Abstract

A beverage brewing filter structure used to retain a brewing filter and a beverage brewing substance. The structure is designed to create a consistent bed depth and a plurality of wicking points in order to give a more even extraction of the beverage brewing substance and a better taste profile over other standard filter structures. The structure is generally a frame including a base, and a wall extending from the base to a top rim, thus defining a generally annular mouth. The frame defines open spaces therein. The wall is made up of a plurality of ribs, each of which has a first angled portion that extends from the base and a second angled portion that extends from the first angled portion to the top rim. The first angled portion of the ribs defines a smaller angle relative to the base than the second angled portion. The ribs of the wall extend radially inwardly to define a base which is positioned in a plane and has a plurality of gaps therethrough. Each rib conjoins to another rib at a center portion of the base to provide a plurality of wicking points. The ribs of the base are supported by a bottom rim which is generally annular. The general novelties of the present invention can also be combined with a brewing funnel into a single apparatus for achieving both the purposes of the filter structure as well as those of the funnel.
