BREWING COFFEE WITH A PRECISE NATURALLY-OCCURRING CAFFEINE CONTENT
Coffee having a precisely calculated caffeine content is created by brewing a caffeinated and decaffeinated portion of coffee. The caffeine levels of the caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may be precisely measured using scientific, industrial, or electronic equipment. Moreover, a target caffeine level is determined. A proportion between the caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may be determined to obtain the target caffeine level. The caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may be blended according to the proportion to obtain coffee having the target caffeine level.

Compartment Technology for Lids of Beverage Container
A mug cap apparatus comprises a mug cap and a mug. The mug cap comprises a base cylindrical body having a hollow opening in the center. The base cylindrical body has a narrow portion and a wide portion. A sealer ring seals the base cylindrical body to the mug. The wider portion engages the rim of the mug and the narrow portion engages the inner perimeter portion of the mug. The hollow opening has threads to engage a compartment's cylindrical body. The compartment's cylindrical body has an outer perimeter that has threads to engage the threads of the base cylindrical body, and an inner compartment. A lid engages said compartment cylindrical body and seals said inner compartment when said lid is in its closed configuration.
INSULATING AND COOLING LIQUID CONTAINER
A cooling system and method for a fluid container enabling a user to switch between an insulating mode that will keep liquid in the mug hot for hours, and a cooling mode to reduce the beverage temperature quickly when the user is ready to drink. In embodiments of the invention the fluid container is a travel mug with an integrated cooling system. In an embodiment a beverage container may include a compartment to hold a consumable liquid, a cooling mechanism for reducing the temperature of the liquid before consumption, and an insulating space located between the compartment and cooling mechanism, which insulating space may be variable. In an embodiment, a pump may be attached to the exterior of a beverage container in which a bellows or piston may enhance vacuum pressure in the container. In an embodiment, a brewing basket for a beverage container may expand in volume to put brewing ingredients and liquid in contact for brewing, or contract in volume to separate brewing ingredients from the liquid, and be responsive to an external control.
Coffee and Liquid Container with Concealed Mini-Cup Compartment
The coffee mug or drink container has an internal multi-cup compartment. A thermally insulated container (liquid containment store) has a lid with drink spout(s) (if the drink container is not a bottle). The special container has an internal dry store for two or more cups placed in a storage compartment beneath the bottom of the container. Identically shaped cups nest together (stacked) in the dry store on a nested cup support with a complementary surface to limit vertical and horizontal jostling and cup damage. Sometimes the cups are frusto-conically shaped or are matching convex/concaved shaped. An added secondary storage container is included for coffee or drink additives.

Combined vessel lid and tea bag receptacle and method of using
A tableware tea piece (10, 11, 12) intended to be used in conjunction with a drinking cup (60, 6) or teapot (63) vessel (60), includes first and second principal surfaces (1) and a well (8) defined by the second surface (1, 2, 95). It further includes a perimeter recess (40), and is configured and arranged (2) to be placed to act as a lid on a vessel (60) containing hot water (90) with the first surface (1, 2, 95) uppermost without slipping sideways off the vessel (60) and forming an aperture in side (1, 2) the rim (62) of the vessel (60). The tea piece (10, 11, 12) may be inverted and placed on a horizontal surface (1, 2, 95) with the second principal surface (1, 2, 95) uppermost and the first principal surface (1, 2, 95) supporting the piece (10) after inversion, to act as a receptacle for a used tea bag (80, 84), such that tea (89) which emanates from the used tea bag (80, 84) is contained on the second principal surface (1, 2, 95) within the well (8) and does not spill onto the horizontal surface (1, 2, 95).
LIQUID HANDLING VESSEL
The present disclosure describes a liquid handling vessel including a bottom surface; and a side wall protruding from the bottom surface, the side wall comprising one or more grooves located on an outer surface of the side wall, wherein the one or more grooves are configured for liquid storage.
Beverage Brewing Device
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of tea brewing devices, and more particularly, to a beverage brewing device. The beverage brewing device comprises a kettle body, a heating disc, and a tea-leaf basket. The heating disc and the tea-leaf basket are located in the kettle body and an air cylinder mechanism is fixed in the kettle body. A moving piston is arranged in an inner cavity of the air cylinder mechanism, and the piston is connected to the tea-leaf basket. The air cylinder mechanism is connected to an air pump, which is used for conveying a driving gas to the air cylinder mechanism. The piston is driven by the driving gas, thereby driving the tea-leaf basket to move in the kettle body. The air cylinder mechanism may automatically drive the tea-leaf basket to move up and down, achieving a simple structure and a low cost.
