Abstract
A device for preparing a customizable brewed beverages comprising a housing; a fluid introduction site, located on the housing; and an ingredient extraction chamber enclosing a beverage ingredient, where the extraction chamber is contained within the confines of the housing and is connected to the fluid introduction site. The ingredient extraction chamber has a ratio of total ingredient extraction chamber volume, during extraction, to non-tamped, dry bulk ingredient volume in excess of about 1.0:1.0. The device further comprises a filter media connected to said ingredient extraction chamber, and an extraction exit site, also located on the housing. The device may optionally comprises an extraction collection chamber contained within the housing and connected to the ingredient extraction chamber. In use, the brewing device provides a brewed coffee beverage with a delta yield value in the range of about 1% to about 20%, a brew solids value in the range of about 0.2% to about 1.5%, in a brew preparation time of about 120 seconds or less.
