Claims

1. A disposable drip beverage comprising of: a die-cut and die-scored paper card forming a conical accordion suspension, containing a biodegradable porous beverage filter attached by sewn organic thread to a die cut chipboard tag; said filter is constructed and arranged to sit atop a single beverage cup or vase; wherein the beverage filter is a disposable conical filter which when deployed forms a conically shaped vessel that meets exacting brewing standards, wherein the die scoring comprises a pair on each side of a wing device that is used to temporarily suspend the brew filter over the vessel into which the brewed beverage will flow, with each side of die cut wings extending outward from opposite sides of the vessel to provide the support for the brewing vessel on top of the recipient post-brewed content holder. And wherein where the die cut chipboard tag is a fixed to the porous beverage brewing device by machine stitching to create a completely biodegradable and recycle able vessel.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the filter comprises filter paper pre-soaked in flavor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] Edo Cup 2.0:cup, open, suspended, accordion type, paper and die cut chipboard, single cup, fillable beverage disposable filter.

[0020] Specifically from FIGS. 1 through 7, a disposable drip coffee beverage (or otherwise) device, comprising a die-cut and die-scored chipboard card tag forming a conical accordion suspension device consisting of a porous beverage filter adhered to a chipboard support.

[0021] The combination of the two elements sewn together provide a construct where a completely biodegradable vessel is arranged to sit atop a single beverage cup or flask. The resulting constructed beverage filter is a disposable conical filter which when deployed forms a conically shaped vessel that meets exacting brewing standards.

[0022] The die cut comprises of a pair of wings on each side of the folded brew filter, and the scoring comprises a pair of straight crease scores, which extend inwardly from opposite sides enabling the deployed brew filter to stay in its deployed mode.

[0023] The paper portion of the brew filter is made of filter paper that can be pre-soaked with a flavoring or can enclose one or more flavorants. The chipboard tag portion of the disposable drip beverage device may display on its sides: corporate logos; up to and including religious symbols; sayings; and holiday messages. Filter may enclose flavors (in the filter paper) or be pre-soaked in flavors prior to packaging for sale. FIGS. 1 and 4 show the Edo Cup 2.0 and its construction, FIGS. 5 through 7 show the functionality from the deployment process in 4 to its fully deployed state in FIG. 7 where the filter is then placed on the vessel to receive the beverage, wings attached as vessel supports.

[0024] Beverage elements such as fresh ground coffee are then added to the vessel; boiling water is then poured on top of the elements to create the beverage. At the conclusion of the brew process the brew elements such as coffee grounds are then discarded along with the used filter paper in a biodegradable products receptor as every element from the chipboard to the paper to the organically grown thread used to sew the cup are all fully biodegradable.

[0025] The invention known as the Edo Cup 2.0 is an invention in the USPTO Category of Class 99 beverage devices.

[0026] The invention known as the Edo Cup 2.0 is another device that solves the problem encountered in brewing fresh ground coffee in a disposable filter without using any non-disposable device as an assistant. See: U.S. Pat. No. 7,235,272, Saltoh et al. FIG. 7 shows the Edo Cup suspended, ready to be filled by coffee grounds or tea and then hot or cold water.
