Abstract

A pour-over beverage system is disclosed. The pour-over beverage system includes a double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir for holding a steeped beverage and a flow control mechanism or flow control insert attached to a bottom portion of the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir for dispensed the steeped beverage. The system also preferably includes a double walled vacuum sealed capturing vessel or capturing reservoir for capturing the steeped beverage dispensed through the control mechanism or flow control insert.

Claims (26)

1. A pour-over beverage system comprising:

a) a double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir;

b) a flow control mechanism or flow control insert attached to a bottom portion of the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir, wherein a bottom surface of the flow control mechanism or flow control insert is patterned to control dispensing rates of steeped beverages from the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir into a capturing vessel or capturing reservoir;

c) a gasket, grommet or O-ring surrounding the flow control mechanism or flow control insert to secure or seat the flow control mechanism or flow control insert over a receiving and dispensing aperture of the capturing vessel or capturing reservoir; and

d) a removable cap feature that couples to the cup feature or pour-over reservoir through the gasket, grommet or O-ring such as to cover and protects the flow control mechanism or flow control insert during storage.

2. The pour-over beverage system of claim 1 , wherein the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir has a height (H) of between 2.5 and 6 inches and a width (W) of between 2.5 and 4 inches.

3. The pour-over beverage system of claim 1 , wherein the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir is formed from stainless steel.

4. The pour-over beverage system of claim 1 , the bottom surface of the flow control mechanism or flow control insert is patterned with alternating bumps or protrusion structures and apertures or drain holes.

5. A pour-over beverage system comprising:

a) a double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir;

b) a flow control mechanism or flow control insert attached to a bottom portion of the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir;

c) a double walled vacuum sealed capturing vessel or capturing reservoir, wherein a bottom surface of the flow control mechanism or flow control insert is patterned to control dispensing rates of steeped beverages from the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir into the double walled vacuum sealed capturing vessel or the capturing reservoir;

d) a gasket, grommet or O-ring surrounding the flow control mechanism or flow control insert to secure or seat the flow control mechanism or flow control insert over a receiving and dispensing aperture of the double walled vacuum sealed capturing vessel or the capturing reservoir; and

e) a removable cap feature that couples to the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir through the gasket, grommet or O-ring such as to cover and protects the flow control mechanism or flow control insert during storage.

6. The pour-over beverage system of claim 5 , wherein the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir has a height (H) of between 2.5 and 6 inches and a width (W) of between 2.5 and 4 inches.

7. The pour-over beverage system of claim 5 , wherein the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir is formed from stainless steel and the double walled vacuum sealed capturing vessel or capturing reservoir is formed from glass.

8. The pour-over beverage system of claim 5 , the flow control mechanism or flow control insert is formed form stainless steel and the bottom surface of the flow control mechanism or the flow control insert is patterned with alternating bumps or protrusion structures and apertures or drain holes.

9. A pour-over beverage system comprising:

a) a double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir; and

b) a flow control mechanism or flow control insert that detachably couples to a bottom portion of the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir, wherein steeped beverages are dispensed from the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir through the flow control mechanism or flow control insert into a capturing vessel or a capturing reservoir;

c) a gasket, grommet or O-ring surrounding the flow control mechanism or flow control insert to secure or seat the flow control mechanism or flow control insert over a receiving and dispensing aperture of the capturing vessel or the capturing reservoir; and

d) a removable cap feature that couples to the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir through the gasket, grommet or O-ring such as to cover and protects the flow control mechanism or flow control insert during storage.

10. The pour-over beverage system of claim 9 , wherein the flow control mechanism or the flow control insert that detachably couples to a bottom portion of the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or pour-over reservoir through matched threaded features or match snap features.

11. The pour-over beverage system of claim 9 , wherein the flow control mechanism or the flow control insert is pre-charged with a metered amount of an infusible material.

12. The pour-over beverage system of claim 11 , wherein the infusible material is coffee.

13. The pour-over beverage system of claim 9 , wherein the double walled vacuum sealed cup feature or the pour-over reservoir is formed from stainless steel.
