Abstract
A coffee making system includes a multi-use filter body. The filter body includes a base, a top portion, and a sidewall connecting the base and the top portion, the sidewall at least partially including filter material. The filter material is adapted to allow the passage of liquid and prevent the passage of coffee grounds. The filter body is selectively useable in an inverted position as a filter in a press coffee making mode of operation and selectively useable in an upright position in a pour-over coffee making mode of operation. In another version, the filter body and a transverse filter body combine to form a dual filter arrangement that can be used in a press coffee maker and/or to make an infused beverage.

A coffee making system comprising:
- a filter body, the filter body comprising a base, a top portion, and a sidewall connecting the base and the top portion, the sidewall at least partially including filter material, the filter material being adapted to allow passage of liquid and prevent passage of coffee grounds,
- a rod releasably connectable to the base of the filter body;
- a container;
- and
- a container cover member, the container cover member having an opening,
- wherein the filter body is selectively useable in a press coffee making mode of operation and in a pour-over mode of operation, wherein in the press coffee making mode of operation, the filter body is in an inverted position, the rod is connected to the base of the filter body, and the rod extends through the opening in the container cover member, and wherein in the pour-over mode of operation, the filter body is useable in an upright position with the base of the filter body received in the opening in the container cover member.
A method of making multiple styles of coffee, the method comprising:
- providing a filter body, the filter body comprising a base, a top portion, and a sidewall connecting the base and the top portion, wherein the sidewall includes filter material, the filter material being adapted to allow the passage of liquid and prevent the passage of coffee grounds;

A coffee making system comprising:
- a filter body, the filter body comprising a base, a top portion, and a sidewall connecting the base and the top portion, the sidewall at least partially including filter material, the filter material being adapted to allow the passage of liquid and prevent the passage of coffee grounds,
- a rod releasably connectable to the base of the filter body;
- a container;
- a press coffee cover member, the press coffee cover member having an opening sized to receive the rod;
- and
- a pour-over cover member separate from the press coffee cover member, the pour-over cover member having an opening sized to receive a portion of the base of the filter body,
- wherein the filter body is selectively useable in a press coffee making mode of operation and in a pour-over mode of operation, wherein in the press coffee making mode of operation, the press coffee cover member is positionable over the container, the filter body is in an inverted position, the rod is connected to the base of the filter body, and the rod extends through the opening in the press coffee container cover member, and wherein in the pour-over mode of operation, the pour-over cover member is positionable over the container, the filter body is in an upright position, and the base of the filter body received in the opening in the pour-over cover member.
