Abstract: A method for making a container includes forming a first cavity of a container by shaping an inner wall so that a first surface of the inner wall defines the first cavity; forming a second cavity of the container by shaping an outer wall so that a third surface of the outer wall surrounds a second surface of the inner wall such that together the third and second surfaces define the second cavity; and connecting the inner and outer walls together. The method then includes forming a hole through the outer wall to expose the second cavity to the outside ambient environment and then applying an enamel coating on at least one of the following: the first surface of the inner wall and a fourth surface of the outer wall that is exposed to the outside ambient environment, while preventing the enamel coating from being deposited in the hole. After the enamel coating is applied, the method includes heating the container to glaze the enamel coating and fix the coating to the one or more surfaces.

Abstract: A system for brewing a beverage such as tea and coffee, the system comprising: a container having a cavity to hold a liquid and grounds of material used to brew a beverage: a basket having a chamber to hold the grounds of material after the beverage is brewed: a press to move into the basket the grounds of material, and to remove the basket from the container's cavity to remove the grounds of material from the brewed beverage; a coupler to releasably secure the press to the basket when the press is positioned against the basket, the coupler being configured to secure the press to the basket while the basket's chamber holds grounds of material, and to keep the basket secured to the press while the press is removed from the beverage in the container's cavity; and wherein, while the beverage is brewing, the basket and the press are positioned inside the container's cavity such that the grounds of material are located between the basket and the press.
