Apparatus and method to make freshly brewed coffee

A method to make fresh brewed coffee, comprising the steps of

• (a) providing a folded stand including
• (i) a first upper spine member including a first front including a primary inset having a primary inset surface, a first back, a first bottom including a first contact surface, a first top including a first inset contact surface and a first pair of spaced apart arms extending outwardly from said first inset contact surface,
• (ii) a second lower spine member including a second front including a secondary inset having a secondary inset surface, a second back, a second bottom including a second contact surface, a second top including a second inset contact surface and a second pair of spaced apart arms extending outwardly from said second inset contact surface
• said first and second spine members in a first operative stowed position with said first upper spine member in registration with said second lower spine member such that said primary and secondary surfaces face each other,
• (iii) a connecting structure to permit said first and second spine members to move from said first operative stowed position to a second operative deployed position with said first upper spine member above said second upper spine member such that
• said first and second contact surfaces touch,
• said first and second spine members lie in a common vertical plane, and
• said first spine member is positioned above said second spine member,
• (Iv) foot seated in a primary operative position in said secondary inset and including
• an upper surface,
• a lower surface adjacent said secondary inset surface, and
• a bottom extending between said second pair of spaced apart arms,
• (v) at least a first pivot connecting said bottom of said foot and said second pair of spaced apart arms such that said foot can pivot from said primary operative position through an angle greater than two hundred degrees to a secondary operative position in which
• said upper surface of said foot contacts said second inset contact surface, and
• said foot extends outwardly away from said second back,
• (vi) a filter support arm seated in a principal operative position in said primary inset and including
• an upper surface,
• a lower surface adjacent said primary inset surface,
• a bottom extending between said first pair of spaced apart arms, and
• an aperture formed through said filter support arm and extending from said upper surface to said lower surface,
• (v) at least a second pivot connecting said bottom of said filter support arm and said first pair of spaced apart arms such that said filter support arm can pivot from said principal operative position through an angle greater than two hundred degrees to a supplementary operative position in which
• said upper surface of said filter support arm contacts said first inset contact surface,
• said filter support arm extends outwardly away from said first back, and
• said filter support arm extends over, opposes, and is spaced apart from said foot;
• (b) manually unfolding said stand by
• (i) moving said first and second spine members from said first operative stowed position to said second operative deployed position,
• (ii) pivoting said foot through an angle greater than two hundred degrees from said primary operative position to said secondary operative position,
• (iii) pivoting said filter support arm through an angle greater than two hundred degrees from said principal operative position to said supplementary operative position;
• (c) placing a cup on said upper surface of said foot beneath said aperture;
• (d) placing a coffee filter in said aperture above said cup;
• (e) placing coffee grounds in said coffee filter;
• and,
• (f) pouring water onto said coffee grounds to percolate through said coffee grounds and into said cup and produce freshly brewed coffee.
