Frequently Asked Questions

After the coupler was taken out of the keg, you will see that it has several indents on both sides, which match up with the tabs on top of the keg.

You will need to put the coupler on the keg, place one hand on the keg and the other on the coupler, and subsequently, turn the coupler about a quarter turn, then pull the handle out and push it down.

This is how to tap a keg.

Our company is a keg distributor in Southern California and can provide you with tap products including kombucha, nitro cold brew coffee, and tea.

You can lease or purchase equipment from KEGJOY™, which will guarantee that your clients will have a wonderful experience.

How to connect and disconect a low profile coupler?

Connecting the coupler

• It goes on the top of the keg
• Put it into position and give it a quarter-turn twist clockwise
• Do not overtighten it
• Stand up to get leverage, push and rotate until it locks into place

Disconnecting the coupler

• Put one hand on the keg, one hand on the coupler (you can hook a finger around the line to help)
• Rotate the coupler counterclockwise until it pops up
• Turn it another quarter to be able to remove it

If the keg is empty and you want to change it with a full one, you will first need to remove the coupler from it. You will have to push down slightly on the handle, pull it out, and bring it up.

Afterward, you will need to place one hand on the keg and the other on the coupler and subsequently take it out.

We provide quality services of distribution of kegs, as well as tap products such as kombucha, nitro cold brew, coffee, and tea. If you are interested, you can either lease or purchase the equipment we manufacture, depending on the needs of your business.

The kegs are American Sankey D 20L, pouring 73, 9oz cups. Dimensions. 23.5H x 9.5W

Pull the Tap handle ALL-THE-WAY-OPEN in a quick motion to minimize foam.

Once the glass is 3/4 full upright it to finish the fill. Do not touch the glass to the tap or sink the tap into your filled glass, it’s bad form and unnecessarily dirties the tap.

Kombucha and Cold Brew Coffee kegs need to be refrigerated at all times. **The Kegs compatible with the countertop HOT Nitro Tap and countertop Cold Tap can be unrefrigerated so long as stored out of direct sunlight.

If a gas cylinder is empty, you may want to replace it with a new one. You will first have to find a tank, which matches the gas cylinder you currently have. With the help of a wrench, you will need to loosen the threading on the gas tank, a process that is similar to changing a propane tank.

Afterward, gently put the regulator down, without throwing it. Set aside the empty gas cylinder and grab a full tank. Sometimes, they have a red cap to indicate that it has not been used before. Remove the red cap and subsequently make sure that the component which you will need to attach to it has a gasket. You will then have to line the threads up and subsequently tighten it by hand. You will need a wrench again for the following step, which involves tightening the gasket to the new tank.

However, make sure you do not overtighten it, as this may damage the components and the new tank will thereby not last for a long time. You can test it after you tighten the gasket. Do not forget to turn the line switches back on or otherwise you will not have any pressure going to the kegs.

After you complete these steps, the gage should indicate that the tank is now full and the line pressure will also rise back up. As for a nitrogen tank, the threading will be different, but the process of replacing it with a full tank is relatively the same.

The first sign you should look for when trying to tell the difference between a Co2 tank and a nitrogen cylinder is the label, which is usually present on the cylinder. However, the threading is another telltale sign which you will have to look for when trying to differentiate between a Co2 tank and a nitrogen tank. Accordingly, the threads on a nitrogen cylinder are on the inside, whereas the threads on a Co2 cylinder are on the outside.

KEGJOY™ offers quality distribution services of kegerators, as well as of products such as nitro cold brew, coffee, and tea. Depending on the needs of your business, you can either lease or purchase the quality equipment we manufacture and your clients are guaranteed to have the most pleasant beverage experience.

In the body of the kegerator, there are two gas cylinders: a Co2 cylinder and a Nitrogen cylinder. Co2 is used for pouring Kombucha and sparkling water, Nitrogen is used for cold brew coffee, nitro cold brew, and teas.

Since 2013, we have been providing businesses, as well as individual clients, with premium equipment such as kegerators and quality products such as kombucha, nitro cold brew, coffee, sparkling water and tea kegs. We lease and sell equipment, which can be customized depending on your personal needs or on the needs of your business.

If liquid is not pouring out of the faucet, the first thing you may want to check is whether you have enough gas in the Co2 or nitrogen tank.

You need to look at the gage which shows you the tank pressure and, if it indicates zero, it means that the tank is empty. To solve this issue, you will need to replace the gas tank with a new one.

Founded in 2013, our company leases and sells premium equipment such as kegerators, as well as quality products, such as kombucha, nitro cold brew, coffee, and tea. If you decide to use our equipment, your clients are guaranteed to have the most wonderful beverage experience.

If your product is not pouring properly, there may be multiple causes for this inconvenience. Firstly, if you hear some gas coming out when you pull the tap handle, but no liquid is coming out, you will have to open up the kegerator and check if the keg is empty. If this is the problem, all you have to do is replace the empty keg with a full one.

However, if the keg is not what is causing a lack of liquid, you may want to make sure that you have gas in the tank.

Similarly, if you run out of gas, you will have to replace the empty cylinder with a full one.

A Kegerator is a self-contained refrigerator designed to dispense beverages. If you have just bought your kegerator from our company, you are bound to have a wonderful experience. Also known as a draft system, a kegerator has a tower, faucets in different styles, tap handles, as well as the kegerator body, inside which there are the kegs and the gas cylinder.

These components work together to create a pleasant experience.

The draft tower can have one or multiple faucets, depending on your needs. It also has a built-in drip tray, which subsequently goes to a collection bottle or to a floor skin.

The top of the kegerator has enough space for you to deposit various items, such as cups and glasses. Inside the kegerator, there is the keg and the Co2 or nitrogen tank, which has a regulator telling you how much pressure is in the cylinder and with what pressure you are pushing the coffee out of the faucets.

The keg has a coupler, which has several slots that line up with the tabs on top of the keg. To get the coupler out of the keg, you will either have to push it down or pull it out. Another important aspect you need to know is that the temperature is preset, which means that in case of a power outage, you will not have to reset it.

The kegerator also has a fan in the back which helps maintain the proper temperature. All you have to do to maintain the kegerator is wipe down all the surfaces on a daily basis, as the rest is taken care of by itself. Every month, our team will visit you to help you properly maintain your kegerator.

If the tap handle is taken off for some reason, you may want to reinstall it. You will first have to thread it back up, a process that should go very easily.

Afterward, you will need to handle the adjusting nut. You will have to back the tap handle up until it faces forwards and subsequently take the little tensioner and snug it up to the handle. Now, the tap handle should be secured so that when you are pouring coffee, you will not encounter any issues.

However, sometimes, the tensioner nut and the handle stick to each other, which may make it hard to get the tap handle loose. In this case, you will need a wrench, with the help of which you will have to loosen the tensioner so as to break that seal on the tap handle. You will have to place the wrench around the tensioner and hold the tap handle, after which you will need to give it a turn to the tensioner to be able to break that seal.

When you put the tap handle on the equipment, sometimes it will line up properly, but the tensioner will be sticking out. Nevertheless, you will need to make sure that the tensioner has a bit of movement. To solve the problem of the tensioner sticking out, you will have to back the tap handle up one rotation to where you get the proper display and then rotate the tensioner up to the tap handle. Eventually, this will make the tap handle move a lot better.

If there is ever a power failure, the kegerator will not fail to keep the cold temperature on the inside as long as you do not open the door. When the power comes back on, the set temperature will remain preset, so that you will not have to reset it. Thereby, when the power comes back on, the kegerator will continue working properly as before. This will guarantee you a low-maintenance experience if you choose to lease or purchase a kegerator from our company.

Our company leases and sells equipment such as kegerators, as well as tap products such as kombucha, nitro cold brew, coffee, and tea. By deciding to collaborate with KEGJOY™, your clients are bound to have a wonderful beverage experience.

At KEGJOY™, we offer leases and sales of equipment, from custom builts to standard builts. One of the reasons why someone would choose the lease option is the low-cost entry-level for people to get started in their business.

Furthermore, maintenance and service are included if you choose a lease, as our team will visit you on a monthly basis to help you maintain or repair the equipment you have from our company in exchange for a sum of money. We will promptly replace any defective components for you within 24 hours. If, however, you choose to purchase equipment from KEGJOY™, the advantages are that you can have a custom installation and no monthly cost for the maintenance and repair of the equipment.

Whether you want to lease or purchase equipment through our company, we have the ability to create the perfect draft experience for you.

We want to make sure that you are happy with your draft system and for this reason, we will take into consideration aspects such as health requirements and aesthetics so that you will be able to offer your clients the best experience. We do not want to provide you with anything that will not sell well and thereby, we will create a draft system, which meets your demands.

Our company can customize the draft system you are going to buy and make it as big or as small as you want. We work for a wide range of companies in the retail space, so we can provide you with a 36 tap handle draft system, as well as with a single tap handle draft system, depending on your needs.

We can create anything you need to meet the requirements of your clients. We use 3 o’4 stainless steel draft components to be able to maintain the highest quality of our products, as well as provide the best beverage experience. By using this type of stainless steel, we guarantee that your products will last for a very long time.

If you purchased your first draft system from our company, whether it is for your own home or for a corporate office, you need to know a few aspects of the equipment you have just bought from KEGJOY™.

The system has tap handles, faucets, a tower, a kegerator body, as well as internal components, which make the draft system work properly. Inside the kegerator, there are couplers, which attach to the kegs and the cold plate, which you have to be aware of, because if the product lines touch it, they may cause a freezing spot.

Thereby, if you notice that the product stops flowing out of the faucets, make sure that the lines are not touching the cold plate. If they are, you will only have to pull them off and use a dry towel to defreeze the area in question. You will also want to regularly check the CO2 gas tank or the nitrogen gas tank, which our team will constantly help you maintain. Another reason why the product may not be pouring is that the gas tank is empty, so you should also check the gages on the gas tank.

Yes, we’ll supply the proper gas cylinders for the products to be poured. KEGJOY™ is primarily dispensed with CO2 gas. Cold Brew on tap is dispensed with Nitrogen gas.

Grab a glass and hold it 1inch below the tap at a 45-degree angle. Pull the Tap handle ALL-THE-WAY-OPEN in a quick motion to minimize foam. Once the glass is 3/4 full upright it to finish the fill. Do not touch the glass to the tap or sink the tap into your filled glass, it’s bad form and unnecessarily dirties the tap.

Kombucha is a healthy, refreshing fermented tea with beneficial probiotics reported aiding in digestion and immunity. Kombucha is low calorie, low sugar with a naturally effervescent, and slight tartness. It’s RAW, Organic, Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Low-Glycemic. KEGJOY™ is primarily dispensed with CO2 gas. Kombucha is a naturally bubbly fermented tea that originated in China thousands of years ago.

The ancient elixir is now the fastest-growing functional beverage on the market in the U.S. Most people drink it because it tastes delicious. Kombucha has a very unique, effervescent, slightly tart, musty flavor that can be compared with white wine or champagne. It is amazing for cocktails (check out our mixology page) and can be paired with fine dining.

It can be a much healthier alternative to soft drinks in restaurants. More and more people starting to look for healthier alternatives. Imagine going out to a restaurant wanting to have a nice time, and would like to drink something non-alcoholic, however something fancy enough.

What alternatives can restaurants offer: water, Coke, Pepsi, orange juice? Doesn’t sound that appealing, does it? This is where Kombucha can come in handy. You can get a similar flavor and sophistication, plus the multiple health benefits. This beverage has an antioxidant effect, is packed with probiotics, improves digestion and gut health, can boost the immune system, and is generally energizing for those who drink it.

If you are a restaurant or coffee shop owner, just think about all the opportunities this can bring!

A bigger variety of healthier beverages on your menu will increase the number of happy customers! This can set you apart from others. It can be beneficial for your business and the environment also.

Yes, kombucha can be consumed daily in moderation. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends consuming approximately 12 ounces of kombucha per day. In general, the amount of kombucha right for daily consumption depends on a few factors:

• Your age and current health
• Your tolerance for the brew’s ingredients
• The type of kombucha you're drinking (home-made, traditional, carbonated, flavored)

We recommend that if you're new to kombucha, start by drinking just half or one glass a day and see how your body responds, then gradually increase the dose until you find the right amount for you.

Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from tea (typically black or green), sugar or honey, and a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast). The SCOBY ferments the sugar in the tea, creating a slightly acidic, fizzy drink rich in probiotics, organic acids and antioxidants.

Studies show that kombucha may contain properties that can aid people in losing weight by improving digestion, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and preventing cravings and overeating. Studies suggest that regular kombucha consumption may be beneficial for weight control.

Some studies suggest that kombucha can modulate the microbiome to a healthier state, but the effects can vary from person to person. Due to its probiotics, organic acids, and phenolic compounds, kombucha can be really good for your microbiome. Regular kombucha consumption promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, which can enhance digestion. While studies have shown promising results, further research is needed to understand the long-term effects of kombucha on the microbiome.

Regular kombucha consumption can be good for gut health due to its probiotics, organic acids, and phenolic compounds, which can support a healthy gut microbiome. The probiotics in kombucha can increase the good, healthy gut bacteria, help decrease bad bacteria, and maintain a balance that can have positive benefits for overall health and well-being. While studies have shown promising results, further research and large-scale trials are needed to fully understand the long-term effects of kombucha on gut health.

Kombucha is rich in probiotics, B vitamins, organic acids, polyphenols, and antioxidants, which are essential for maintaining our health.

• These organic acids from the fizzy beverage can fight against bad bacterial growth.
• Polyphenols can help regulate the immune system, in addition to reducing inflammation.
• Enzymes and acids in kombucha can improve digestion and balance the gut microbiome.

Although a small amount of alcohol naturally occurs as a byproduct of the fermentation process of kombucha, it is unlikely that you will get drunk from drinking a large amount of kombucha. The alcohol results from yeast fermenting sugar into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethanol. Since each type of kombucha is made differently, the alcohol level in kombucha varies, and some brewers can even reduce it using various methods.

Commercially produced kombucha must contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume to be sold as a non-alcoholic drink. Homemade kombucha is more likely to have a higher alcohol content, depending on the length of the brewing process, which affects the fermentation and, consequently, the alcohol content.

The slow brewing process at low temperatures brings out the natural sweetness in coffee beans, reduces the need for adding sugar or cream, and makes the brew perfect for those who want to cut calories, prevent glucose spikes, or reduce their sugar intake. The cold brew’s naturally sweet, less bitter flavor is more enjoyable for people who find hot brew coffee too harsh.

Kombucha on tap is a fermented, fizzy tea beverage served from a keg using a draft system, similar to how beer is dispensed. Serving kombucha on tap keeps the drink fresher while reducing waste. A tap handle is pulled to pour the drink into a glass, ensuring a consistent level of carbonation from start to finish. Serving kombucha on tap is more cost-effective and sustainable than drinking it from single-serve glass bottles or aluminum cans.

If you are a kombucha enthusiast, we recommend going with kegs instead of individual bottles. According to many brewers, kegging kombucha and serving it on tap is the best way to store and enjoy this fizzy beverage, as it protects it from light and temperature fluctuations, preserving its flavor and quality.

Storing kombucha on tap is the most eco-friendly way, as it reduces waste from cans and bottles. Serving kombucha on tap also makes it possible to enjoy multiple, flavored kombucha samples fresh and carbonated, from the first pour to the last.

Cold Brew is a way of brewing coffee where the ground coffee is steeped only in cold water for up to 24 hours. This brewing process yields a richer, smoother, less acidic flavor with a higher caffeinated kick. Cold Brew on tap is dispensed with Nitrogen gas. Cold-brew coffee started to gain popularity in recent years because of its many health benefits.

If regular coffee upsets your stomach, cold brew might not. The only way to know is to try it. The cold extraction process produces a sweeter and more flavorful result because it brings out fewer of the coffee’s bitter compounds. If you like your coffee hot, you can heat up a cold brew, it will not affect the flavor.

Regularly drinking cold brew coffee may help reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes and may boost your metabolic rate. This delicious drink can help you lose or, at least, maintain your weight. The caffeine can lift your mood and improve your brain's functions. People who are drinking cold brew coffee may have improved heart health. However, people with high blood pressure should limit their caffeine intake. Cold brew coffee contains phenylindanes, nonharman and harman compounds that can help protect your brain from age-related diseases.

In conclusion, cold brew coffee is an enjoyable alternative to hot coffee. It is less acidic and less bitter, which makes it more easily tolerated by individuals with a sensitive stomach. Another amazing benefit for busy people, you can keep the ready-made coffee in the fridge for up to two weeks!

Cold brew coffee often contains more caffeine and is stronger than hot-brewed coffee, as it uses a higher coffee-to-water ratio and has a longer steeping time (8 to 24 hours), resulting in a more concentrated brew. Many people enjoy adding milk or cream to their cold brew, which dilutes its concentration and reduces the caffeine levels to those found in hot coffee.

Cold brew coffee’s slow brewing process at low temperatures slows down the extraction of the acids from the coffee beans. The result is a smoother, less acidic coffee (its pH tends to be higher, closer to neutral), less bitter, and less harsh brew, which is less likely to irritate the stomach lining or trigger acid reflux. Studies have shown that coffee brewed at a low heat temperature can be approximately 60% less acidic than coffee brewed at a higher temperature, making it a better option for daily consumption. Cold-brewed coffee’s pH tends to be higher, closer to neutral (around 6).

If you are a cold brew coffee enthusiast, we recommend going with kegs instead of cans. According to many brewers, kegging cold brew coffee and serving it on tap is the best way to store and enjoy this energizing beverage, as it protects from light and temperature fluctuations, preserving its quality.

Additionally, storing cold brew on tap is the most eco-friendly option, as it reduces waste from cans. Notably, having it on tap allows for enjoying multiple cold brew samples, fresh and tasty from the first pour to the last.

Cold brew coffee on tap is a less bitter, less acidic beverage served from a keg using a draft system, similar to how wine or beer is dispensed. Storing and serving cold brew on tap keeps this energizing beverage fresher while minimizing waste. It is more cost-effective and eco-friendly than drinking it from single-serve aluminum cans or glass bottles.

Nitro Cold Brew is brewed the same as standard Cold Brew only poured at a higher gas pressure and using a stout style faucet to provide the cascading waves of nitrogen bubbles, silky creamy texture, and taste with a delightful frothy crown. While it looks like there is cream in it Nitro Cold Brew is just Coffee and Water with Nitrogen bubbles to delight your senses.

It is becoming the “new favorite” among heavy coffee drinkers because of its multiple benefits. Cold-brew has lower acidity than regular coffee, so it can be enjoyed without worrying about getting heartburn or suffer from acid reflux. People with a sensitive stomach can tolerate much easier nitro cold brew coffee.

Another amazing benefit is that you get the rich, creamy, sweet taste from the nitrogen, without sugar, cream, or any dairy being added.

Nitrogen is an odorless and colorless gas with smaller bubbles than carbon dioxide. These tiny bubbles dissolve slowly in your cold brew coffee and give a thick, heavy feel to it. Nitrogen can make a strong, black coffee taste smooth and sweet. Nitrogen is a natural preservative also, which gives a practical kick to your coffee experience: by pushing out oxygen it keeps the coffee fresh-tasting all day long. 

Airtight bottled nitrogen cold brew keeps much longer, making large-scale business possible. Our coffee on tap is perfect for coffee shops! It takes only a few seconds to pour the drink, which keeps long lines of customers moving quickly. As a business, this can be the perfect fit to increase your bottom line. It is the newest trend among coffee shop owners.

Lots of gyms and fitness studios started to add nitro cold coffee to their menus. After or before a workout, you can drink this coffee tasting sweet enough, without unhealthy sugars or harsh chemicals and additives, and still get the energy boost from the caffeine.

It is becoming popular among health-conscious people. The creamy like, naturally sweet, and rich flavor can create a satisfying sensory illusion on your tongue, without the need to give up sugar or dairy. It is the perfect coffee if you are vegan, or on different diets: like keto or paleo, or just trying to lose weight. A 12-ounce cup has roughly five calories.

Whether you are a coffee shop, restaurant, fitness salon, health food store owner, or just want to have a healthier lifestyle, this is the new favorite thing that can change your life for much better!

Nitrogen is an odorless and colorless gas that produces small bubbles, which slowly dissolve in your cold brew coffee, making it taste smooth and sweet. Nitrogen is a natural preservative that keeps the coffee fresh-tasting all day long. Nitro cold brew is poured at a higher gas pressure than regular cold brew, utilizing a stout-style faucet to provide cascading waves of nitrogen bubbles. The result is an energizing beverage with creamy texture, smooth taste, and a delightful frothy crown. Another great benefit is that you get the creamy, sweet flavor from the nitrogen, without the need to add sugar, cream, or any dairy to your cold brew.

Nitro coffee's advantages stem from the cold brewing process and the nitrogen gas infused into the cold brew, creating a naturally creamy drink with a smooth texture. It provides an energy boost from caffeine and an enhanced coffee experience.

• It has a sweeter taste than traditionally brewed coffee without added sugar, creamers, or sweeteners, making it an excellent option for vegans or those avoiding dairy.
• The prolonged cold brewing process produces a more stomach-friendly coffee with lower bitterness and acidity./li>

Advantages of serving nitro coffee on tap

Stored in kegs, the cold brew coffee is protected from light and temperature fluctuations, preserving its freshness and quality.

Nitro coffee on tap allows you to enjoy multiple samples while minimizing waste. It is more cost-effective and sustainable than drinking coffee from single-serve aluminum cans or bottles.

Nitro tea is cold-brewed tea put into a system, like a keg, and infused with high-pressure nitrogen gas. The nitrogen creates a visually appealing effect when poured, enhances the tea's flavor, and gives it a creamy texture and a foam that settles on top. Nitro tea has gained popularity as a refreshing brew and can be made with various teas, including green, black, fruity, or herbal varieties.

Nitro tea, just like traditionally brewed hot tea, has several potential health advantages.

• The nitrogen reduces the tea’s acidity, making it easier on the stomach. 
• Nitro tea contains caffeine, especially the ones with high-caffeine bases like matcha or yerba mate.
• Nitro tea provides an energy boost without the crash associated with coffee or energy drinks.
• Nitro tea is rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress.
• Nitro tea with yerba mate base can support mental clarity and focus, while the amino acid L-theanine in green tea promotes tranquility and relaxation.
• Nitrogen gives the tea a creamy, sweet flavor, and many nitro teas are sugar-free, making them a low-calorie, healthy beverage.

While there is much debate over whether nitro tea is better for you than traditionally brewed tea, most research indicates it is. Additionally, because nitro tea is usually cold, it can be a great way to cool down on a hot day and stay hydrated. Nitro tea is lower in sugar and acidity, making it a healthier choice overall.

The best way to serve nitro-infused tea is to use a system that safely infuses the gas into the beverage. This makes it super simple to batch up large amounts of your favorite tea selection and serve them directly from the tap.

Both matcha and green tea come from Camellia sinensis, a plant commonly found in China, Japan, and Vietnam. Unlike traditional green tea, where the leaves are infused and then removed before drinking, matcha uses the entire tea leaf, giving an enhanced experience.

Matcha is specially shade-grown green tea leaves ground into powder, while green tea typically refers to dried leaves. Whole-leaf matcha is more concentrated (because you consume the green tea powder, rather than just the infusion) and contains higher levels of caffeine and antioxidants. Matcha is prepared by whisking the fine tea powder into hot water, while green tea is prepared by infusing the leaves in the water

Matcha is a vivid green, concentrated powder of tea leaves with a distinct flavor that is smoother than other green teas. It is rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals that may confer benefits on human health.

• Studies such as the one published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that catechins (antioxidants) and rutin (bioflavonoid) in green tea help lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.
• Polyphenols are known for their anti-inflammatory effects.
• L-theanine (an amino acid) found in matcha has been linked to a state of alertness and improved focus and concentration. It may also promote relaxation and lower the body's stress response.
• Matcha may also support metabolism and a healthy gut microbiome, potentially helping with weight loss.

While these benefits are promising, further human studies are needed to substantiate claims that matcha can improve cardiovascular health, cognition, and other health outcomes.

Matcha, a vivid green tea powder enjoyed in China and Japan for centuries, is now a top favourite in tea shops, cafes, offices, and homes across the US. More than just a trend, matcha offers benefits that make it an excellent addition to your office on-tap beverage menu. It’s renowned for its smooth, earthy flavour and its range of health benefits, including:

• Energy boost – Matcha contains caffeine and L-theanine, which provide sustained, calm focus and alertness without a caffeine crash.
• Supports wellbeing – The unique combination of caffeine and L-theanine promotes alertness and relaxation while reducing stress.
• Versatile – Works well prepared traditionally, but also as a hot or iced drink blended with cold milk, cream, plant-based milk, or a drizzle of flavoured syrup for a sweet treat.

To keep your matcha fresh and full of flavour, it’s best to store it in kegs, in a cool, dark place, away from heat and humidity, and serve it on tap. Exposure to air and light can cause it to lose its earthy flavor and vivid green color over time. Offering matcha on tap at your workplace demonstrates your commitment to well-being and quality. With our small-office kegerator, serving these refreshing drinks is quick and simple, making it a perfect addition to any workplace break room.

Water kefir, also known as California bees, is a probiotic beverage naturally carbonated and fermented. It is made from water, sugar and water kefir grains, which are translucent, crystal-like granules of bacteria and yeast. It's an excellent lactose-free, vegan alternative to milk kefir. It is known for its gut health benefits and its simple brewing process. The kefir grains ferment the sugar, creating a fizzy drink with a slightly sweet taste. You can enhance its flavor by adding fruits or herbs during a second fermentation.

Water kefir’s advantages stem from its fermentation process, which creates a naturally carbonated, slightly sweet drink rich in probiotics.

Advantages of having water kefir on tap

Stored in kegs, kefir is protected from light and temperature fluctuations, preserving its quality for longer. The taste of kefir can be enhanced and diversified through a second fermentation by adding fruits, juices, and herbs.

Water kefir on tap lets you enjoy multiple-flavored kefir samples while minimizing waste. It is more cost-effective and sustainable than drinking kefir from single-serve cans or bottles. Automated systems, such as a self-serve kegerator, deliver the exact same taste and freshness every time.

Other advantages of having water kefir on tap:

• No need for preparation
• Minimizing waste - cans, bottles, or ingredients
• Guaranteed quality and freshness/li>
• Simple serving, just a pour away

Although both drinks undergo fermentation and are rich in probiotics, several qualities distinguish them. Kombucha and kefir may have various health benefits due to the beneficial bacteria, antioxidants, and enzyme content. Both fermented drinks are great for hydration, and whether to consume one or both depends on individual needs or preferences.

Preparation differences:

• Kombucha is prepared by adding a scoby to sweet tea and fermenting it for one or more weeks.
• Water kefir is prepared by adding kefir grains to water and sugar, then fermenting for 24-48 hours.

Differences of taste

• Kombucha is slightly sweet and effervescent, with a flavor that varies depending on the fermentation time and the tea used (green or black). The fermentation time determines whether the kombucha has a mild or a strong vinegar-like taste.
• Water kefir is a fizzy, slightly sweet drink, and its flavor can be enhanced with a second fermentation with fruits, juices, and herbs.

Benefits of kombucha and kefir

• Kombucha can be beneficial for gut health, support digestion, and boost energy levels, depending on the tea used and its caffeine content (which can vary).
• Water kefir contains enzymes and acids that don’t seem to have as potent effects as those in kombucha, while it contains a greater number of bacterial strains than those found in kombucha.

People often use the terms seltzer and sparkling water interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two. Seltzer water is plain water that has been carbonated with no minerals added, while sparkling water is naturally bubbly and may contain certain natural minerals.
