Abstract: A method for fabricating a manual drip coffee cone from sheet material is comprised of three general steps: In the first step, a conical body 1 is formed from sheet material in the shape of a truncated cone to hold a coffee filter. The base of the conical body 1 forms a drip ring 2, which directs dripping coffee into a receiving vessel and prevents the cone from slipping off the vessel. In the second step, a drip plate 3, having at least one drip hole 4, is fixed to the inside of the conical body 1, near the drip ring 2, to form a drip plate 3 at a short height above the drip ring 2 to provide maximum headspace for effective drip filtration.

Abstract: One embodiment of a manual drip coffee cone of the type having a conical body 1, that is truncated at the bottom and fashioned in a round shape to hold a typical paper filter or other type of filter. The base of the conical body 1 forms a drip ring 2. The drip ring 2 directs drips into the receiving vessel and prevents the cone from slipping off the vessel. A round drip plate 3, is set inside the conical body 1 at a short height above the base of the cone. The drip plate 3 has a drip hole 4. A ring collar 5, radiates out from near the base of the cone so that it sits on a cup, carafe, or other vessel. The material of the embodiment includes, but is not limited to, metals such as steel, titanium, aluminum, iron, and others; enamel-coated metals; anodized metals; and other materials deemed desirable in the future for similar kitchen tools.
