ALKALI BUFFER + MINERALS SUPPLEMENT ADDITIVE

$
0
0
A concentrated alkali buffer+minerals supplement additive for human consumption having a pH value of approximately 12.5, formed by combining potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with magnesium carbonate hydroxide (MgCO3)4.Mg (OH)2.5H2O and zinc carbonate (ZnCO3) with water in a ratio of one part active ingredients to about nine parts H2O. The new formulation raises the pH level in the stomach which influences the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid and additional bicarbonate, which travels to the intestines and is absorbed into the blood supply. The production of additional bicarbonate absorbed into the blood supply reduces acid in the arterial blood to the healthy range of 7.37-7.43 pH.

DEVICE FOR REMOVING THE SPENT FLAVOR BASE FROM A FRENCH PRESS BEVERAGE BREWING APPARATUS AFTER USE

$
0
0
The device, known as an extraction basket, sits at the bottom of the brewing apparatus' brewing chamber. The basket is inserted into the chamber prior to the addition of the flavor base and water to the chamber. The basket is depressed to the bottom of the chamber. The flavor base is then added to the chamber along with hot water, following the French press process of brewing. With a standard French press brewing apparatus, once the flavor base and hot water is added, a filtration piston is then inserted into the brewing chamber. After the allotted brewing time has passed, the filtration piston is depressed into the chamber. This pushes the spent flavor base to the bottom of the chamber, filtering the brewed beverage from the solid flavor base. As the solid flavor base is pushed to the bottom, the spent flavor base is compacted in the extraction basket which is located at the bottom of the brewing chamber. Once the brewed beverage has been removed the filtration piston is removed from the chamber leaving the spent flavor base compacted into the extraction basket. The user then reaches into the chamber lifts the handle on the extraction basket quickly and neatly removes the basket and the spent flavor base in one efficient motion. The spent flavor base can now be discarded properly without effort or mess.

DEMUCILATING, CLEANING AND WASHING VERTICAL ASCENDING MULTISTAGE DOUBLE BASKET MACHINE FOR DESPULPED COFFEE

$
0
0
The present invention is developed in the farming machinery field used during the wet stage of the coffee and refers to an apparatus that allows carrying out the processes of demucilaging, cleaning and washing of the previously depulped coffee seedcases using a low water and power consumption. Said apparatus comprises a mechanical feeding system for depulped beans, as well as a system for removing the mucilage and further washing of the beams that is constituted by a vertical rotor provided with metallic fingers that generate friction between the grains to be demucilaged, and also two metallic baskets, the first one is conical shaped—where a variable pressure zone between beans is generated, making possible a efficient detachment of the mucilage—, and the second one is cylindrical shaped one—zone of greater agitation between the beans and lower pressure between them and where a minimal amount of water is used for final washing—, which are built with square rods forming a continuous spiral which enables an easy evacuation of mucilage and other impurities through the horizontal slots due to the centrifugal force produced by the spin of a rotor. Finally, the present invention refers to a method for demucilaging, cleaning and washing depulped coffee by using of the above mentioned integral machine.
