Beverage making device and a system for making a beverage

A beverage making device, comprising:

• a container,
• a plunger assembly comprising:
• a filter,
• the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
• a first magnetic arrangement
• a second magnetic arrangement
• wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement;
• wherein the second magnetic arrangement comprises one or more magnets;
• wherein the second magnetic arrangement comprises a base of the container being formed of a ferrous material or the base of the container including a ferrous material sheet attached to the base;
• wherein the one or more magnets of the first magnetic arrangement are of opposing polarity to the one or more magnets of the second magnetic arrangement;
• wherein the first magnetic arrangement comprising one or more disc shaped magnets disposed on a base plate and/or a top plate, the second magnetic arrangement comprising one or more disc shaped magnets disposed on the base of the container,
• wherein the one or more disc shaped magnets of the first magnetic arrangement and the one or more disc shaped magnets of the second magnetic arrangement are arranged such that the one or more disc shaped magnets of the first magnetic arrangement and the one or more disc shaped magnets of the second magnetic arrangement substantially align and exert a magnetic attraction when the plunger assembly is in a depressed position;
• wherein the base plate comprises a body, a recess formed on a upper surface of the body, the recess dimensioned to receive the filter and the top plate, and
• wherein when the plunger is moved to a depressed position, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic attraction and the second magnetic attraction causing the top plate and filter to be urged into the recess, the magnetic attraction further retaining the base plate in a depressed position and the top plate and filter in the recess to isolate particulates collected beneath the base plate and the beverage within the container.

A beverage making device comprising:

• a container and a lid being coupleable to the container,
• a plunger assembly comprising:
• a filter and a top plate,
• the plunger assembly being moveable between a depressed position and an undepressed position,
• a first magnetic arrangement
• a second magnetic arrangement, wherein the second magnetic arrangement is disposed on or within the lid,
• wherein the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement retain the plunger assembly in the depressed position due to attraction forces between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement;
• wherein the plunger assembly is retained in a depressed position due to attraction between the first magnetic arrangement and the second magnetic arrangement such that the top plate is retained on the lid due to the magnetic attraction.
