## Abstract

A container for beverage has a container body and a pressing member. The pressing member has a pair of guide grooves concavely formed to guide the user's fingers on two sides of the outer surface of the pressing member. The pressing member has a discharge hole positioned facing a nozzle from the container body so that the beverage contained in the container discharges through the nozzle and through the discharge hole when the pressing member is pressed towards the container body. The container body is ideal for containing coffee and pressurized gas to eject the coffee into a cup for enjoyment.

## Claims

### Claim 1
