Hatfields London NitroPress DS Electric Nitro Cold Brew Coffee & Cocktail Maker Machine - Air-Powered Nitrogen Infuser for Coffee, Matcha, Cocktails, Drinks - Stainless Steel Home Bar Beverage System

Product Overview

Using the NitroPress DS is refreshingly simple: fill the 500 ml stainless steel canister with very cold coffee or another beverage, press the button, and pour. The result is a thick, creamy foam with a characteristic cascading effect that mimics what you'd expect from a professional nitro tap. Reviews highlight the smooth, velvety texture that often eliminates the need for milk or sugar. The air-powered pump means there are no gas cartridges to buy or dispose of, making it a more sustainable and cost-effective option over time. The stainless steel bottle is the core component, with a sleek slate-gray finish that looks modern on any counter. Its dimensions (10 inches deep, 6.3 inches wide, 14.7 inches tall) allow it to fit in most kitchens, and it is even small enough to store in a refrigerator if you want to keep the beverage cold. The listed weight of 1.44 ounces seems improbable for a stainless steel container, and user experiences confirm a solid, premium feel, suggesting the spec may be incorrect. Included in the box is the stainless steel bottle; the electric base and other parts are part of the system. Cleaning is straightforward: most parts can be rinsed or placed in the dishwasher, though one critic noted that the multiple components require disassembly, making the process slightly annoying. The NitroPress DS is not limited to coffee—it works with tea, matcha, cocktails, and even fruit infusions. Some users have successfully made whipped cream and soda water by using compatible chargers. It is important to note that the system is designed for cold beverages; hot liquids do not infuse well and are not recommended.

Build & Materials

The NitroPress DS centers on a stainless steel canister that feels robust and well-machined. The exterior has a matte slate-gray finish, giving it a modern, understated look. The base and lid parts combine durable plastics and metals, with the pump mechanism housed in the base. One reviewer encountered a threading issue where the piston valve would not connect, but the replacement unit worked flawlessly, suggesting that quality control can be inconsistent. However, when functioning correctly, the build quality is widely praised as premium, with tight tolerances and clean lines that reflect its engineering roots—the designer previously worked at a luxury car brand.

The magnetic connections and seals ensure a secure fit, and the compact footprint allows it to sit comfortably on a counter or inside a refrigerator. The canister has multiple components (lid, piston, nozzle), which some users find fussy to reassemble after cleaning. Despite this minor inconvenience, the overall construction feels durable and built to last.

Shot Quality

In terms of nitro infusion quality, the NitroPress DS consistently impresses. Multiple reviews describe the cascading effect and creamy mouthfeel as precisely what you would get from a café. Users note that the texture is so smooth and velvety that it often removes the need for milk or sugar. One reviewer stated it 'completely transforms even a basic store-bought batch' into something specialty-grade. The infusion happens within seconds of pressing the button, and the foam is dense at first, though one critic observed that it does not last very long before dissipating. The air pump maintains steady pressure, so each pour is consistent, and the machine operates relatively quietly.

The system performs well with a variety of cold beverages, from coffee to cocktails. For optimal results, the liquid must be very cold, as warmer liquids do not infuse as effectively. The NitroPress DS does not heat or chill; it only infuses, so you must prepare your cold brew or other base drink separately. Overall, the performance delivers on the promise of easy, café-quality nitro drinks at home, with the added benefit of no cartridge refills.
