Abstract
A beverage brewing system works with a pod to brew low, medium and high pressure beverages in hot and/or cold format such as coffee and espresso served hot or over ice. The beverage ingredient may be packed within a filter which is enclosed by a container to hermetically seal the filter. The filter has a predetermined number and sized holes to control the pressure within the filter to brew low, medium, and high pressure beverages. The filter is releasably sealed to the container where separating the filter from the container forms a gap to allow the beverage formed within the pod to drain via the gap and directly pour into a mug.

A method of brewing a beverage with a pod including a container with a first sidewall extending upwardly from a first base and extending outwardly forming a rim, a filter having a second sidewall extending upwardly from a second base and extending outwardly to form an extension that is peelably coupled to the rim, and a lid to enclose beverage ingredient packed within the filter, the method comprising:
- orientating the pod in a substantially horizontal position;
- forming a gap between the extension of the filter and the rim of the container;
- extracting beverage from the beverage ingredient packed within the filter;
- and
- draining the beverage formed within the pod through a pathway formed between the first and second sidewalls and the gap.
