Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2403645A] An apparatus for making coffee or other beverages comprises an upper tubular portion 11 and a lower tubular portion 12 telescopically connected, the lower portion 12 being perforate and the upper portion 11 being imperforate. The lower end of the lower tubular portion 12 is closed by a perforate end wall, whilst the upper end of the upper portion 11 is open. The lower end of the upper portion comprises a hook 13 for engaging a cup or mug 10 in which the beverage is to be produced. In use, the coffee grinds etc are placed into the apparatus and hot water is poured onto the coffee grinds through the upper portion 11 such that the grinds held in the lower portion 12 become saturated with water and create a head of water which extends up the tubular body. The derived coffee passes through the perforate section into the cup or mug 10.
