7. What Is the Point of
Nitro Coffee?

8. Nitro coffee is different. If you are tired of the usual coffee
house coffees, nitro coffee may be a pleasant change of
pace.

9. But, if you like the aroma and taste of freshly roasted,
freshly ground Arabica coffee you may be disappointed.

freshly brewed coffee is that it is in fact fresher.

11. Regular and organic coffee antioxidants provide much of
flavor as well as the health benefits of drinking coffee.

12. So You Want Coffee or
Caffeinated Soda?

13. Historically coffee drinkers with a sweet tooth added a lot of
sugar. Now there are a lot more variations on the theme.
Coffee house coffees include Americano, Breve, Latter,
Cappuccino and Mocha to all of which you can add sugar.

14. Americano
Americano is a coffee house coffee made from espresso
and diluted with water. This goes back to the World War II
era and after when GI’s who were used to Mom’s home
perked or boiled coffee asked the barista to add water to
their espresso to make it less strong. Think “weak
espresso.”

15. Breve and Latte
Both of these are made with espresso and foam. Latte is
made with steamed milk and breve is made with half and
half. For latte think “coffee with milk” or café au lait and for
breve think “coffee with milk and cream.”

Cappuccino is made with espresso plus hot milk plus lots of
steamed foam.

espresso plus chocolate syrup plus milk.

19. What Do You Gain or
Lose?

20. What you gain with nitro coffee is a cold drink that you can
store and serve on tap. What you lose are probably the
antioxidants that make coffee healthy.

21. Antioxidants

22. Scientifically an antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the
cell damage and cell death in human cells caused by
oxidative breakdown of other molecule in the cell. Oxidation
is a factor in sickness and aging.

23. Antioxidants help prevent the damage caused by excessive
oxidation and to a degree inhibit the aging process. When
an oxidative reaction brought on by disease gets going it
produces free radicals that start chain reactions which in
turn cause cell and tissue damage.

24. The human body has or uses antioxidants to control this
situation. Natural means of controlling oxidation include
vitamins C and E as well as glutathione.

25. It is low levels of antioxidants that can lead to a condition
referred to as oxidative stress and resultant damage to
cells in the body. Organic coffee antioxidants are in the
same class of molecules that help reduce oxidation.
