“Amped up” nitrogen-infused canned coffee coming to Dutch Bros

Dutch Bros announced that it will sell extra-caffeinated, nitrogen-infused cold brew coffee in cans beginning Friday.

The 11.5-ounce cans will be available at all locations, according to the Grants Pass, Ore., coffee company. Dutch Bros says that the canned coffee is “amped up with more caffeine than a typical quad shot of espresso.”

The uber-caffeinated coffee is due to the cold brew process, in which coffee is steeped with cold water over a long period of time, instead of a hot water steep, which dilutes the caffeine content in espresso, according to a company press release.

The coffee beans come from Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador. Nitrogen infusion creates a creamier and richer cold brew, the company submits, because nitrogen does not easily dissolve in water.

Dutch Bros. has five locations in Fresno: 1831 E. McKinley Ave., 4982 E. Ashlan Ave., 1768 W. Shaw Ave., 1773 W. Bullard Ave., 10033 N. Maple Ave.
