ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a coffee brewing apparatus and method for brewing coffee which employs a rotating basket and other appropriate support structure The rotating basket is subjected to centrifugal acceleration and water containing caffeol is selectively extracted from water and ground coffee present in the basket. The water and caffeol extracted from the ground coffee exits from the basket through a plurality of ports disposed around the circumference thereof, is directed through a discharge passageway and is collected in a receptacle.
In accordance with the method a preselected amount of ground coffee is introduced into the basket which is subjected to centrifugal acceleration. A preselected amount of water at a predetermined temperature is added to the basket in order to form a coffee grounds-water mixture and an aqueous solution containing caffeol but not the coffee grounds is selectively removed from the basket through the plurality of circumferential ports located in the wall of the basket. Centrifugal acceleration is continued until essentially all of the aqueous solution present in the basket has been separated from the ground coffee, removed from the basket and collected in the receptacle.
