Frequently Asked Questions
Brewing Questions
Q. How do you brew a cup of Spirit Bear Coffee using the coffee pods?
A. Use fresh, cold water to fill the reservoir tank on your single-serve machine. Depending on taste preference, we recommend brewing with the 8 oz cup setting for a full-flavoured coffee, or the 10 oz cup setting for a milder coffee.
Q. Which pod brewers are Spirit Bear Coffee Pods compatible with?
A. Spirit Bear Coffee Pods are Keurig 2.0 compatible and works in K-Cup® compatible single-serve coffee makers such as Keurig®, Cuisinart® or Hamilton Beach® brewers. Spirit Bear Coffee Company pods ARE NOT compatible with Keurig Vue®, Tassimo®, Nespresso® machines or other types of single-serve brewers.
Compostable Questions
Q. What does 100% compostable mean?
A. Spirit Bear Coffee Company pods are 100% commercially compostable! It is fully compostable in a commercial compost facility. Spirit Bear Coffee Company pods are made of a lid, ring, mesh and coffee – the hard plastic that you see is actually plant-based PLA resin. It is very similar to a compostable fork and knife.
Q. Can I dispose of my used Spirit Bear Coffee Company soft pods in my garden or food waste composter?
A. We don’t recommend it. Each person looks after their home compost differently, we can’t guarantee its success in your home compost. At a commercial facility they create optimal conditions to ensure waste breaks down, which is ideal in this case.
Q. Can I dispose my used Spirit Bear Coffee Company pods in my municipal green bin program?
A. Please check with your local municipality. In Canada, commercial compost rules can vary between municipalities. Each city may vary in their processes and have different requirements for disposal.
Q. If the municipal green bin program does not accept the pods, why do compostable pods matter?
A. Because we understand change takes time and one of the best ways to speed up change is to show manufacturers that there’s a demand for compostable materials and to show local governments there’s a demand for green bin programs to accept them.
With your help we can make a difference - one cup at a time. Together, we can reduce the garbage being generated by single-serve coffee.
