a needle positioned in said top holder wherein placing the disposable single serving container in said top holder and securing said spacer on said top holder, causes said needle to penetrate the bottom of the disposable single serving container to further allow gas to escape and liquid to enter when the container is filled with liquid;
a bottom holder adapted to hold a second disposable single serving container securable underneath said top holder;
wherein the top holder comprises a bottom slicer connected to the underside of the top holder and configured to engage with a top portion of a second disposable coffee cup which is housed within the bottom holder.
2. The brewing device in claim 1 , wherein
the bottom slicer comprising at least one slicer knife positioned wherein securing said bottom holder to said top holder moves said bottom slicer in a rotational motion through the foil top of the second disposable single serving container, creating an opening in the foil top of the second disposable single serving container accessible by a foil slice window and at least one slicer window of the bottom slicer that allows gas to escape and liquid to enter the second disposable single serving container when the container is filled with liquid.
3. The brewing device in claim 2 , further comprising:
a second needle positioned in said bottom holder wherein placing the second disposable single serving container in said bottom holder and securing said bottom holder on said top holder, causes said second needle to penetrate the bottom of the second disposable single serving container to further allow gas to escape and liquid to enter when the container is filled with liquid.
