We are true coffee aficionados in my family. My parents, my sister and I all have a fancy bean to cup coffee machine in our kitchens poised to produce a top-notch quality shot for hot or cold drinks at the press of a button. We even joke that anyone who wants to use our machines has to have undergone Burrista training (our family name is Burr).
Although a bean to cup machine is great for producing a good coffee it’s not so great if you’re in a hurry, wanting a coffee on the run or want to enjoy a caffeine hit away from home so when I was offered the chance to check out Nescafé’s latest product I was glad to learn more.
The Nescafé Azera Nitro is a cutting-edge ready-to-drink nitrogen-infused coffee in a can which launched nationwide in Tesco and Sainsbury’s in June. It will be appearing in ASDA from August.
The Nescafé Azera Nitro combines premium coffee flavour with the next level experience of nitrogen which creates a super smooth, silky yet creamy texture that you experience from velvety steamed milk from a Barista.
I have to admit there is something satisfying when it comes to opening the Nescafé Azera Nitro can as it has a great hiss as the nitrogen escapes which makes it excitable! Make sure you don’t shake the can too vigorously; just gently tip from one side to the other to mix and then open.
It is easy to drink this chilled coffee straight from the can, however, I recommend pouring it out into a glass to see the awesome cascade of nitrogen bubbles flow through the coffee producing a delectable bubbly crema.
This exciting new coffee comes in two versions; Americano or Latte and is best enjoyed chilled which is just perfect for the hot weather we have been having recently. Grab one out of the fridge as you head out of the door, pop some cans into a cooler for a picnic or even experiment with some cool summer coffee cocktails at your garden party; here are a couple of ideas.
Azera Nitro Espresso Martini
