PERMEABLE DISPOSABLE FILTER AND BEVERAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A disposable filter can replace a reusable filter in a reusable coffee filter. The disposable filter can be removed immediately after use and discarded without mess, making the single cup brewer available without delay for the next brew cycle. The disposable filter includes a basket portion having a collar, where the basket portion can fit into a reusable coffee filter holder and the collar can rest over a lip of the reusable coffee filter holder.
