What does adding nitrogen do for coffee?

Asked by 2davidc8 (10189points) August 1st, 2020

Starbucks has this “Nitro” line where they supposedly infuse nitrogen into their coffee.
My understanding is that nitrogen is relatively inert, and the air we breathe is 78% nitrogen anyway. So, what does the nitrogen do for the coffee? Does it taste any different? How?
