Cold Brew > Pour over - also, a TINY pinch of salt will correct a poorly made bitter-batch of cheap coffee. (I know, it sounds like the stupidest thing in the world, because I also thought the same thing before I did it)

Heat pulls tannins out of the beans which is where the bitter flavor comes from. If you brew the beans cold, for 24hrs ahead of time, you get a lot more of the nutty tones of the bean, and a much less harsh coffee. Bonus if you like cold coffee too, because you just throw ice and a splash of milk in it.

Cold brew nito is god tier and removes dairy from the equation.

Woooooooahhhh, so just use a whipping siphon with nitro?

nope, that's a mistake you don't make twice (ask me how I know) you need Nitrogen not NoS.

and I think the canisters are a bit bigger too, so you need a whole different setup not just the right gas.

I was referring to this -- they apparently sell nitrogen canisters for whipping siphons.

I've used Nitrous before and it didn't work at all ... guess it might be worth a try from the video if you have the siphon already.

The video specifically says pure N2, Nitrogen. This isn't Nitrous (N02). They're just calling it "Nitro" because that's how the coffee shops advertise it. Nitrogen contains the word "Nitro" in it, it sounds cool, so Nitrogen-coffee is labeled as "Nitro-Coffee". Nobody is saying to use Nitrous...I don't understand why you keep going back to that.
