According to present invention, a basket for brewing coffee is disclosed. The basket includes a bottom wall, at least one side wall and a lid that define a cavity intended to receive an amount of ground coffee. The basket includes a plurality of openings that are sized to permit water to pass therethrough but to retain ground coffee in the cavity. The basket includes a baffle that includes at least one wall that extends generally radially between the side wall of the basket and a central portion of the cavity, the baffle wall being attached to at least one of the bottom wall, the side wall and the lid. The baffle ensures that the coffee grounds and water are sufficiently agitated during the brewing process.

The invention concerns a beverage preparation device (10), said device comprising:—a chamber (1) for receiving and agitating a liquid, said chamber comprising an opened top (11), an opened bottom (12) and a lateral side wall (13), said chamber presenting the shape of a solid of revolution, the axis of revolution (XX′) being oriented between the top and the bottom of the chamber, —a rotating unit (2) for spinning the chamber (1) around its axis of revolution (XX′), and wherein the chamber presents a shape such that when the chamber is spinning, liquid present in the chamber forms a ring of liquid along the lateral side wall (13) of the chamber above the opened bottom (12).

An improved French coffee press apparatus, system, and method that utilizes a locking ring to engage with a locking base that can be removed from the carafe, along with any coffee grounds. The locking ring is connected to the pressing rod, which also includes a filter system above the locking ring. The pressing rod fits through an opening in the carafe lid, and the carafe lid secures the liquid inside the carafe. The combination of the filtering system assists in the filtering and capture of any coffee grounds into the locking base for cleaning, and the locking ring assists in the removal of the locking base.

A beverage brewing device reduces the time required to produce a cold-brewed beverage. The brewer includes a container and a brewing material holder configured to be suspended from a lid of the container. The brewing material holder includes at least a mesh panel and is configured to support and contain brewing material in the brewing material holder. The lid assembly includes a mechanism configured to rotate the brewing material holder with respect to the lid about an axis extending away from the lid. The container is filled with water and the brewing material holder is filled with brewing material and submerged in the water within the container. Movement of the brewing material submerged in water substantially reduces the time required for cold brewing.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for producing coffee, espresso for instance, with the capability to be modularly reconfigured for operation as a manual lever operated espresso machine, or alternatively configured as a spring lever operated espresso machine, preferably without the use of specialized tools or the removal or replacement of major components from operational use.

A first coffee brewing and dispensing system that includes a removable grounds chamber assembly that includes a basin for holding ground coffee, an extendable dispensing spout, and a valve mechanism for opening and closing the dispensing spout; a brewing chamber assembly positioned on top of the removable grounds chamber assembly; and a lid/plunger assembly adapted to be inserted into the brewing chamber and removable grounds chamber, wherein the lid/plunger assembly includes a press rod, a handle mounted on the press rod, wherein the handle includes a trigger mounted therein, a lid mounted on the press rod below the handle, a wiper assembly mounted on the press rod below the lid; and a filter assembly mounted on the press rod below the wiper assembly, wherein the wiper assembly may be moved independently of the filter assembly by actuating the trigger in the handle.

A system, method, and device for coffee grounds agitation is disclosed. The coffee grounds agitation device includes an agitating assembly extending into at least one brewing basket having a mesh. The agitating assembly includes a driver, and at least one agitator operatively coupled to the driver such that the driver impels the at least one agitator to move within the at least one brewing basket. The agitating assembly also includes a control circuit in electrical communication with the driver and configured to impel the at least one agitator with the driver. The agitating assembly is movable into, and out of, a brewing configuration. The brewing configuration includes the at least one agitator being substantially contained within the at least one brewing basket while also operatively engaged with the driver.

A device for brewing coffee and other infused beverages according to the French press method, which provides the ability to stir the coffee grounds during brewing and remove the spent coffee grounds from the brewing vessel after liquid extraction, using the same mechanism required to remove the filter press assembly, which features a solid surface which extends beneath the filter assembly on a vertical arm which is coaxial with the vertical arm of the filter, and both solid surface and filter arms are manipulatable at the top of the device, using a handle and fastening mechanism, which allows an integrated stirring mechanism located on the solid arm to be rotated, and then the filter to be fully pressed down, while both arms, and the connected lower solid surface and upper filter surface, are removable simultaneously from the vessel after liquid is removed, which cleans the brewing vessel of coffee grounds during the action of filter removal.
