Abstract
A cold brew coffee filtration assembly having a closure. The closure includes a first side and a second side. The first side has a first coupling member configured to couple the closure to a first container. The second side has a second coupling member configured to couple the closure to a second container. A filter is between the first and the second coupling members. A support member supports the filter and defines an air channel extending through the support member and across the filter. A tube is configured to be connected to the support member and extend from the first side of the closure to a bottom of the first container when the first container is coupled to the first side of the closure, the tube further defining the air channel.
Claims16
A cold brew coffee filtration assembly comprising:
- a closure including:
- a first side having a first coupling member configured to couple the closure to a first container;
- a second side having a second coupling member configured to couple the closure to a second container;
- a filter between the first and the second coupling members;
- a support member supporting the filter and defining an air channel extending through the support member and across the filter;
- and
- a tube configured to be connected to the support member and extend from the first side of the closure proximate to a bottom of the first container when the first container is coupled to the first side of the closure, the tube further defining the air channel.
A method for cold brewing coffee, the method comprising:
- loading coffee grounds and water into a first container for steeping the coffee grounds in the water and forming a coffee concentrate;
- connecting a first side of a closure to the first container such that a tube of the closure extends nearly to a bottom of the first container, the closure including a filter and defining an air channel extending across the filter and through the tube;
- connecting a second side of the closure to a second container such that the filter is between the first container and the second container;
- and
- rotating the first container, the closure, and the second container 180° thereby:
- filtering the coffee concentrate through the filter and into the second container, the filter configured to restrict passage of the coffee grounds therethrough in order to separate the coffee concentrate from the coffee grounds;
- and
- permitting air from the first container to pass through the air channel and into the second container.
