Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee filtration technology, and in particular to a filter cup holder and a coffee filtration assembly. Background Technology

[0002] For coffee beverages, coffee beans are typically ground into powder using a coffee machine and then brewed in a cup. During brewing, grounds remain in the cup, resulting in coffee with a poor taste and reduced quality, and is also inconvenient to clean. Current technology usually uses an inverted conical bottomless dripper for filtering and extraction. Filter paper is placed inside the dripper to remove grounds, and the filtered coffee drips into the cup. In practice, a holder is usually used to support the dripper, or a holder is placed on the rim of the cup to support an ice ball. The ice ball allows the coffee to be quickly cooled after being released from the dripper, thus retaining more aroma. However, the holders in current technology are inconvenient to use and ineffective, leading to poor coffee extraction. Utility Model Content

[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the utility model, the number of lifting parts 120 is not limited to 3, but can also be 4, 5 or other numbers, which can be determined according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Preferably, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the bracket body 100 is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, can maintain good appearance and performance for a long time, and extend the service life of the product.

[0039] Reference Figure 2According to the present invention, a coffee filter assembly includes a filter cup holder as described in the above embodiment, and a support frame 200. The support frame 200 is provided with a support ring 210, and the main body 100 of the holder rests on the support ring 210 through a lifting part 120.

[0040] Specifically, the coffee filter assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, through the inverted conical design of the holder body 100, can better adapt to the shapes of various common bottomless filter cups 400 on the market, ensuring that the bottomless filter cup 400 will not tilt or slide during the extraction process, thus improving the safety of use. The wavy pleats on the circumference of the holder body 100 increase the surface friction coefficient, maintaining good grip even in humid environments, preventing the bottomless filter cup 400 from slipping, ensuring a smooth extraction process, and ensuring the extraction effect. The outer ring 110 on the top of the holder body 100 and the multiple lifting parts 120 on the outer ring 110 allow users to easily lift the entire filter cup holder, facilitating operation when adding water or moving the filter cup, improving the convenience and user experience.
