Abstract
An apparatus for brewing ground, brewable foodstuffs having a water reservoir, a boiler, and a flow meter all connected in a common fluid path with a pump that produces a fluid pressure in the common fluid path. A pod holder capable of receiving a pod formed of filter material and containing a mass of ground, brewable foodstuffs having a sieved bottom is located so as to receive the metered volume of water from the common fluid path. In turn, an interchangeable or pivotally mounted fluid conduit is positioned to receive fluid passing through the sieved bottom and to convey the fluid into one or more cups. With this apparatus a small quantity of a brewed liquid, such as coffee, can be produced in a relatively short brewing period with a pleasing taste profile. The fluid pressure may also be adjusted so as to enhance the creation of a crema layer in a coffee drink.
