, Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of beverage preparation system, and more particularly to a portable beverage preparation apparatus for making both hot and cold beverages.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] People enjoy drinking cold and hot beverages at all times, and especially while on the go. Coffee, tea, and other hot drinks of all types are very popular all year around. Children and babies enjoy cold or hot milk, often with a chocolate or other flavor added. In the morning, hot drinks such as coffee, are preferred by many adults.
[0004] In order to have coffee for his morning commute, a person either has to be up early to prepare the coffee in his home, or prepare it the night before and keep it hot in a thermos type container. As society becomes increasingly mobile, the morning routine is disturbed and a person either goes without a morning drink or must wait until he or she is at school or work to prepare a favourite beverage, if there is time. Instant hot teas and soups require heating facilities, whether at the office or at home and cannot easily be prepared in a car. Thermos bottles filled with coffee prepared the night before may supply the need for a drink, but such coffee is usually not very hot and not as tasty as it was when freshly brewed.
[0005] There is, therefore, a need in art to provide a portable beverage preparation apparatus for making both hot and cold beverages.
[0006] As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a,” “an,” and “the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Also, as used in the description herein, the meaning of “in” includes “in” and “on” unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0007] In some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment. In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values presented in some embodiments of the invention may contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.
[0008] The recitation of ranges of values herein is merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range. Unless otherwise indicated herein, each individual value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g. “such as”) provided with respect to certain embodiments herein is intended merely to better illuminate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention otherwise claimed. No language in the specification should be construed as indicating any non-claimed element essential to the practice of the invention.
[0009] Groupings of alternative elements or embodiments of the invention disclosed herein are not to be construed as limitations. Each group member can be referred to and claimed individually or in any combination with other members of the group or other elements found herein. One or more members of a group can be included in, or deleted from, a group for reasons of convenience and / or patentability. When any such inclusion or deletion occurs, the specification is herein deemed to contain the group as modified thus fulfilling the written description of all groups used in the appended claims.
