MICROWAVE COFFEE AND ESPRESSO BEVERAGES MAKER

摘要

A funnel (10) positioned on the upper surface of a filter compartment (42) is supported on the upper edge (32) of a microwave-transparent plastic water reservoir (4) with a spout (44) extending downwardly into the water reservoir (4). A lower filter (20) is placed into the filter compartment (42), and coffee grounds or other espresso particulate substance is placed on upper surface of the lower filter (20). An upper filter (22) is then positioned on the upper surface of the filter compartment (42) to restrain the coffee grounds or other particular substance during brewing. A filtrate reservoir (12) with a splash cover (18) is placed over the funnel (10), and twisted, thereby engaging threads to join the water reservoir (4) and the filtrate reservoir (12). The assembled coffee or espresso device (2) is placed into a microwave oven. The filtrate reservoir (12) is shielded at least partially from the microwave radiation to control the overheating of the brewed coffee or espresso.
