Coffee press

Abstract

A French press coffee maker 200 having a coffee grounds basket is provided. The coffee grounds basket 100 is a completely contained mesh basket (14-19) that enables the placement of coffee grounds therein, while completely preventing loose coffee grounds from physically mixing with the water that ultimately becomes the coffee the user drinks. In this manner, not only is the coffee more pure, but cleaning the device is made easier and simpler by maintaining the used coffee grounds separate and apart from the carafe / container within which it is positioned during use.

More particularly, it relates to the incorporation of a grounds basket within a French coffee press device. Background technique [0004] The use of coffee machines known as French presses is generally known. It is known to "steep" coffee using a French coffee press maker. That is, mix boiling water with coarse ground coffee in a container or glass jug. After allowing the coffee to steep for a few minutes, the handle is depressed to contain grounds in the bottom of the container below the perforated disc. The disc is perforated to allow liquid coffee to pass through the disc when the disc is lowered through the liquid. The coffee can then be poured from the container (or directly drunk) while preventing grounds from flowing out of the contain...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] A major disadvantage of the current design of the French press is that it should then be cleaned

While the grounds are compacted in the bottom of the press, they are loose in the bottom of the carafe and need to be removed from the bottom after brewing

This removal process is difficult and tedious and often makes one not want to use a French press at all
