Abstract: Press beverage brewing assemblies and related brewing methods. In some embodiments, the brewing assembly may comprise a brewing chamber, which may be configured to be received within a receiving chamber, such as a carafe. A valve assembly may be coupled with the brewing chamber and a plunger may be slideably received within the brewing chamber to selectively release a valve, such as a pressure-actuated valve within the brewing chamber, to allow for dispensing of coffee or another brewed beverage from the brewing chamber to the receiving chamber.

Abstract: Brewing assemblies and related brewing methods involving timer-actuated release of a fluid, such as heated water, during a brewing process for brewing and/or for release of the brewed beverage itself. In some embodiments, the brewing assembly may comprise a valve assembly operated by a timer such that a fluid is delivered in desired, preferably intermittent, doses. In some embodiments, the valve assembly may be modular and may allow for substitution of certain components, such as a rotating dial, to select certain recipes and/or preferred brewing characteristics.

Abstract: Brewing assemblies and related brewing methods. In some embodiments, the assembly may be configured to allow for improved, precision control over one or more aspects, stages, and/or parameters of the brewing process. For example, some embodiments may allow for full-immersion brewing for a precise, controlled period of time, which time may be controlled by application of a pressure differential to actuate a valve for and/or provide a force to assist in delivery of a brewed beverage from a brewing chamber of the assembly. Some embodiments may further provide for various pre-infusion steps/stages and/or post-immersion steps/stages.
