  • Patent number: 5055311
    Abstract: A disposable coffee-brewing apparatus comprising a collapsible and expandable housing for supporting a filter element containing ground coffee. In its collapsed configuration the housing forms a flat parcel which can be provided with detachable sealing tabs or can be packaged in a separately sealed envelope. In its expanded configuration, the housing forms a generally tubular structure for placement around a drinking cup or other receptacle such that the coffee-brewing apparatus surrounds or substantially surrounds the receptacle and is situated on the same surface which supports the drinking receptacle. The expanded housing supports a filter element directly over the drinking receptacle such that hot water can be poured into the filter element, passing through coffee grounds therein and into the receptacle below to create a cup of fresh brewed coffee. After dispensing the coffee beverage, the housing can be collapsed once again and the coffee-brewing apparatus discarded.
