COLD COFFEE BREWING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF

摘要

A coffee brewing device, such as a cold coffee brewing device and related methods are disclosed. The device includes a container, a supported horizontal plate that holds filter paper in place, and a spigot below the horizontal plate. Coffee grounds are placed on the filter, then water is added to the container such that minimal disturbance of the coffee ground bed occurs. When the spigot is opened, liquid is removed in a north/south (up/down) direction through the coffee ground bed. The coffee ground bed serves as a first filter, the filter serves as a second filter, and the chamber below the horizontal plate serves as a coalescing chamber where sediment drops out thus serving as a third filter. The resulting liquid dispensed from the spigot is amber in color and clear.

主权项

1. A coffee brewing device, comprising:
a container made of food-grade material that is capable of holding a quantity of water, wherein the container has a height that is greater than a width of the container; a first horizontal plate positioned above the base of the container, the first horizontal plate having a shape substantially coextensive with the shape of the container at the height at which the first horizontal plate is positioned, and having a plurality of first holes; a rigid component that hold and positions the first horizontal plate above the base of the container; a filter that abuts the first horizontal plate and which shaped to be substantially coextensive with the first horizontal plate, wherein the filter has a plurality of holes that have a smaller average diameter as compared to the average diameter of the plurality of holes of the first horizontal plate; and an outlet spigot positioned on the exterior of the container below the position of the first horizontal plate and a position above the base of the container configured such that the outlet spigot intersects the side of the container at a point above point where sediments accumulate during use of the device.
