| abstract |
An infuser unit for making beverages in an associated container. The infuser unit attaches to the top of the associated container and includes a well portion for receiving and holding a charge of flavoring material. Heated water, or other liquid, is poured through the well portion into the associated container and then circulates between the inside and outside of the well portion to permit infusion of flavors from the flavoring materials to the liquid. A cover for the infuser unit is also provided that seats within the top of the well and forms a trough on its reverse side to collect excess liquid from the well after the infuser unit is removed from the associated container. |
