Assemblies, systems, and devices are provided for the brewing of a beverage (e.g. coffee, or tea). The invention, in particular, provides a brew chamber assembly for an apparatus for preparing a beverage from an aqueous medium and a particulate beverage material; the chamber assembly may, for example, be used in automated beverage making machines. The brew chamber assembly may comprise a brewing vessel and a spent coffee grounds discharge mechanism. The brewing vessel comprises a floor and side wall elements. The spent particulate beverage material discharge mechanism comprises an exit element for venting spent particulate beverage material out of the brewing vessel and a spinable impellor for urging spent particulate beverage material out of the brew chamber through the exit element. |
