Assembly for selectively aerating a beverage

An assembly for selectively aerating a beverage, the assembly comprising:

• a body portion defining a reservoir adapted to receive the beverage;
• a diverter in fluid communication with and operably coupled to the body portion, the diverter being movable between a first position, a second position, and a third position intermediate the first position and the second position;
• and
• an aerator in fluid communication with the diverter, the aerator including a central outlet and one or more aeration outlets,
• wherein the diverter comprises:
• one or more primary apertures in fluid communication with the central outlet and in selective fluid communication with the reservoir of the body portion;
• and
• one or more secondary apertures in fluid communication with the one or more aeration outlets and in selective fluid communication with the reservoir of the body portion,
• wherein when the diverter is in the first position, the one or more primary apertures are in fluid communication with the reservoir of the body portion such that the beverage flows through the reservoir, the one or more primary apertures, and the central outlet while bypassing the one or more aeration outlets,
• wherein when the diverter is in the second position, the one or more secondary apertures are in fluid communication with the reservoir of the body portion such that the beverage flows through the reservoir, the one or more secondary apertures, and the one or more aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet, and
• wherein when the diverter is in the third position, the one or more primary apertures and the one or more secondary apertures are both in fluid communication with the reservoir of the body portion such that a first portion of the beverage flows through the reservoir, the one or more primary apertures, and the central outlet while bypassing the one or more aeration outlets, and a second portion of the beverage flows through the reservoir, the one or more secondary apertures, and one or more aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet.

An assembly for selectively aerating a beverage, the assembly comprising:

• a body portion defining a reservoir adapted to receive the beverage, the body portion comprising a first body portion and a second body portion removably coupled to the first body portion;
• a disposable filter disposed between the first body portion and the second body portion, the disposable filter configured to remove impurities from the beverage as the beverage flows therethrough;
• a diverter in fluid communication with and operably coupled to the body portion, the diverter being movable between a first position, a second position, and a third position intermediate the first position and the second position;
• and
• an aerator in fluid communication with the diverter, the aerator including a central outlet and one or more aeration outlets,
• wherein when the diverter is in the first position, the diverter is aligned with the body portion such that the beverage flows through the reservoir of the body portion and the central outlet while bypassing the one or more aeration outlets,
• wherein when the diverter is in the second position, the diverter is aligned with the body portion such that the beverage flows through the reservoir of the body portion and the one or more aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet, and
• wherein when the diverter is in the third position, the diverter is aligned with the body portion such that the beverage flows through the reservoir of the body portion, a first portion of the beverage flows through the central outlet while bypassing the one or more aeration outlets, and a second portion of the beverage flows through the one or more aeration outlets while bypassing the central outlet.
