ABSTRACT:
An infusion maker includes a lid, a filter, a stopper, a basket, a retaining frame, and a jug. The basket has a through hole at the center of its bottom side, and a bottom extended wall with spaced slots. The retaining frame includes an annular ring at the top, an outer annular frame, supports erected between the annular ring and the outer annular frame, and an inner annular frame disposed inside the outer annular frame and connected thereto by reinforcing ribs. The inner annular frame is provided with a bearing seat for receiving the stopper. The outer annular frame is externally provided with bulges for engaging the slots of the basket. The retaining frame is fitted over the basket from below and they are placed into the jug with the annular ring suspended on the rim of the jug. The basket slips downwardly of its own weight so that the stopper blocks the through hole of the basket to allow immersion of substances like coffee in the basket. The lid can be lifted by holding the lugs so that the stopper disengages from the through hole and the coffee inside the basket flows quickly through the through hole into the jug below.
