Abstract: A brew cartridge has a bowl with a flange extending laterally from its exterior and apertures in its bottom. A pod containing brewing material is located within the bowl and covered by a panel having apertures. Panel retention features in the interior of bowl keep the panel and pod in place. The brew cartridge fits in a brewing machine with a multiple piece chamber which matches the cartridge and clamps on the flange. The brew machine passes pressurized hot water through the cartridge to brew a beverage. The water enters through the panel and exerts at the bottom. Some embodiments of the cartridge have a drain bowl formed in the bottom of the bowl. The drain bowl has the apertures of the bottom of the bowl through and may have drain panel covering it.

Abstract: A foldable brew basket has a rectangular bottom panel with an aperture through it, four side panels, and at least two rim panels. Two of the side panels are made of sub-panels with hingeable interconnections, while two of the side panels are flat. Like side panels are hingeably attached to opposite edges of the rectangular bottom panel and hingeably connected at their ends to unlike side panels. The rim panels are hingeably attached to the top edge of like side panels. In a usable configuration, the foldable brew basket has its sides approximately vertical with the rim panels approximately horizontal. In a folded configuration, the flat sides are folded toward the center of the bottom panel, while the side panels having sub-panels fold either inwardly or outwardly, flexing between the sub-panels. Some embodiments will also have a water permeable filter pouch containing brewing material.
