• and
• ii) a software module wirelessly transmitting the selected pre-configured brewing protocol or the consumer-configured custom brewing protocol to the portable beverage brewing device to regulate fluid flow to the brewing chamber to brew the brewing material.

A brewing canister for a beverage brewing device, the brewing canister comprising:

• a) an inner canister comprising at least one opening;
• b) an outer canister comprising at least one opening;
• the inner canister positioned at least partially within the outer canister and having a common rotational axis with the outer canister to form a brewing chamber configured to contain a brewing material;
• the inner canister, the outer canister, or both rotatable such that the at least one opening of the inner canister and the at least one opening of the outer canister align in an open position or unalign in a closed position;
• c) an actuator operable to rotate the inner canister, the outer canister, or both to modulate between the open position and the closed position, such that fluid located outside the brewing canister is able to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the open position and is unable to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the closed position;
• and
• d) a data processing unit including a processor to process data and a memory to store or buffer data, the data processing unit configured to send an alert pertaining to manual operation of the brewing canister actuator between the open position and the closed position to regulate flow of the fluid in and out of the brewing chamber to brew the brewing material.

A portable beverage brewing platform comprising:

• a) a portable beverage brewing device comprising:
• a container body open at one end and forming an interior chamber configured to contain a fluid;
• a brewing canister positioned in the interior chamber such that the brewing canister is at least partially submerged when the interior chamber contains a fluid, the brewing canister comprising:
• i) an inner canister comprising at least one opening and an outer canister comprising at least one opening;
• the inner canister positioned within the outer canister and having a common rotational axis with the outer canister to form a brewing chamber configured to contain a brewing material;
• the inner canister, the outer canister, or both rotatable such that the at least one opening of the inner canister and the at least one opening of the outer canister align in an open position or unalign in a closed position;
• ii) an actuator configured to rotate the inner canister, the outer canister, or both between the open position and the closed position, such that the fluid located in the interior chamber is able to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the open position and is unable to flow in and out of the brewing chamber when in the closed position;
• iii) a data processing unit including a processor to process data and a memory to store or buffer data, the data processing unit configured to send a control signal to the actuator to rotate the inner canister, the outer canister, or both the inner canister and the outer canister, between the open position and the closed position to regulate flow of the fluid in and out of the brewing chamber to brew the brewing material, wherein the actuator comprises a motor or a servo in communication with the data processing unit and wherein the control signal causes the motor or servo to rotate the inner canister, the outer canister, or both the inner canister and the outer canister between the open position and the closed position;
• and
• iv) a spinning apparatus in the interior chamber configured to stir the fluid and wherein each brewing protocol further comprises:
• when a spinning apparatus is initiated, the speed of a spinning apparatus, and the length of time of a spinning apparatus operates;
• and
• b) a mobile processor configured to provide a mobile consumer beverage brewing application comprising:
• i) a software module presenting a user interface allowing the consumer to select a pre-configured brewing protocol or configure a custom brewing protocol, wherein each brewing protocol comprises a brew temperature and a brew time;
• and
• ii) a software module wirelessly transmitting the selected pre-configured brewing protocol or the consumer-configured custom brewing protocol to the portable beverage brewing device.

A method of operating a beverage brewing device;

• the beverage brewing device comprising:
• a) a container body open at one end and forming an interior chamber configured to contain a fluid;
• a brewing canister positioned in the interior chamber such that the brewing canister is at least partially submerged when the interior chamber contains a fluid, the brewing canister comprising:
• i) an inner canister comprising at least one opening and an outer canister comprising at least one opening;
• the inner canister positioned within the outer canister and having a common rotational axis with the outer canister to form a brewing chamber configured to contain a brewing material;
• the inner canister, the outer canister, or both rotatable such that the at least one opening of the inner canister and the at least one opening of the outer canister align in an open position or unalign in a closed position;
