  • Publication number: 20150223628
    Abstract: A portable brewing device includes a container and a top assembly removably attachable to the container. The top assembly is configured to receive a brewing agent and is fluidly connected to the container through a filter. When the device is flipped upside down, liquid can flow from the container body through the filter and into the top assembly. When the beverage has steeped a desired amount, the device can be turned right side up to separate the liquid from any remaining brewing agent. The top assembly can be removed and the beverage is now ready to be drunk from the container. An improved sealing system can be used to prevent leaks, particularly when the device is upside down. In addition, an improved filter system can allow for the quick and proper movement of liquid between the container and top assembly.
