20120328750 | DEVICE FOR REMOVING THE SPENT FLAVOR BASE FROM A FRENCH PRESS BEVERAGE BREWING APPARATUS AFTER USE - The device, known as an extraction basket, sits at the bottom of the brewing apparatus' brewing chamber. The basket is inserted into the chamber prior to the addition of the flavor base and water to the chamber. The basket is depressed to the bottom of the chamber. The flavor base is then added to the chamber along with hot water, following the French press process of brewing. With a standard French press brewing apparatus, once the flavor base and hot water is added, a filtration piston is then inserted into the brewing chamber. After the allotted brewing time has passed, the filtration piston is depressed into the chamber. This pushes the spent flavor base to the bottom of the chamber, filtering the brewed beverage from the solid flavor base. As the solid flavor base is pushed to the bottom, the spent flavor base is compacted in the extraction basket which is located at the bottom of the brewing chamber. Once the brewed beverage has been removed the filtration piston is removed from the chamber leaving the spent flavor base compacted into the extraction basket. The user then reaches into the chamber lifts the handle on the extraction basket quickly and neatly removes the basket and the spent flavor base in one efficient motion. The spent flavor base can now be discarded properly without effort or mess. | 12-27-2012 |
