Apparatus facilitating brewing of beverages in a container

An apparatus facilitating brewing of beverages in a container, the apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus container comprising a base cap and a side wall, wherein the side wall extends between a top end and a bottom end, wherein the side wall defines an interior space extending between the top end and the bottom end, wherein the bottom end defines a bottom opening of the apparatus container, wherein the base cap is configured for transitioning the bottom opening between at least one opened state and a closed state, wherein at least one portion of the side wall comprises a plurality of openings, wherein the apparatus container is configured to be disposed in the container with the bottom opening in the closed state for brewing at least one beverage in the container, wherein at least one brewing fluid disposed in the container moves between the container and the interior space through at least one of the plurality of openings, wherein the apparatus container is configured for receiving at least one beverage ingredient in the interior space, wherein the apparatus container comprises a first side wall contactingly disposed with the side wall, wherein the side wall and the first side wall are movably coupled using a wall coupling element, wherein at least one first portion of the first side wall comprises a plurality of first openings, wherein the first side wall is configured to be transitionable between a plurality of relative positions in relation to the side wall for varying a degree of overlap of the plurality of openings with the plurality of first openings, wherein the degree of overlap defines an effective open area of the plurality of openings, wherein the at least one brewing fluid moves between the container and the interior space through the effective open area of at least one of the plurality of openings;
• and
• a plunger assembly coupled to the top end of the side wall, wherein the plunger assembly comprises a plunger handle and a plunger head, wherein the plunger assembly is configured for moving the plunger head in the interior space based on at least one force applied to the plunger handle, wherein the brewing of the at least one beverage is further based on the moving of the plunger head in the interior space of the apparatus container, wherein the side wall comprises a cylindrical side wall, wherein the plunger head comprises a circular plate, wherein an outer edge of the circular plate is radially spaced inward from an inner surface of the side wall, wherein the plunger head comprises a scraping element coupled with the circular plate, wherein the scraping element radially extends outwards for radially interfacing with the inner surface of the side wall, wherein the circular plate comprises a radial cavity around the circular plate, wherein the scraping element is configured to be disposed in the radial cavity, wherein the scraping element is configured for transitioning between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the scraping element radially extends outwards for the radially interfacing with the inner surface of the side wall in the extended position, wherein the scraping element radially retracts in the radial cavity in the retracted position.
