Abstract
A beverage brewing device which includes a supply of heated water. A receptacle for receiving the heated water has a first open end and a second open end. The receptacle is movable between a brewing position for receiving a beverage material through the first open end and a retracted position for discharging the beverage material through the second open end. The first open end of the receptacle is in fluid communication with the supply of heated water when the receptacle is in the brewing position. A base plate is positioned in facing relationship with the second end of the receptacle when the receptacle is in the brewing position. An outlet conduit is releasably secured to the base plate for allowing brewed beverage to flow from the receptacle through the outlet conduit. A filter assembly is fixed with respect to the outlet conduit and is sealingly disposed between the outlet conduit and second end of the receptacle when the receptacle is in the brewing position. Both the filter assembly and the outlet conduit are quickly connectable and disconnectable from the base plate to facilitate cleaning.
