ABSTRACT:
A disposal device for disposing of spent beverage brewing substances for use with a beverage brewing apparatus. The beverage brewing apparatus is the type which uses a beverage brewing substance which is disposed in a brewing chamber and infused with a liquid to produce a brewed beverage. A drain conduit extends from the brewing chamber and communicates with the substance disposal device for removing a slurry of moist beverage brewing substance and liquid waste from the brewing chamber of the apparatus into the disposal device. The disposal device includes a housing which houses a strainer basket. The strainer basket is rotatably retained in the housing. The drain conduit from the beverage brewing apparatus deposits the spent beverage brewing substance inside of the strainer basket. The strainer basket is rotated to centrifugally remove a liquid component of the spent beverage brewing substance and drain such liquid out through a drain port in the housing. A resulting drained component of the spent beverage brewing substance is removed by a removing device which scrapes the drained component from the inside surface of the strainer basket and deposits the drained component in a collection bin.
