My coffee typically consists of nine parts sweetened creamer to one part coffee. However, after being introduced to the iCoffee machine, for free—don’t worry all thoughts and opinions are my own, I can proudly report that I am now drinking my coffee black!
How to Drink Coffee Black
I tried weaning myself for weeks. I got down to just using almond milk, but I wasn’t really enjoying my coffee because I just couldn’t seem to cut the bitterness. But, I am super determined to reach my fitness goals and I know that starting the day with so much sugar is awful. Not to mention all those additional calories pile up quick. I’d rather EAT my calories than drink them so when I heard about the iCoffee Machine made by Remington, I was skeptical but intrigued.
The iCoffee boasts the ability to remove the bitterness by using innovative (that’s what the “i” stands for) SteamBrew™ technology. I don’t really understand the science behind this but I can say that whatever is happening, IT WORKS. (Check out the video below.) I am now sincerely enjoying and looking forward to my coffee without all the added garbage. Plus the kids and I find watching the machine in action pretty entertaining. Through the viewing window you can see coffee being made.
iCoffee RCB100 12 Cup Coffee Maker With Steam Brew Technology, BlackGet It Here
Remington offers several machines so whether you prefer the one cup style machines or the carafe versions, they’ve got what you need.
As a nutrition student, I can’t help but emphasize how awesome coffee can actually be for you, in moderation of course. Like all things, balance is key—too much of a good thing is not good. But by starting your day with a boost of natural caffeine, antioxidants, flavanoids and a nutritious breakfast you’re really off to a great start. So ditch all the sweeteners and reap the benefits of what nature intended…
BETH DUNLAVY HOPPE says
I could use a new one and it looks like a good one.
Natalie says
Oh I would love to win this! I can’t drink coffee without cream.
Mya Murphy says
I would like to win because I love a great fresh cup of coffee.
Peggy Cole says
Would like to win one because I would also like to cut the bitterness in coffee, I also take lots of dairy and non dairy creamers to make it taste smoother. I had never heard of this type of machine, sounds like it would work pretty well.
Cindy Merrill says
I like new technology, this one intrigues me. My old coffee machine is not heating the coffee as much as it should, really need a new one.
Candie L says
I would love watching it actually brew my coffee (that was one of the features). Thank you
Barrie says
I LOVE coffee but I feel that my coffee maker isn’t as good as what is out there. When I heard that icoffee steams the coffee beans, that just made sense to me. I can see coffee tasting better and less bitter!
Madeline Jones says
I learned that this took 7 years to make!
Kristin says
No I totally want one because of this: First, the coffee is pre-steamed to evenly apply proper moisture and heat. Like steaming vegetables to unlock nutrition and flavor, iCofffee uses the benefits of steam to open up and fully release only the non-bitter, non-acidic, exquisitely smooth coffee flavors. This sounds awesome!!
Brynn says
I LOVE cofee and my coffee maker just died 🙁 I would love this
Rust says
I like that the coffee is pre-steamed to evenly apply proper moisture and heat.
angie pruden says
i drink alot of coffe would love to be able to drink it black so i dont get all those calories

Tiffany Greene Elliott says
I would love to win because the iCoffee takes less coffee ground than regular brewer. The coffee is pre-steamed to evenly apply proper moisture and heat. I also absolutely love that it has six patented SteamBrewTM hot water rotational jets further steam. Lastly it has a SteamBrew process through the Brew-viewing window which I think it is awesome!! I always love to watch how everything works!! We love coffee here!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

Brutus Duffy says
I think the steam technology would enhance the flavor of my coffee which is why I want to win the iCoffee machine.
Cori Westphal says
To me, coffee is all about the flavor. If it’s bad coffee, it’s not worth it. Something that helps bring the best flavor possible out of the beans, is perfect for my kitchen!
