on th soze and simply stiring or foaming it with a handheld shaker. Its called the Freddo espresso.
“Make sure the espresso tastes good” wow brilliant advice, never thought of that before…
I really tried itI really tried it, it tastes very, very delicious
This tastes sooo good. Just made it myself (without the water because i like my coffe strong)
I’m glad he reminded me to make sure the espresso tasted good before trying this.
Im trying this tomorrow morning❤
Guys y'all should try this it taste so good and is Really Refreshing

I know absolutely nothing about coffee or espresso nor do I even enjoy the taste yet I still watch all your videos lol
Thanks!
Complete honest I'm fried rn and I just binge watched ur channel most relaxing nap of my life ur awesome 😁🤟
I made this and it's way better than expected. It's like the dreamy version of iced americano.
Just made Freddo Espresso . The most popular coffee in Greece
That actually looks good.

I'm addicted to these videos
I hate coffee but these videos are so satisfying
I'm going to try making this at work soon!
Love this idea. Gonna try it tomorrow.
This was easy enough to give a go - turned out great and really highlights the light and fruity notes of the beans I just got. This is a surprising 5/5 stars for me (I really expected this to just be a silly trend for the views).
that looks so good , damn
I love aerocanos, damn tasty
I don't even drink coffee yet. I still have fun watching these videos
I made this for a customer once so fun to create
I can never drink coffee without sugar and milk. But this looks AMAZING !
Still waiting in sorrow to be able to afford an espresso machine 😂😢
Looks so good!!
I did it , it was pretty good. I ingested too much air. So very frothy, but still good 👍🏼
So good, I had to do less water since it was a bit weak the first time.
Seeing that settle has given me a craving for cold brew coffee Guinness

This is genius af wish my pavoni was set up so I could try it rn
Love the video! Also where did you get your coffee machine??
yall are just reinventing the freddo espresso
I'm gonna try this
This was my fav shift drink when i was a barista, make it with a cuban shot and its amazing
Please link your coffee machine it is beautiful really a piece of art ❤
My go to afternoon coffee drink.
"Nitro Cold Brew" oh what a name, that would be a bang of a drink
i just did it. 7/10. its ok. beautiful texture but nothing close to a nitro cold brew. really fun to reproduce.
Coffee is incredible
Literally the first coffee thing on shorts that was 1) actually kind of novel and 2) doesn’t sound disgusting 👏🏽
I used to do this when I was a kid by putting sugar and instant coffee into a glass and putting by thumb over the kitchen tap to spray the water in.
Please try guatemalan coffee, might be the best coffee you ever tasted. 😊
