Abstract
A liquid brewing device includes a base housing a motor and at least one base magnet rotatable by the motor relative to the base, a pitcher having an interior volume, and a brew basket for receiving brewing ingredients, the brew basket being removably insertable positioned in the interior volume of the pitcher. An agitator is positioned entirely within and rotatable relative to the brew basket, the agitator being operatively coupled to at least one agitator magnet. The at least one agitator magnet is magnetically coupled to the at least one base magnet, such that rotation of the at least one base magnet by the motor operates to rotate the at least one agitator magnet and the agitator.
Claims19
A liquid brewing device comprising:
- a base housing a motor and at least one base magnet rotatable by the motor relative to the base;
- a pitcher having an interior volume;
