If you reached this page, you're looking for Pico Paks. Since PicoBrew shut down, Paks are no longer being made. The community has banded together to create solutions for continuing to use our PicoBrew devices and one of them is a reusable bin for ingredients called Pico-Free. Right now, Jonathan Gregory is taking pre-orders for a short-run production order. IF YOU NEED A PICO-FREE BIN, PRE-ORDER NOW.
