Abstract
A filter paper cup manufacturing machine produces filter paper cups packaging suitable for containing a brewing material. The filter paper cup packaging has similar depth and diameter. The machine exercises ordered steps of first cutting a receptacle portion and cover portion for each individual packaging and then forming a recess in the receptacle portion for receiving the brewing material. Performing the cutting step first facilitates forming the recess because surrounding filter paper which would resist forming the recess has been eliminated.
