In the production of drinks, there are significant differences between N2 (nitrogen) charger and CO2 (carbon dioxide) charger in terms of taste performance and application range. Choosing the right gas can greatly improve the texture and flavor of the drink.
Today, taking mosa's products as an example，we will analyze the differences between these two kind of charger in detail to help you find the most suitable option.
CO2 Charger: Mainly used for carbonation and sparkling drinks
Features:
-
CO2 can be completely dissolved in liquids to form a carbonation effect, which makes the drink produce refreshing bubbles.
-
It is slightly acidic and can affect the taste of the drink, making it slightly sour and refreshing.
-
CO2 does not combine with fat, so it is not suitable for whipping cream.
N2 Charger:Mainly used for nitro coffee and cocktail drinks
Features:
-
Nitrogen has stable chemical properties and is not easily soluble in water. When it release, the bubbles are small and it is suitable for making smooth and dense drinks or creamy foods.
-
After N2 is added to liquid, it has low solubility but can form a stable creamy foam, which is suitable for drinks that require a "creamy" or "silky" feeling.
Key Differences Between N2 charger and CO2 charger
| Food | N2 charger | CO2 charger |
|---|---|---|
| coffee | used for nitro coffee | not suitable for coffee,mainly used for carbonated drinks |
| cream | not the main purpose | not suitable for whipping cream |
| beer | provides a smooth foamy taste, often used in nitrogen beer | makes beer more bubbly, often used in carbonated beer |
| cocktail | Suitable for nitrogen cocktails | Suitable for carbonated cocktails |
| other food | Can be used to store food in nitrogen to prevent oxidation | Can be used to make carbonated fruit |
Summary
If you want to make smooth nitro coffee, nitro beer or cocktails, you can choose mosa N2 Charger.
If you need to make carbonated drinks or enhance the bubbles, mosa CO2 Charger is a better choice.
