According to a coffee maker of the present invention, the multi-joint linkage of a drive mechanism is alternately arranged three-dimensionally in a front-back direction, and thus stronger pressing force may be applied and the pressing force may be uniformly transferred to both sides of the pressing portion. When a user simultaneously presses the drive mechanism with his or her both hands, the pressing force applied by the right drive mechanism and the pressing force applied by the left drive mechanism may be uniformly transferred to the pressing portion without loss, and thus the availability of the pressing force may be increased. The coffee maker according to the present invention is robust, has desirable durability, and may be aesthetically decorated with metal and transparent plastic materials.

A cold brew coffee extraction device includes a container having a first chamber for receiving cold water. A filtering cup is mounted in the first chamber and includes a second chamber intercommunicating with the first chamber. The second chamber receives coffee powders and includes a second opening. The filtering cup further includes a third opening at a lower end thereof and receiving a filter. A first guiding tube includes a first end intercommunicating with the second chamber and a second end located outside of the container. A pump is disposed outside of the container and is connected to the second end of the first guiding tube. A controller is electrically connected to the pump to control operation of the pump to thereby supply air into or suck air out of the first guiding tube, thereby controlling a water level of the cold water in the first chamber.

A portable beverage press mug is includes a vessel and a press head assembly. The press head assembly includes a screen (or filter) and a valve arrangement covering the screen. The valve arrangement is movable in response to fluid pressure to create a gap between the valve arrangement and the frame and permit fluid to pass through the screen and the gap.

A filtration container assembly generally includes an outer container having a first end and a second end and defining an inner cavity, and a plunging assembly configured to be received within the outer container inner cavity, wherein the plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve having a first end and a second end and an outer wall defining an inner bore, wherein the outer wall is continuous from the first end to the second end, and a filtration assembly coupled to the inner sleeve at the second end.

A brewing device includes a base portion with a support surface. A carafe is configured to be selectively supported on the support surface. A filter basket is removeably supported on an upper portion of the carafe. An immersion chamber is fluidically coupled to an outlet disposed over the filter basket. A water reservoir is fluidically coupled to both the immersion chamber and the outlet disposed over the filter basket. A pump is in fluid communication with the water reservoir and operable to selectively advance water to one of the outlet disposed over the filter basket and the immersion chamber from the water reservoir. The brewing device is configured to brew a beverage using a pour-over brewing method, an immersion brewing method, or a filtered immersion brewing method.

A beverage brewing device is configured to brew beverages such as coffee and tea. A brewing canister having a filter at a bottom end is held partially within a receiving beaker, and a seal is created between the canister outer surface and the beaker inner surface. Brewing media such as coffee grounds and brewing fluid such as hot water are added to the canister, mixed, and allowed to brew. At a desired time, the receiving beaker is moved relative to the brewing canister so that the brewing canister is partially removed from the receiving beaker. As such, a vacuum is formed between the bottom end of the brewing canister and the receiving beaker. The filter stops brewing media from flowing into the receiving beaker, but the vacuum draws the brewed beverage through the brewing media and filter and into the receiving beaker.
