  • Patent number: 11076721
    Abstract: A device for producing nut butter and/or nut milk from nuts. The device includes a base having a motor, an outer container positioned above the base, a mixing container positioned within the outer container, and a cutting device positioned within the mixing container and configured to be driven by the motor during operation. The mixing container has inner sidewalls and at least one screen, the inner sidewalls being substantially vertical and the at least one screen having a plurality of holes particularly sized to allow emulsified nut milk to freely pass therethrough. The cutting device has a central hub and at least two blades, the at least two blades vertically offset and each having a blade tip, with each blade tip positioned a certain radial distance from the inner sidewalls of the mixing container. A method for producing nut butter and/or nut milk is further described.

  • Patent number: 11019956
    Abstract: A digital scale for optimizing coffee brewing, and pour-over brewing in particular, is provided. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a scale configured to determine the target amount of water to add based on any amount of coffee grounds used, compare an actual pour rate to a target pour rate when adding the target amount of water over a specific target pour time, and clearly communicate the same to the user.

  • Patent number: 10016088
    Abstract: A cold coffee brewing device is disclosed. A filter basket is provided that can rest at two positions, a first brewing position and a second draining position, the draining position being located above the liquid being brewed to allow the filter basket to drain without further support. The filter basket rests on a first width in the brewing position and on a second width in the draining position. The first and second width can either be formed in to a container for brewing or an adaptor can be provided to create the first and second width on the container. The filter basket has sections that are adapted to rest on the first and second width respectively.

  • Publication number: 20180153334
    Abstract: High-altitude protection logic for brewing devices is provided. An actual temperature of a liquid during a heating process is compared to a high-altitude temperature programmed into a controller. If the actual temperature rises to the high-altitude temperature before a default target temperature of the heating process, then one or more time periods may begin to run. If the actual temperature has not changed or the default target temperature has not been reached after a time period elapses, the high-altitude protection logic terminates the heating process. A maximum value of the actual temperature measured during the heating process may replace the programmed default target temperature for subsequent brewings. The new default target temperature may be used to inform and modify a target keep warm temperature for subsequent keep warm mode uses. These stored may be reset to initial program values if the device is disconnected from its power source.
