Benefits of technology

[0007]An advantage of the present invention is that the protrusion enables the liquid permeable filter to be attached both with accuracy and cost efficiency to the annular cover portion. This without any welding or need for expensive precision mounting tools.
[0008]According to another embodiment of the present invention, the sealing means further comprises another, second opening in the annular cover portion, providing access to the interior of the beverage container and to which a protrusion in the form of a tube is arranged. This tube extends from the second opening of the annular cover portion and downwards through the annular cover portion into the beverage container where the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the liquid permeable filter is attached around an oute

Problems solved by technology

However, this principle requires pots and filter-plungers and it is not ideal for the hot beverage to-go market.
The solution described seems to be a sturdy candidate for replacing the classical ‘presso’ brewing pot, but alas, this solution has a major disadvantage n

Example

[0019]It should be emphasized that the term comprises / comprising, when used in this specification, is taken to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, or components, but does not preclude the presence, or addition, of one or more other features, integers, steps, components, or groups thereof. The following detailed description illustrates the invention by way of example and not by way of limitation.

[0020]The described embodiments herein are created from the basic concept that the coffee or tea could be brewed directly in a cup or a mug, only by adding coffee or tea and liquid. Thus when utilizing the sealing means, the lid, of the present invention, the typical consumer merely places the desired coffee amount into the beverage container, adds hot water in the desired amount, and allows the coffee to steep for an appropriate amount of time, places the sealing means comprising a liquid permeable filter on top the beverage container and consumes the brewed coffee.

Abstract

The present invention provides an improved sealing means, typically a lid, for a beverage container. Positioned, between the annular cover portion of the lid and the rim of the beverage container, is a liquid permeable filter, this filter having an opening for receiving a mounting member in the form of a protrusion, which extends from the annular cover portion, downwards, through the annular cover portion, into the beverage container, where the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the liquid permeable filter is attached around the outer periphery of the protrusion. With a protrusion in the form of a tube surrounding an opening in the annular cover portion, food additives are allowed to be inserted after the lid has been mounted to the drinking container.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to means for preparing hot, infused beverages. More particularly, it relates to sealing means for a hot beverage infusion device, used to prepare a single cup of coffee or tea.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The classical brewing principle, ‘presso’ brewing, where the coffee, tea or alike is blended with hot water and is separated from the liquid with a filter, is considered by many experts to be the best way to produce high quality coffee. However, this principle requires pots and filter-plungers and it is not ideal for the hot beverage to-go market. In recent years many attempts have been made to give customers a possibility to choose the type of beverage they want, with the base of only adding hot water or alike without investing in brewing machines. In US 2008 / 0035652 is described a drinking container with a top filter lid. This lid comprises a cover portion having an opening through which liquid can be consumed from the drink ...
