Abstract
A brew basket including a basket body having a side wall forming an interior and an opening at an upper edge of the basket body, and a lid having an elastomeric periphery sized and shaped to wipe a portion of the side wall proximate to the upper edge of the basket body when the lid moves between an open position and a closed position.

A brew basket, comprising:
- a basket body, comprising a side wall forming an interior and an opening at an upper edge of the basket body;
- a lid having a non-elastomeric first layer, having a first rigidity, and an elastomeric second layer, having a second rigidity lower than the first rigidity;
- and
- a lid handle extending from the lid.
