The invention requires that an ultrasonic resonator (7) is able to transmit ultrasonic signals through a French Press's container wall (5) and into the liquid contained within the French Press (20), The French Press's container wall can be made from any D suitable material, including but not limited to Pyrex glass, plastics, and metals. A working configuration can be achieved as shown in Figure 2 by applying an adhesive material (14) between the resonator (7) and the French. Press's container wall (5), In Figure 3, the resonator (7) is attached to the resonator housing (6) and coupled to the container (5) via a coupling material or mechanism.
The base (9) shown in Figure 1 serves multiple purposes including to protect electrical components contained within the base, and to provide a stable base for the French Press to be rested on a table top. Figure 2 shows a French Press container (5) made of stainless steel with a resonator (7) attached using adhesive (14) directly to the underside of the container (5), This configuration uses a fixed base (9) connected to the French Press via a flexible vibration isolator ($). The base houses the resonator's electrical driver components, The resonator (7) is powered by an electrical circuit (10) supplying a 30 Watt, 28 K¾ drive signal for 20 seconds which is activated by a user pressing an activator switch button (1 1). The 20 second ultrasonic signal may be applied repeatedly by the user pressing the same button (11). It has been observed, however that repeated application of 20 second drive signals into th same brew only extracts a: relatively smaller amount of additional flavours and caffeine compared to the first 20 second application.
In embodiments where the base is to be detachable from the French Press* as shown in Figure 3, the resonator housin (6) provides a coupling medium or mechanism to enable transmission of ultrasonic energy from the resonator (7) to the French Press container (5), A coupling medium can be a fluid, gel or other incompressible material placed on top of the resonator housing.
A coupling mechanism can be a fastener or clamping device, Figure 3 shows a configuration utilising a remote electronics module ( 3) connected to the base via an electronic cable (12)* and utilising a base which is detachable between the resonator housing (6) and the French Press container (5), The resonator is driven by m electrical circuit supplying a 60 Watt* 28 KHz drive signal for 30 seconds per brew. Both the drive signal's power, frequency and duration can be varied to best suit the size of the French Press attd the beverage consumer's taste. The duration for optimum extraction is between 15 and 29 seconds. The French Press container is made of brittle plastic. Coupling between the resonator (7) and the French Press container (5) i s achieved by gluing the resonator to the underside of the resonator housing's (6) middle thin metal layer, on top of which is a 2mm to 5mm layer of water,
The effect of Oltraso»ic mechanical energy oscillating at typically 2SKHz creates optimum cavitation on the g#$ce of coffee grounds. Cavitation can be thought of as a tnieroscopic and very strong vacuum effect occurring on the surface between a solid and a liquid, resulting in the effective separation of surface molecules. Cavitation is very efficient at extracting flavonoids and caffeine from coffee grounds. The result is thai more flavour and caffeine is extracted from a coffee beverage than would otherwise be extracted from a French Press without the use of ultrasonics.
Whilst the above description includes the preferred embodiments of the invention, it. is to be understood that many variations, alterations, modifications and or additions may be introduced into the constructions and arrangements of parts previously described without departing from the essential features or the spirit or ambi of the invention. For example the container in which the brewing extraction takes place need not be a French Press. It can be a container having no filter which can be depressed. In such embodiments a heating wand ma be inserted into the liquid from above in order to heat up the liquid or maintain its elevated temperature. It will be also understood that where the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and Comprising'*, are used in this specification, unless the contest requires otherwise such use is intended to imply the inclusion of a stated feature or features hut. is not to be taken as exeiuding the presence of other feature or features.
The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that such prior art forms part" of the common general knowledge in Australia.
