iCoffee by Remington is a new coffee brewer that recently debuted as the first new coffee brewing technology in over 50 years. iCoffee took seven years and over 1,257 prototypes to perfect. iCoffee’s patented SteamBrew™ technology makes it the first coffee brewer ever to utilize steam jets inside the coffee brew basket. The SteamBrew™ jets first pre-steam the coffee and then stir the coffee throughout the brewing process so each of the coffee grounds is completely suspended and surrounded by hot water at the perfect brewing temperature. Next, a rich coffee crema forms, indicating the elimination of bitter and acidic aftertastes. It makes a smooth, creamy cup of coffee and would be a great gift for coffee lovers! iCoffee retails for $169.95 and is available at major national retail stores and at www.icoffee.com.
