The new system will debut at the International Home+Housewares Show (IHHS) in Chicago next week and will be showcased in demonstrations.
“iCup is a breakthrough technology for the single-serve brewer industry, providing a superior tasting cup of coffee as compared with your favourite Keurig K-Cup or K-type equivalent,” said Bruce Burrows, Remington CEO.
iCup uses iCoffee’s patented rotational SteamBrew technology to steam and stir the coffee grounds in all Keurig and K-type compatible cups. This rotational brewing technology creates a brewing environment that extracts rich, smooth flavours without the bitter/acidic aftertaste often associated with drip and single-serve coffee brewers.
“We have changed the game by creating a system that accepts all Keurig K-Cups, including the new 2.0 interactive K-Cups, as well as any K-type equivalent. By popular demand, our iCoffee lovers requested we put the ‘impossibly smooth’ taste that they experience with iCoffee in a single-serve machine, and we are thrilled to be able to do that with iCup.”
Remington launched iCoffee in 2013. It was the first coffee brewer ever to utilise rotational steam jets inside the brew basket to crack open the grounds, unlocking all the rich coffee flavours while eliminating any bitter or acidic aftertaste.
The iCup brewer is also the first to use a patent-pending Dial-a-Brew cup size selector that provides the user with any brew strength between 6oz and 18oz depending on the configuration.
iCup will be produced in four models, some including a built-in storage space that holds eight coffee pods. Available at retail by third quarter 2014.
