The present invention is directed to a filter basket having a wall configured to form a basket. The wall has a drain hole formed in a lower portion thereof and a regulating member for regulating a flow of liquid flowing through the basket into the drain hole. One embodiment includes a pair of planar surfaces positioned within the basket and connected to an inner surface of the wall; the pair of planar surfaces define a longitudinal slot therebetween. The size of the slot is configured to restrict the flow of fluid through the basket to maintain a predetermined level of fluid within the basket for a predetermined dwell period of about five minutes to about seven minutes. A method of brewing a beverage is also disclosed including the steps of placing a plurality of beverage flavor elements within a filter basket, dispensing water over the plurality of beverage flavor elements within the filter basket at a predetermined flow rate, providing structure within the filter basket to restrict the flow of water through the filter basket such that a level of water in the basket rises to a predetermined level at which the flow rate of water into the filter basket equals a flow rate of water out of the basket, and continuing dispensing water over the plurality of beverage flavor elements for a predetermined dwell period after the flow rate of water into the filter basket equals the flow rate of water out of the basket.

A vertical hollow cylinder has a first vertical hollow tube on its periphery which extends upwardly above the upper cylinder end and terminates in a hollow horizontal extension having a downwardly disposed discharge orifice overlying the open cylinder end. A vertical hollow cylindrical member has an upper end being disposed adjacent but below the horizontal tube extension and lower end adjacent but below the upper cylinder. The member is peripherally secured to the first tube and being horizontally pivotable between a closed position at which the cylinder and member are vertically aligned and an open position at which the member is swung outwardly with respect to the cylinder. A second vertical hollow tube has a first opening which communicates with the interior of the member at a point disposed above its inner surface. A third vertical hollow tube engaging the second tube has a second opening communicating with said inner surface. The third tube has an open lower end disposed adjacent the lower end of the second tube. The lower end of the third tube can be opened or closed manually.
