PORTABLE DEVICES FOR PREPARING AND TRANSPORTING BREWABLE BEVERAGES

摘要

Disclosed are methods, systems, and devices for portably brewing tea, coffee, or other beverages in a container that regulates the temperature and diffusion during and after brewing. For example, the present technology allows people to prepare and consume tea, coffee and other beverages while on the go. In some aspects, a portable brewing device includes a container having a specialized canister system in the interior of the container that encloses the beverage material and controls the diffusion of water in/out of the canister; an intelligent heating and cooling system to continuously regulate the temperature of water in the device; and a data processing unit in communication with the canister and heating and cooling systems to control operational features and store user-specialized settings for the device.

主权项

1. A brewing canister for a beverage brewing device, the brewing canister comprising:
a) an inner canister comprising at least one opening; b) an outer canister comprising at least one opening;
the inner canister positioned at least partially within the outer canister and having a common rotational axis with the outer canister to form a brewing chamber; the inner canister, the outer canister, or both rotatable such that the at least one opening of the inner canister and the at least one opening of the outer canister align in an open position or unalign in a closed position; and c) an actuator operable to rotate the inner canister, the outer canister, or both to modulate between the open position and the closed position, such that fluid located outside the brewing canister is able to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the open position and is unable to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the closed position;
the brewing canister operable to contain a brewing material in the brewing chamber and regulate fluid flow in and out of the brewing chamber to brew the brewing material.
