Abstract
A device for brewing coffee, tea and the like. A rotor with three circumferentially spaced cells is mounted for a stepwise rotary movement within a cylindrical housing to move each of the cells successively to each of three circumferentially spread locations, where an ingredient's inlet, a filter and a discharge opening for dregs respectively are provided. A source of pressurized air is provided at a location within a transitional area between the ingredient's inlet location and the filter location so as to be active as an agitation means in the filling and extracting phase and as a means for expelling the extract in the filter phase.
