Description

Coffee filter cup holder

The present invention relates to a coffee filter cup diversion cup stand, in particular to a coffee filter cup diversion cup stand capable of obtaining coffee of different flavors through different diversion tubes.

For various hand-brewed coffees, slight changes in the brewing process, such as brewing temperature and brewing time, will result in differences in the final coffee flavor, and these differences often determine the different drinking experiences of drinkers. Although the quality of coffee is related to the drinker's preferences, the brewer's experience and skills can often extract a cup of coffee that makes the drinker linger.

In addition to the experience and skills of the coffee brewer, the equipment used to brew coffee is also an important factor affecting the quality and flavor of coffee. Well-designed coffee brewing equipment can make it easier for the brewer to brew a satisfying cup of coffee. When brewing coffee manually, the control of coffee soaking, dripping and outflow is an important factor in determining the flavor of coffee. Existing brewing equipment can only produce a single flavor of coffee each time. For drinkers with different preferences, the equipment must be replaced to satisfy the preferences of multiple drinkers, which often increases the brewer's preparation time and prolongs the drinker's waiting time, making it difficult to improve the overall coffee tasting experience.

In summary, the inventor of the present invention has considered and designed a coffee filter cup diversion cup holder in order to improve the problems of the prior art and thereby promote its implementation and utilization in the industry.

In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a coffee filter cup guide cup holder to solve the problem that the conventional brewing equipment is difficult to brew coffee of different flavors.
