COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Apparatus or Cafetiere for Making Coffee.
I, NICHOLAS DANIEL, of 148, Newgate Street, in the City and County of New-
castle-upon-Tyne, Restaurateur, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention specially relates to an apparatus consisting of an infuser, strainer
and receiver, or cup, combined, designed for making one cup, or other small
quantity, of coffee at a time with the object of obtaining the coffee fresh and pure
in flavour and free from stewing.
The infuser has a perforated bottom with a perforated cover, the space between
them containing the ground coffee, and is fitted with a lid and handle and is
arranged to fit the mouth of the receiver, which may be an ordinary cup or similar
vessel.
The infuser, being charged with ground coffee, is placed upon the mouth of the
receiver and boiling water poured into it and closed by the lid, and in a few
minutes the receiver is filled with freshly made and pure coffee, when the infuser
is lifted off and cleansed of the coffee grounds, and is now ready for charging
for a fresh cup.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
The accompanying sheet of drawings shews my invention designed for making
a single cup, which I prefer, Fig. 1 being a section through the infuser and
receiver, Fig. 2 an external view of the same, and Figs. 3 and plans of the
perforated bottom and cover respectively between which the ground coffee is
contained.
1 is the infuser having a perforated bottom 1ª, shewn in plan on Fig. 3, upon
which the ground coffee is carried and covered by a perforated loose cover 2, shewn
in plan on Fig. 4, removeable by a ring 2ª. The infuser has a lid 1b and handle 1°
and fits within the mouth of the receiver or cup 3, in this case of glass, in an orna-
mental case 3 with a handle 3b and standing on the table in a dished plate 4.
The infuser and its fittings, as shewn, are of electro plated metal, and the receiver
is in the form of a small glass carried in an electro plated filagree open work case
with a handle, but either the infuser and receiver or both may be of china, porce-
lain or other ware, or of any suitable material.
The intention is that each customer shall be served with a cup, small or large,
of freshly infused pure coffee, preserving all the flavour and aroma which is
impossible in making coffee in large quantity, which always has a stewed flavour.
It will be apparent, however, that by using a larger infuser 2 or more cups may be
made at once according to the number of customers, the receiver being also larger
and the coffee poured from it into the cups.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
A new or improved apparatus or cafétière for making small quantities of coffee,

page_text: comprising an infuser with a perforated bottom to hold the ground coffee with a
perforated cover for same; the infuser fitting into the mouth of a receiver which
may form the cup to drink from, constructed and operating substantially as
described, and in one form illustrated by the drawings herewith, with the objects
hereinbefore set forth.
