The second flange is shaped and configured to align the lid relative to the housing.

A saturated aqueous solution of caffeine extract (organic/synthetic) is applied to the filtering apparatus (paper coffee/espresso filter, Keurig cup filter, tea bag, or perforated mesh filter of the like) to achieve the desired and appropriate* level of caffeine infusion upon the preferred filtering device. The filtering mechanism is subsequently dried, packaged, and distributed as a means of providing a safe and controlled level of caffeine delivery to such beverages as coffee, tea, or caffeinated beverages of the like. The caffeine infused filter serves to transfer the water soluble caffeine additive to the consumer's preferred beverage by way of the desired preparation method (decoction, gravitational feed, pressurized percolation, drip, steeping, or methodology of the like).

*Appropriate, as described above, refers to a recommended dosage of infused caffeine product as suggested by the manufacturer of the caffeine supplement. In addition, the concentration of caffeine obtained from the coffee seed, tea, herbal substance, or caffeinated material of the like is considered to achieve a safe, controlled, and desirable concentration of caffeine transfer to the preferred beverage.

A filter cleaning apparatus has a top section and a base section. The top section rests on a housing support. A lid in the top section is connected to the top section by a hinge. Internally, there is a threaded rod supporting a cone and a positioning nut. The positioning nut is used to secure the position of the cone. When a filter is to be placed in the apparatus, the position of the cone is adjusted with the positioning nut. A filter is then placed thereon and the lid closed. A locking mechanism secured the lid in place. A textured disk is positioned on the underside of the lid. When a crank handle on top of the lid is turned, the textured disk is turned thereby turning the filter resting on the cone. As the filter turns, cleaning mechanisms remove debris which pass through openings for removal.

A beverage extracting device including a vessel for receiving and mixing a powder material and hot liquid, a filter beneath the vessel, a gas pump that connects through a duct to the vessel for supplying pressurized gas into the vessel, and an outlet for extracted liquid at an outlet side of the filter which is opposite to the vessel, wherein the outlet connects to an outlet duct for the extracted liquid, wherein the duct for supplying pressurized gas into the vessel connects to a channel or channels within the vessel having outflow openings at a lower rim of the vessel to release gas into the vessel and stir the mixture inside the vessel from below in an upwards direction.

An automatic coffee brewing device includes an electronic control mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a coffee filter paper installation mechanism, a coffee powder feeding mechanism, a brewing mechanism, a coffee holding mechanism, and a filter cup processing mechanism, and all are integrated on a support mechanism. The coffee brewing procedure is set via the electronic control mechanism, and the container is placed in the coffee holding mechanism. The rotating mechanism drives the filter cup movement, allowing the coffee filter paper installation mechanism to place filter paper in the filter cup, and the coffee powder feeding mechanism fills coffee grounds into the filter paper. The brewing mechanism then adds water to brew the coffee grounds, allowing the coffee liquid to be collected in the container. Subsequently, the filter cup processing mechanism cleans the used filter cup, thereby achieving the effects of labor savings, maintaining brewing quality, and improving brewing capacity.

A portable assembly for making beverages comprising: a beverage filter press, a tumbler configured to receive the beverage filter press securely therein, and a lid configured to securely attach to the tumbler for travel use. The beverage filter press can include features, such as tabs, which engage an underside of the lid to secure the assembly together by a friction-fit. The portable assembly can further include a collapsible stirrer and a magnetic lid. The lid can include a movable tab including a first magnet, and a body including a second magnet, a third magnet, and an opening. The first magnet is configured to couple to the second magnet to maintain the movable tab in a closed position, and the first magnet configured to couple to the third magnet to maintain the movable tab in an open position.

A beverage cap with pressure-activated valve for use with filter presses having a hollow cylinder and removable piston that when pressed forces liquid through the cylinder and beverage cap into an open vessel. Such presses are particularly suited for coffee beverages, especially espresso. The beverage cap includes multiple protrusions that are discontinuous and distributed to improve filter support and distribute pressure more uniformly through the cavity and along the filter, thereby allowing use of thin paper filters and avoiding tearing or blow out. The beverage cap can include a removable valve insert that includes a valve body supporting a movable vale and support members that support the filter at a central valve region, further reinforcing the filter to avoid blow out of paper filters. The beverage cap can include a gasket to enhance air-tight sealing with the cylinder and can include multiple valves for use with oversized presses.
