Abstract: Coffee of a generic flavor coming from the natural coffee bean is brewed and custom flavored in a method having the steps of (1) brewing the coffee in a brew chamber and passing the coffee through a filter to produce filtered filtrate of the brewed coffee at the downstream side of the filter, and (2) exposing a flavoring agent to the filtered filtrate at said downstream side of the filter to thereby add flavor associated with the flavoring agent to the filtered filtrate. The steps of producing filtered filtrate and adding flavor thereto are substantially separate and sequential as to each increment of filtered filtrate so produced and to which the flavoring agent is so exposed.

Abstract: A plurality of wipe-containing moisture-resistant flapped envelopes are interconnected end-to-end to form a train of envelopes stored in roll form and containing wipes or towelettes treated with cleanser or other skin-treating agent. Each flap is held closed in the roll until the flap's associated envelope is unrolled from the end of the roll, whereupon the flap falls open and the envelope's contents may be easily removed without any need for peeling or unzipping the flap.

Abstract: A conventional coffee filter is replaced by a package containing a flavoring and in which a paper filter forms a wall. The filter-formed wall is the upstream wall of the package. When used in a conventional filter drip or automatic filter drip brewer, the result is a brewing system wherein the producing of a filtered filtrate of the coffee brew and the flavoring of the filtrate are performed as two separate and sequential steps.

Abstract: Glass bottles and other food containers or serving pieces are provided that are stronger and safer to use than present like articles, and that may easily and safely be caused to break into granules thereby reducing the bulk or volume of the used pieces. The granulation may be done at the point of consumption or use, thereby reducing storage space and bulk transportation costs. The granules are ecologically correct, innocuous as waste, and have a low litter profile.
