Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023012483A1] A beverage-making, serving and clearing assembly comprises a vessel and a tableware piece acting as a lid to the vessel. The piece comprises a shaped disc comprising a perimeter and two principal surfaces either side thereof, being a first principal surface comprising an upstand and a second principal surface comprising a continuous downstand surrounding a well. The piece acts as a lid on the vessel containing hot water with the first surface uppermost and the downstand preventing the piece slipping sideways off the vessel. The piece optionally comprises a perimeter recess capable of retaining a teaspoon in the vessel and optionally comprises a top recess capable of retaining a second vessel, for example a milk jug. The assembly may be held and carried securely in one hand by holding the vessel. The piece may be inverted and placed on a horizontal surface with the second principal surface uppermost to receive a used tea bag or infuser in the well. The inverted piece is capable of being relocated onto the vessel with the second surface uppermost, the upstand preventing the piece slipping sideways off the vessel. This assembly configuration is also capable of being held and carried securely in one hand by holding the vessel.
