An apparatus for brewing ground, brewable foodstuffs having a water reservoi r (102), a boiler (204), and a flow meter (200) all connected in as common flu id path with a pump (202) that produces a fluid pressure in the common fluid path. A pod holder (110) capable o 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, a fluid conduit (403, 404) is positioned to receive fluid passing through the sieved bottom and to convey the fluid in to one or more cups. With this apparatus a small quantity of a brewed liquid, such a 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 creati on of a crema layer in a coffee drink.
