Abstract

A brewing and extracting apparatus comprises an extracting cup, an eccentric filter and a stirrer configured inside the extracting cup, wherein the stirrer is driven by a motor so as to generate whirlpool currents from soaking liquid injected into the extracting cup by rotating the stirrer. The eccentric filter has a container placed within the extracting cup and soaked in the soaking liquid wherein the container is on a position deviating from the center of the whirlpool currents so as to bring contents of tea-leaves in the container up increasingly and dissolve the contents into liquid through the whirlpool currents.

Claims (17)

1 . A brewing and extracting apparatus, comprising:

an extracting cup having a stirrer inside the extracting cup for generating whirlpool currents from brewing liquid poured into the extracting cup by operating the stirrer; and

an eccentric filter having a container placed inside the extracting cup for placing tea-leaves in the container and dissolving contents of tea-leaves into brewing liquid,

wherein the container is in a position deviating from a center of the whirlpool currents generated by operating the stirrer so as to accelerating to extract the contents from the tea-leaves and to dissolve the contents into brewing liquid by infusing the tea-leaves with the whirlpool currents.

2 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 1 , wherein the stirrer is configured within a central position of the extracting cup.

3 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 1 , wherein the stirrer is combined with a motor for providing driving power.

4 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 1 , wherein the container has a plurality of filter openings configured in the edge of the body of the container, and the filter openings allow brewing liquid to pass through the container but limit tea-leaves within the container.

5 . A brewing and extracting apparatus, assembling into a chamber of a tea-brewing device having a lid for taking the brewing and extracting apparatus out when the lid is opened, comprising:

an extracting cup having a stirrer inside the extracting cup for generating whirlpool currents from brewing liquid poured into the extracting cup by operating the stirrer; and

an eccentric filter having a container placed inside the extracting cup for placing tea-leaves in the container and dissolving contents of tea-leaves into brewing liquid, wherein the container is in a position deviating from a center of the whirlpool currents generated by operating the stirrer so as to accelerating to extract the contents from the tea-leaves and to dissolve the contents into brewing liquid by infusing the tea-leaves with the whirlpool currents.

6 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 5 , wherein the stirrer is configured within a central position of the extracting cup.

7 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 5 , wherein a motor is configured in the tea-brewing device for driving the stirrer.

8 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 5 , wherein the container has a plurality of filter openings configured in the edge of the body of the container, and the filter openings allow brewing liquid to pass through the container but limit tea-leaves within the container.

9 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 5 , wherein the lid is connected pivotally with the tea-brewing device.

10 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 9 , wherein a transporting channel is configured inside the lid and a pouring opening capable of pouring brewing liquid into the container is configured in the bottom side of the lid.

11 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 10 , wherein a discharging hole for discharging the brewing liquid is configured in the extracting cup.

12 . The brewing and extracting apparatus as cited in claim 11 , wherein the tea-brewing device is further configured with an outlet opening connecting with the discharging hole for making the brewing liquid discharged from the extracting cup and poured out of the tea-brewing device through the outlet opening.
