Apparatus for brewing a beverage

摘要

Shown is an apparatus for brewing a beverage, such as coffee, as well as associated methods for brewing a beverage. Apparatuses and methods are included to reduce labor involved in pour-over brewing techniques, while providing greater consistency in the results. Manual and/or automatic movements are provided to a filter (e.g., rotation) and/or a nozzle dispensing liquid over the filter. Water dosage and timing therefore can be automated to the filter. The nozzle can be positioned off-center with respect to the filter to ensure wetting thereof. The nozzle can be made movable for constrained changes to the path of liquid flow relative to the rotating filter.

主权项

1. A beverage brewing apparatus, comprising:
a body; a support member engaged with the body, the support member comprising a filter holder engagement portion configured to engage with a filter holder and an aperture to allow fluid to flow through a portion of the support member to a container; a nozzle configured to deliver a fluid over the position of any filter holder engaged with the filter holder engagement portion, wherein the support member further comprises a movable element configured such that the filter holder engagement portion can move with respect to the nozzle; and a valve in at least one of the support member and the filter holder, the valve configured to selectively restrict flow through and allow flow from the filter holder.
