Bitter-Free Coffee Brewers

The 'iCoffee Opus' Works with Any K-Cup to Make Bitter-Free Java

Additionally, each cup takes less than one minute to brew.

The easy-to-use machine allows consumers to plug it in, turn it on and even select the desired amount of water that is distributed into each cup using a knob.
