Empower Your Kegerator with the Nitro-Infuser

Welcome to Rapids Wholesale - we know you're probably just getting back to work after a hectic (and information-filled) visit to Coffee Fest New York 2019 or the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, so we appreciate your taking the time to learn more about our Nitro-Infused Empowered Kegerators and how they can revolutionize the way you pour nitro coffee.

The Best of Both Worlds

Rapids was created back in 1936 by Harry Ribble, the developer of the world's first direct draw beer dispenser. While our business has grown and expanded since then, dispensing has remained a major component of our operations, and now we've taken that direct draw beer dispenser one step further and empowered it for your cold brew coffee operation.

This empowerment comes in the form of the Nitro Infuser from Enhanced Beverage Solutions. Coupled with our house-brand Volition's portable kegerator, as well as our vast experience with dispensing, this infuser makes delivering the delicious cold brew your customers crave simple.

Awarding-Winning Towers

It's not just us - judges love the EBS nitro towers too! During their debut at CoffeeFest New York 2019, they were awarded Best New Product in the Non-Consumable category!

"Stop Shakin' That Keg": Benefits of Using the EBS Nitro Infuser

  • Easy and fast installation between the keg and your tap with either the in-line infuser or infused tower
  • Eliminates the need to pre-charge the keg by nitrogenating at the tap
  • Consistent pour every time
  • Impressive pour speed
  • User-friendly, which means you can quickly adapt it for self-serve setups
  • Design allows for customization to meet shop standards.

Pour More Than Just Coffee

The advantages of the nitro infuser aren't limited to coffee - you can pour nitro-infused tea, tea lattes, kombucha, wine, and more! We've even heard of nitro infused milk! This versatility makes it easy to expand your menu by simply putting a new twist on a classic.

Many Cold Brew/Nitro Coffee Options are Available!
