Patent number: 12369751Abstract: A conical burr coffee grinder can include a hopper that receives coffee beans, a grinding arrangement beneath the hopper, and a removable container beneath the grinding arrangement. The grinding arrangement can include an inner conical burr within an outer conical burr. At least one conical burr can rotate with respect to the other to grind the coffee beans into coffee grounds and dispense the coffee grounds into the container. The coffee beans and coffee grounds can follow a substantially vertical path from the hopper through the grinding arrangement and into the container, which can be multipurpose. A rotor gear can be coupled to the inner conical burr such that the rotor gear and inner conical burr rotate together as a combined unit. Additional components can include a rotational motor, a geartrain, a removable hopper lid, a grind adjustment assembly, a chute, an ionizer, a base, and a safety switch.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2022Date of Patent: July 29, 2025Assignee: Fellow Industries, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Hudak, Nicholas Terzulli, Patrick Donaghy, Matthew Flowers

Patent number: 12268322Abstract: An espresso machine can include a pump, preheating component, low volume boiler, and group head. The pump can provide pressurized water to the preheating component, which can preheat the pressurized water to a first temperature and deliver the preheated water. The low volume boiler can have a heating arrangement, water inlet, internal volume, and water outlet, and can receive the preheated water, heat the preheated water to a second temperature that is equal to or greater than the first temperature, and deliver a portion of the heated water. The group head can couple with a portafilter having espresso grounds therein, receive the portion of heated water from the low volume boiler, and force the portion of heated water through the espresso grounds in the portafilter. The portion of heated water can remain substantially at or within about 1° C. of the second temperature as it exits the group head.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Fellow Industries, Inc.Inventor: Nicholas Terzulli

Patent number: 12179966Abstract: A portable beverage container lid can include a main outer housing, a slider top assembly coupled thereto, a carrier disposed therewithin, and beverage and vent seals coupled to the carrier. The main outer housing can include a beverage opening and a vent opening. The slider top assembly can slide laterally between open and closed positions. The carrier can move when the slider top assembly slides laterally. The beverage seal can close the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow the beverage to pass through the beverage opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The vent seal can close the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position and allow air to pass through the vent opening when the slider top assembly is in the closed position. The beverage and vent seals can be actuated simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2023Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: Fellow Industries, Inc.Inventors: Pajnucci Vue, Nicholas Terzulli

Patent number: 12108913Abstract: A coffee grinder suitable for home use can include a housing that receives coffee beans, a grinding component within the housing, a removable container that receives coffee grounds dispensed from the grinding component, and a base located beneath the grinding component that supports the container. Magnetic components in the base and removable container can optimally align the container when placed atop the base. A knocker system can dislodge ground coffee residue into the container when actuated. An intelligent drive system can utilize feedback to drive the grinding component at a constant speed to minimize coffee grounds size variances. A grinds chamber in the housing can define an asymmetrical cross-sectional geometry. An auger that drives the grinding component can have an outer thread that forces coffee beans through the grinds chamber, and a grinds chamber housing can include a protective shoulder that covers a lead-in portion of the outer thread.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2020Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: Fellow Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Kuempel, Jake Miller

Patent number: 11304550Abstract: A beverage containment apparatus includes a cylindrical body, a lid, and a splash guard. The body has one or more walls, a sloping lip at an opening on one end, an interior portion of the body, and a base. In some embodiments, the sloped lip forms a circular arc or a parabolic arc. The lid has a closed end and an open end on an opposite side of the closed end. The open end is configured to detachably couple to the body. The splash guard is configured to detachably couple to the interior portion of the body proximate to the sloping lip. The splash guard includes a plurality of apertures spaced around an outer circumference of the splash guard. In some embodiments, the splash guard includes a center aperture sized to fit a user's finger.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Fellow Industries, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Cosgarea, Yulian Bagirov

Patent number: 10687651Abstract: An electric dispensing kettle system with a dispensing kettle seats on to and docks to a control station. The dispensing kettle includes a weighted handle for controlled or balanced pouring. The control station provides controlled power to a heating element within the dispensing kettle with the dispensing kettle seated on to docked to the control station. The control sation includes a PID controller or control loop feedback circuit that continuously modulates power to the heating element based on actual temperature reading received from a thermocouple structure. The control station also includes an electronic dispaly that simultaneously displays an actual temperature of the steeping liquid and the target temperature of the steeping liquid within the dispensing kettle.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Fellow Industries Inc.Inventor: Jake Miller
