Abstract
A beverage cap with pressure-activate valve for use with a beverage filter press having a hollow cylinder and removable piston that when pressed downward forces liquid through the cylinder and beverage cap into an open vessel. The beverage cap includes a plurality of protrusions that are discontinuous and distributed through the cavity of the cap so as to improve filter support and distribute pressure more uniformly through the cavity and along the filter, thereby allowing use of thin paper filters and avoiding tearing or blow out. The beverage cap can include a removable valve insert that includes a valve body supporting a movable vale and one or more support members that further support the filter at a central valve region, further reinforcing the filter to avoid blow out of paper filters. The beverage cap and beverage cap are suited for pressing of tea or coffee beverages, especially espresso.
