Using cream chargers and a whipped cream dispenser to make fresh whipped cream is easy and quick
It’s true, whipped cream is best created using a whipped cream dispenser and N20 cream chargers. If you’re looking to get more whip cream for your buck, then there’s no other choice. Using a whipped cream dispenser yields twice the amount of whipped cream than with the traditional method of whipping by hand. This is the method most coffee shops including Starbucks uses to make a delicious whipped cream for coffee or cakes. Follow these instructions to get the perfect fluffiest whipped cream!

2. Choose the Whipped Cream Dispenser that Fits your needs
There are many different types of whipped cream dispensers available to purchase, as well as brands like Mosa and iSi. There are many different size dispensers as well. 1 Liter is the biggest 0.5L is the most popular and 0.25L is the smallest. Most people including commercial chef’s and restaurants will only use 0.5L dispensers. Larger whipped cream dispensers will mean you have to use 2 N20 cream chargers. In addition, there are home use dispensers and more culinary heavy dispensers.
The iSi Profi whipped cream dispenser is a popular choice for the commercial kitchen ( like Starbucks) as well as home use. We find it to be the best dispenser due to its ability to be easily cleaned. Unlike some other dispensers, the head valve comes out and can be cleaned easily. The head valve is the main hardware that makes your whipped cream dispenser work, so you can understand why it’s important to be cleaned regularly.
Some other dispensers don’t allow this functionality, for example, the Gourmet whip’s head valve does not come out for cleaning. However, it’s a dispenser that is a great product used for hot and cold items. Where in some other dispensers it does not come out and can’t be cleaned. If you’re mostly just using your dispenser for whipped cream, then a high-quality low-cost dispenser like the Mosa whipped cream dispensers would be the brand for you, or the iSi Easy whip is a great choice for quick and easy whipped cream.
3. Choose a brand of N20 Cream Chargers
Nitrous oxide whipped cream chargers, or whipped cream bulbs as they are known are 8 gram non-threaded, non–refillable stainless steel bulbs with food grade Nitrous oxide inside. All N20 cream chargers are not made equal. CreamWhip only supplies the highest quality N20 cream chargers that are certified HACCP and ISO 9001 certification. This ensures the cleanest safest N2O food propellant available. Most of our suppliers are sourced from the European Union.

screw the head of the dispenser back on, and ensure the tip is screwed on to the end of the head valve.
Put 1 N20 cream charger bulb into your charger holder and screw it on the head of the dispenser.
once the gas releases you can unscrew the charger hold or keep it in place.
Shake the dispenser so the nitrous yields with the cream.
When dispensing the whipped cream turn the dispenser upside down and press the lever.
