This
invention is a new use of a table blender and a microwave oven. When used
in combination with a microwave oven, a table blender can prepare many
foodstuffs, such as soy milk, rice milk, soup, coffee, tea and herbal teas
with a full body and flavor previously unknown. What happens is the
removable jar and blade assembly of a table blender, containing a brewing
coffee or steeping tea, is removed from the blender motor, and placed in a
microwave oven and brewed until hot. Then, the jar, containing the still
brewing hot beverage, is placed back on the blender’s motor and blended
until the brewing is completed.
Taught are 1) grinding
and pulverizing coffee-beans, coffee-grounds, and tea-leaves in a liquid,
2) with an electric mixer, brewing coffee and steeping tea, in water or in
a milk product, and 3) filtering a brewed coffee or tea out of the blender
jar through a strainer. The need for percolators, French Press, drip
coffee makers, and espresso machines is no longer needed. The powerful
electric motor of the table blender provides beverages with more body and
flavor than does the repeated dunking of a tea bag or the enormous
pressure of an espresso machine. This invention is useful in domestic,
commercial and industrial food preparation. It has independent utility and
can be employed with the inventor’s other inventions that improve,
simplify and speed food preparation.
