The present invention pertains to a brewing filter apparatus capable of
preparing foam, froth, or crema, particularly for coffee beverages, under
low pressure. The apparatus can operate at pressures below 15 bar and as
low as 1-3 bar. The apparatus comprises a mesh cover, coarse filter, fine
filter, large O-ring, coffee container, small O-ring, and foam maker
having two opposing holes. The holes have a diameter in the range of 0.3
to 1 mm. The crema is created by the turbulent contacting of two opposing
jets of coffee, which enter the foam maker through the two opposing
holes. To further increase agitation and the surface area for contact, a
stainless steel wire mesh may be situated in the center of the foam maker
directly in the path of and in between the opposing jets of coffee to
facilitate the formation of more crema.
