Coffee & Tea Brewer™
Dual Electric Coffee/Tea Making Device
Concise Summary
Coffee & Tea Brewer™ is an electric coffee/tea making device with two sections, i.e., two for coffee, one for coffee and one for tea, or two for tea.
Detailed Description
An electric coffee/tea making device comprises two carafes, a casing having two side-by-side chambers, a cold water reservoir, two filter assemblies, and a control assembly. Each filter assembly has volumetric capacity substantially equal to that of the carafe. Each filter assembly comprises a brewing vessel for mixing hot water and coffee/tea particulate, and a hot liquid valve for variably controlling the flow rate of coffee/tea liquid into the carafe.
Horizontal movements of the arm of the hot liquid valve of each filter assembly is capable of variably setting the flow rate of coffee/tea liquid into the carafe in order to vary the steeping time and thus the strength of coffee/tea so that the electric coffee/tea making device can make one of the following combinations in the two carafes: coffee and coffee, coffee and tea, tea and tea.
Coffee & Tea Brewer™ has market potential in TV sales, department stores, speciality stores, hardware stores, kitchen stores, grocery stores, etc.
Coffee & Tea Brewer™ would be manufactured at a factory using well established technology.
The production cost of Coffee & Tea Brewer™ would be slightly more than the existing single-carafe coffee maker products already in the marketplace.
The target retail price for Coffee & Tea Brewer™ would be $89.99 USD to $99.99 USD.
The invention has Canadian Patent Application 2 341 071 (Granted).
Disclaimer: I hope that Merchant Media counts coffee and tea as food, PLEASE!
