Abstract
A coffee or tea filtering device including a hollow cylinder, a basket, a cup, and a pump. The hollow cylinder may include a top end, a bottom end, and a curvate sidewall extending between the top end and bottom end. The top may be open. The bottom end may be at least partially open and include a first portion of a coupling mechanism and a retaining portion. The removable basket may be sized to be received within the top end of the hollow cylinder. The removable basket may be configured to support coffee grounds or tea leaves. The cup may releasably couple to the first portion of the coupling mechanism of the bottom end of the hollow cylinder. The pump may be configured to pump air from the cup out the opening so as to force a fluid from the hollow cylinder through the basket and into the cup.
Claims20
A coffee or tea filtering device comprising:
- a hollow cylinder comprising a top end, a bottom end opposite the top end, and a curvate sidewall extending between the top end and bottom end, the top end being open, the bottom end being at least partially open and comprising a first portion of a coupling mechanism and a retaining portion, the curvate sidewall comprising an opening;
- a removable basket comprising a curvate sidewall, an open top end, and perforated bottom end, the removable basket sized to be received within the top end of the hollow cylinder, the removable basket configured to be restrained from fully passing through the bottom end of the hollow cylinder via the retaining portion of the hollow cylinder, the removable basket configured to support coffee grounds or tea leaves;
- a cup comprising a curvate sidewall, an open top end, and a closed bottom end, the open top end comprising a second portion of the coupling mechanism configured to releasably couple to the first portion of the coupling mechanism of the bottom end of the hollow cylinder;
- and
- a pump in fluid communication with the opening of the hollow cylinder, wherein the pump is configured to pump air from the cup out the opening so as to force a fluid from the hollow cylinder through the basket and into the cup.
A coffee or tea filtering device comprising:
- a hollow cylinder comprising a first opening at a first end, a second opening at a second end, and a sidewall extending between the first and second ends and having a side opening extending therethrough, the second end of the hollow cylinder configured to form a hermetic seal with a top end of a cup;
- a basket for receiving coffee grounds or tea leaves, the basket sized to fit within the first opening and slide to the second opening without fully passing the second opening;
- and
- a pump in fluid communication with the side opening of the hollow cylinder, the pump configured to pump air from the cup out through the opening of the hollow cylinder so as to draw fluid from the hollow cylinder through the basket and into the cup.
A coffee or tea filtering device comprising:
- a hollow cylinder comprising a first opening at a first end, a second opening at a second end, and a sidewall extending between the first and second ends and having a side opening extending therethrough;
- a gasket supported at the second end of the hollow cylinder, the gasket configured to abut an upper rim of a cup so as to hermetically seal the upper rim of the cup and the second end of the hollow cylinder;
- a basket for receiving coffee grounds or tea leaves, the basket sized to fit within the first opening and slide towards the second opening without passing through the second opening;
- and
- a pump in fluid communication with the side opening of the hollow cylinder, the pump configured to pump air from the cup out through the opening of the hollow cylinder so as to draw fluid from the hollow cylinder through the basket and into the cup.
