Abstract
The present invention is a filter for use in commercial size brewing devices and machines for preparing brewed foods and beverages, such as, but not limited to, cacao. The filter is sized and dimensioned for use in commercial size brewing devices and machines so as to allow for commercial size batches of brewed beverages to be produced. In a non-limiting embodiment, the filter includes a base portion, a sidewall, and an open top, and may also include a handle. The sidewall preferably includes alternating gold-mesh filter portions and portions of high-heat resistant plastic.
Claims22
A filter for use in commercial size brewing devices and machines, said filter comprising:
- a planar base having a circular perimeter and a plurality of foraminous screen sections;
- and
- a sidewall in the shape of a frustum of a right circular cone,
- wherein said sidewall comprises an apex portion connected to said perimeter of said base, a base portion spaced apart from said apex portion, plurality of foraminous metal mesh sections, and a plurality of liquid-impervious sections,
- wherein said sidewall angles outwardly with respect to said base portion between said base portion and said apex portion,
- wherein said plurality of foraminous metal mesh sections which are spaced apart from each other about said sidewall,
- wherein each of said plurality of liquid-impervious sections being interposed between adjacent foraminous metal mesh sections of said sidewall, and
- wherein said filter is dimensioned and configured for use in commercial size brewing devices and machines so as to allow for commercial size batches of brewed beverages to be produced.
