Mother Parkers' RealCup™ brand joins forces for launch of iCoffee® Opus model single serve brewer

Now available at all U.S. Bed, Bath & Beyond® stores, new brewer packaged with six capsules from the RealCup™ brand portfolio for smooth, authentic-tasting coffee

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 25, 2014 /CNW/ - There's a new capsule brewer on the market and its brewing performance is so good, the RealCup™ brand couldn't wait to get inside!

Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee is working with iCoffee® by Remington® brewers to give consumers their first taste of some of the best coffee and tea that can be brewed from a single serve capsule.  Five coffee capsules and one capsule of tea in the RealCup™ brand format will be included in iCoffee's® Opus brewer available now at all Bed Bath & Beyond® U.S. retail stores.  The RealCup™ brand starter pack includes Tim Hortons® regular and decaf blends, Marley Coffee's® popular One Love and Lively Up organic roasts, and the Higgins & Burke™ new Lush Berry™ loose leaf herbal tea.

"Our expert cuppers were extremely impressed with the quality and taste produced by the Opus, Remington's new iCoffee® single serve brewer," explained Daud Khan, Manager of Product Development at Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee.  "The iCoffee® Opus brewer produces one of the smoothest and most well-rounded cups of coffee and tea on the market."

Remington Designs and Mother Parkers will continue to work together to enhance innovation and choice in the single serve brewer market.  "When companies like ours come together and partner in an open and competitive marketplace, great things happen and consumers are the ultimate winners," said Bill VandenBygaart, Vice President of Business Development at Mother Parkers Tea & Coffee.  "We aren't stopping with RealCup™ capsules in the Remington® iCoffee® brewer boxes…we're working on developing a capsule that can brew a 16oz serving utilizing iCoffee's SpinBrew™ technology, something that can't be done with the current Keurig® K-Cup® capsules and brewers on the market."
