Definitions

  • the described subject matter relates generally to means for preparing beverages, more particularly, it relates to an infusion arrangement for preparing a single cup of coffee, tea or the like.
  • the commercial background of the invention is to give the hot beverage market a one cup solution where one only need hot water or other type of liquid such as milk or alike, to brew a hot beverage.
  • the idea is also to give the customer a possibility to choose the type of beverage they want with the base of only using hot water or alike without investing in brewing machines.
  • the technical background is based on the "presso" brewing technology, or plunge pot brewing as it also is referred to, where the coffee, tea or alike is blended with hot water and is separated from the liquid with a filter or a mesh that is pressed down in a drinking container.
  • the "Presso” (or plunger pot) technique is providing the best tasting coffee according to many connoisseurs.
  • the plunger pot normally consists of a carafe or pitcher, with a manual piston-like assembly inside.
  • the bottom part of the 'plunger' is a fine mesh, either metal or plastic.
  • the plunger pot beverage container is also normally made as a system, not for one time use, and can therefore not be economic in a one cup solution.
  • the problems with other one-cup solutions is that one have to remove a part of the brewing device, before one can drink the beverage, and also that one have to wait up to three minutes before it is brewed, and one can move around with the beverage. These methods are normally using other brewing techniques than the plunger pot technique.
  • the advantages with present invention are that you can offer a beverage of any taste without any machines; also you can get a beverage of high quality when you only have access to boiling water or other hot liquids such as milk or the like.
  • One object of the described subject matter is to provide a disposable brewing device, for brewing coffee, tea or the like in a single beverage container, which is simple and easy to use and yet able to create coffee or tea according to, or resembling, the "Presso"-technique .
  • a further object of this invention is to provide such a brewing device which will maintain hot water in contact with coffee grounds or tea leaves in the filter, in such way that the produced coffee or tea will present a better brew characteristic and less sediment than known prior-art and also a produced coffee or tea that has a better heat preservation than prior art solutions.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a disposable infusion means for infusing a beverage in a single beverage container (300) comprising a brewing means
  • first, upper, portion (200) of the brewing means (100) comprising of a plurality of perforations (104) for allowing hot liquid to flow downwards, the first, upper, portion (200) further comprising of a at least one outer flexible, foldable, set of circumferential wings (101) and a second, lower, portion comprising of a water permeable infusion bag (201), wherein the second portion being attached to the first portion of said brewing means (100)
  • FIG.l shows a top view of the device to be placed in a beverage container.
  • FIG.2 shows the side view of the same bag device, illustrating the filter bag being attached on the bottom side of the plunger device
  • FIG.3 is a perspective view of the cup and infusion device assembly.
  • FIG.5 shows a perspective view of the cup and infusion device assembly when in use.
  • FIG.6 shows a perspective view of the cup and infusion device assembly when the brewing procedure is finished.
  • the general idea with this invention is to provide a simple and yet easy to use one-cup solution for brewing coffee, tea or the like based on the "Presso" technique but modified for one-cup solutions.
  • the normal plunger pot works by steeping coarsely ground coffee in hot water. It is very important to mention how hot the water should be. Coffee, an organic substance, can be easily burnt if given the proper conditions. Therefore, when using this method of coffee brewing, bring water up to a slow boil and then down again. Water boils at 100 degrees C and water 5 degrees below boiling will work well. Pour the heated water over the grounds and let it sit for roughly four minutes. The final step displays the origins of the name "plunger pot.” When ready, slowly depressing the plunger will release and filter the beverage. The coffee has been made and is now ready to be served.
  • Some presses are insulated; these work well for keeping the coffee hot during the steeping process. However, contrary to the manufacturers' instructions, one should pour off the coffee when it is ready and not keep in the brewing vessel, else it will continue to steep and become bitter and over-extracted.
  • the plunger pot has its invariable advantages. First most, coffee made with this method is richer as it contains more oils from the grounds.
  • a plunger pot consists, normally, mainly of two parts: a beaker-shaped container, carafe or pitcher made out of glass, metal, or plastic, and a plunger, which is a multi- piece wire-mesh filter assembly attached perpendicularly to a metal rod.
  • the basic concept of present invention is however to introduce a one-cup solution based on "Presso"-technique by sealing coffee, tea or other solid brewing material in a filter bag (201) which is a water permeable infusion bag of suitable type, with a surface of practically the same size as the container where the liquid is brewed.
  • the brewing means (100) presented comprises mainly of three parts, an infusion bag or filter bag (201), a plunger device (200) and an actuating stick (400)
  • the filter bag (201) is attached to a so called plunger device (200), that is used, both for securing that said filter bag (201) is hanging stable below the plunger device (200) and inside the drinking container (300) when hot water or other hot liquid is poured into the drinking container (300) by means of engaging an outer set of flexible, foldable circumferential wings (101) with a notch
  • the brewing means (100) When the brewing process is finished, the brewing means (100) is pushed down and locked in the bottom of the drinking container (300), by means of engaging the inner set of flexible, foldable circumferential wings (102) with a notch (302,303,304) placed in the lower part of the drinking container (300), and therefore the brewing means (100) does not have to be removed afterwards.
  • the plunger device (200) is fitted with two set of wings (101, 102) on the outer, upper rim of the plunger device (200) and these wings (101, 102) are divided in two sections in order to give a correct angle when the brewing means (100) is pushed downwards into a conical drinking container (300) and the function of the top horizontal wings (101) is to control that the brewing means (100) stay in the centre when pushed downwards, and also to make sure that the brewing means (100) does not pop up when the liquid is brewed and when the brewing means (100) is pressed down.
  • the plunger device (200) will engage and lock in a notch (301) at the top of the drinking container (300) and remain stable during the brewing. There are also several notches (302, 303, 304) at the bottom of the drinking container (300) to make sure that the plunger device (200) will be locked, when it is pressed down.
  • the outer set of wings (102) is attached to the ring of the plunger device in such a way so that they will bend easily when pressed down .
  • the plunger device (200) is also fitted with a set of flexible, vertical guidance wings (103) which are mounted on the outside of the upper, portion of the plunger device (200) .
  • a stand-off grid (202) with a circular shape further comprising an X-shaped slit (105) that will receive and hold the end of a stick (400) that is used to press the plunger device (200) down.
  • the stick (400) fits loose in the circular shape and has typically an x-profile (401) that will help to press the brewing device (100) straight down, without making the plunger device (200) to turn around.
  • the filter bag (201) is made as big as possible, in order to create a surface that is so big that it will create practically no pressure when the water is pressed out of the filter bag (201) when pushing the stick (400) down in the drinking container (300) to stop the brewing process .
  • the top of the filter bag (201) is made of a net or mesh that will let the water pass freely and blend up with the tea, coffee or other solid beverage material quickly.
  • the structure of the net or mesh is denser to prevent that there will not come residue material into the beverage.
  • the drinking container (300) described and used in the above embodiments is preferably made in a biodegradable or recyclable material due to environmental issues and it is also preferably made in a conical shape, due to logistic reasons; i.e. it is more efficient to stack conical containers on top of each others, hence securing that a more cost efficient transport can take place.
