Abstract: A coffee brewing apparatus comprising a canister for holding coffee grounds and hot water in which the coffee brews. The canister has a closable opening through which the coffee grounds and hot water are poured. A filter covers an opening at the bottom of the canister through which brewed coffee flows out of the canister. A hand pump is coupled to an opening in the canister, operable to increase air pressure inside the canister. The canister inhibits the leakage of air or liquid while the coffee is brewing. The hand pump is used to increase air pressure inside the canister to a high pressure sufficient to push the brewed coffee through the filter and out of the canister.
