Abstract: The invention pertains to insulated coffee makers and insulating accessories for use with insulated and non-insulated coffee makers. A coffee press brews coffee from a mixture of ground coffee and boiling water placed in a heat resistant container. The mixture is allowed to brew for a specified period after which a plunger affixed to a filter screen is pushed downward in the container. This separates the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. Coffee press coffee makers provide a superior flavor, however heat tends to dissipate rapidly from the container. The invention includes an insulated cylindrical brewing container. Another variant is an insulated insert fitted onto the coffee press lid. Still another is an insulating jacket extending from the top rim of the coffee press to its base with openings provided for the handle and the spout. The jacket may include an openable means to secure the jacket about the handle. The jacket could also include a hinged flap to seal the spout.

Abstract: An insulating jacket for a press-type coffee maker (coffee press) is described. A coffee press brews coffee by having ground coffee placed in a heat resistant container (typically glass) and boiling water added. The mixture is allowed to brew for a specified period after which a plunger affixed to the top of the container having a filter screen at the lower end, is pushed downward into the container, separating the coffee grounds from the coffee. Coffee press coffee makers provide a superior flavor, however heat tends to dissipate rapidly from the container. The invention includes an insulating jacket extending from the top end of the coffee press to its base with openings provided for the handle and the spout of the coffee press. A central hole, surrounded with elastic so that it fits tightly around the plunger rod, is provided in the top end of the jacket to permit the plunger of the coffee press to be activated while the jacket is in place.
