OneCUP™ Blue Brew Adapter

San Francisco Bay Coffee makes commercially compostable, single serve coffee pods which we have affectionately named OneCUP™. We produce this product under our San Francisco Bay Coffee and Organic Coffee Company brand names. The commercially compostable materials used in our product will decompose with the right balance of heat, moisture and oxygen. The compost that is generated can then be used as nutrients for the soil. 

OneCUP™ pods work with the majority of single serve brewers. However, there are some new models that have a design feature that can impact the brewing experience when using our OneCUP™ pod. If you have one of the new Keurig®* models that uses MultiStream Brewing Technology™*, then you may find that the puncture needles do not properly pierce the OneCUP™ lids.

MultiStream Brewing Technology™* is featured in some new Keurig®* models and uses five needles to puncture the coffee pod, instead of the traditional one needle seen in previous brewer models. 

When you open the lid of your brewer, if you see five puncture needles like in the image shown, your brewer uses Multi-Stream Technology™*. If you see one puncture needle, then your brewer does not use MultiStream Brewing Technology™*.

We have developed the Blue Brew Adapter to enhance the brewing process and improve OneCUP™ compatibility with brewers that use MultiStream Brewing Technology™*. We are happy to send you a Blue Brew Adapter free of charge. Please contact our Customer Service team at service@sfbaycoffee.com or 1-800-829-1300 to request one.

The Blue Brew Adapter is a small insert that rests in the brewing chamber of MultiStream™* brewers. It slightly boosts the chamber height for ideal brewing of OneCUP™ pods.

You may want to use the Blue Brew Adapter if you own a single serve brewer that uses MultiStream Brewing Technology™*. When you open the lid of your brewer, if you see five puncture needles, your brewer uses MultiStream Technology™* and we recommend using the Blue Brew Adaptor to enhance the brewing process and improve the OneCUP™ pod compatibility with your brewer. If you see one puncture needle, then the Blue Brew Adapter is not recommended.

You can insert the Blue Brew Adaptor by following the instructions above.

YES, when you place the Blue Brew Adapter in the brewing chamber, make sure the straight edge of the adapter is facing the front of the machine toward you.
