Switch to Bag‑in‑Box (BiB)
Due to tariff-related supply disruptions BIK one-way kegs are no longer available in USA. The GOOD news, there’s a better, more cost-effective solution available now: Bag‑in‑Box Draft Coffee.
Why Bag‑in‑Box?
- Lower packaging cost — savings compared to BIK kegs
- Reduced shipping & storage — lighter, easier to handle
- Eco-friendly — less material and less waste
- Shelf-stable for six months — same as BIK kegs
- Excellent Nitro performance — with inline infuser
What You’ll Need
- BiB Pump — powered by the LINDR Flash Chiller onboard compressor. Conversion Kit available here: https://www.nitrocoffee.store/products/flojet-t5000-series-air-operated-diaphragm-pumps
- Infuser (for Nitro) — connects to filtered air or nitrogen
- Help with Setup — remote coaching via phone or Zoom available
Cost & ROI
Expect a one-time setup cost of $175 for the BiB pump and infuser. After that, BiB saves money per order compared to BIK kegs and pays for itself quickly.
