Abstract
An improved hand operated citrus press is provided in direct operational combination with a liquid drinking vessel. The citrus press is provided removably connected to, and in fluid communication with, the liquid drinking vessel. The fluid contained within the drinking vessel can be infused with the essences from the ground or comminuted fruit from the citrus press. The fluid communication between the comminuting volume of the citrus press grinder assembly and the container allows these all natural ingredients to steep directly with the beverage, creating refreshingly flavored drinks that are as rich and natural in nutrients as its ingredients.
Claims19
An essence extractor and liquid container comprising:
- a citrus press in combination with;
- a liquid drinking vessel;
- wherein said drinking vessel forms a leak proof, integrated storage and dispensing volume that is in fluid communication with comminuted foodstuffs and freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils discharged from said citrus press such that the direct, continuous blending of said comminuted foodstuffs and said freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils are mixed with the dispensing volume contained within said drinking vessel and dispensed therefrom in a manner adapted for drinking.
A method of blending freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils with a beverage liquid comprising:
- comminuting of foodstuffs for the extraction of edible and aromatic oils in an essence extractor that is removably connected to and in continuous fluid communication with a drinking vessel such that the continuous direct blending of said foodstuffs and freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils are mixed within a dispensing volume and dispensed therefrom in a manner adapted for drinking.
An essence extractor and liquid container for the extraction and infusion of edible and aromatic oils into a consumable liquid comprising:
- a citrus press in combination with;
- a liquid drinking vessel adapted for drinking that is removably connected to said citrus press, said liquid drinking vessel further forming a storage and beverage dispensing fluid volume in continuous fluid communication with said citrus press such that the direct blending of freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils is available;
- and
- a separation mechanism between said citrus press and said liquid drinking vessel, said separation mechanism adapted to obstruct physical communication of comminuted foodstuffs into said storage and dispensing fluid volume while permitting fluid communication of said comminuted foodstuffs and freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils with said storage and dispensing fluid volume.
A citrus essence extractor for comminuting of foodstuffs for the extraction and infusion of edible and aromatic oils comprising:
- a citrus press;
- a portable liquid dispensing container that is removably connected to and contains said citrus press, said liquid dispensing container further forming a leak proof, integrated and contained storage and dispensing fluid volume in continuous fluid communication with said citrus press such that the continuous blending of freshly extracted edible and aromatic oils from said citrus press is available directly within said liquid dispensing container ;
- wherein said liquid dispensing container is operatively connected to said citrus press such that said citrus press removably connects to the liquid drinking vessel, as well as being in fluid communication with said dispensing volume.
