  • Publication number: 20240277178
    Abstract: The disclosed beverage apparatus is configured to allow a user to add a beverage precursor and liquid to a container, separate the liquid from the precursor with a plunger, and consume the separated liquid directly from the same container. In certain implementations, the beverage apparatus includes a screen or filter configured to separate the particulates from the prepared liquid beverage. The beverage apparatus also may include a plunger having one or more valves that are configured to provide a first flow path for the prepared liquid beverage when the plunger is sliding in a first direction and that are further configured to seal to prevent prepared liquid beverage from remaining in contact with the filtered-out particulates. The valves may be additionally configured to provide a second flow path that enables easy removal of the plunger from the container.
