ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to insulated coffee makers and insulating accessories for use with insulated and non-insulated coffee makers. A coffee press brews coffee from a fixture of ground coffee and boiling water placed in a heat resistant container. The mixture is allowed to brew for a specified period after which a plunger affixed to a filter screen is pushed downward in the container. This separates the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. Coffee press coffee makers provide a superior flavor, however heat tends to dissipate rapidly from the container. The invention includes an insulated cylindrical brewing container. Another variant is an insulated insert fitted onto the coffee press lid. Still another is an insulating jacket extending from the top rim of the coffee press to its base with openings provided for the handle and the spout. The jacket may include an openable means to secure the jacket about the handle. The jacket could also include a hinged flap to seal the spout. Another variation on the invention is an insulated heat tube installed between the handle and frame assembly and the cylindrical brewing container. Another variant of the invention is an insulated handle and frame assembly. The insulated cylindrical brewing container, the insulated tube, and the insulated handle and frame assembly may each incorporate a temperature sensing film to allow continuous brew temperature monitoring. Another variant has an insulated lid. In a final variant, the insulated lid incorporates a hinged insulated flap to cover the spout opening.
