Patent number: 10919754Abstract: A beverage diluting and cooling container includes a floor, a peripheral sidewall, and a divider wall that divides an interior space defined by the peripheral sidewall into a first compartment that receives a cooling medium for cooling and diluting a beverage received into the first compartment. The divider wall also divides the interior space into a second compartment that holds a second quantity of a cooling medium for non-dilutingly cooling the beverage. The second compartment is sealed from the first compartment to prevent flow of liquid from the second compartment into the first compartment. One or more of the floor or a portion of the sidewall bounding the first compartment includes at least one opening therethrough to allow flow of the beverage out of the first compartment while containing the cooling medium in the first compartment.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: RONNOCO COFFEE, LLCInventors: Jody G.

Patent number: 8539876Abstract: A brew basket with an integrated separate cavity providing for a water bypass or additive conduit all of which may be added to the brewed beverage, as it exists its brew basket discharge spout during a brewing cycle. An integrated separate cavity is provided partially around the perimeter of the brew basket, as along its upper flange, for some angular distance, and which cavity tapers into a downward conduit, which conduit extends under the bottom of the brew basket, and empties into the same discharged port through which the brewed beverage is discharged from the brew basket and into a lower decanter, during performance of a brewing cycle. Additives such as flavoring, sweeteners, and even cold water may pass through the separate cavity, for intermixing with the brewed beverage, in order to add to its flavoring, sweetening, or even cooling, depending upon whether coffee, hot tea, or ice tea, has been selected for the brewing cycle.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Newco Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joseph P. Webster, Jody G. Jacobsen

Patent number: 8490540Abstract: A programmable brewer capable of brewing approximately 250 different brewing profiles for beverages, including a housing, having a base, the base capable of supporting a decanter, into which the brewed beverage is deposited. A cover is cantilevered forwardly at the top of the housing, and the housing incorporates a water tank capable of producing heating water for use of brewing purposes. The brewer cooperating with a hand held computer for producing limited programming functions available through the brewer during its usage, said computer providing for a calibration of the programming mode, to determine the parameters of a brewing cycle, regulating the temperature of the water, and a computer providing for establishing the operation mode of a cold water dispensing tube, and a hot water dispensing tube for determining the amount of water to be dispensed from said tubes during operations of a brew cycle.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Newco Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Joseph P. Webster, Jody G. Jacobsen
