Abstract
A foldable beverage press plunger system is provided that includes a shaft and a plunger pivotally attached to an end of the shaft. The plunger may be selectively folded and unfolded, such that the plunger has a first width when the plunger is unfolded, and has a second width smaller than the first width when the plunger is folded. The second width may be sufficiently small that the plunger may be inserted into and removed from the mouth of a beverage container having a mouth that has a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of a body of the beverage container. A collar may be slidably disposed on the shaft, and the collar may be adapted to secure the plunger in an unfolded configuration after the plunger has been inserted into the mouth of the beverage container.
