<p>A device (12, 26) for brewing a cup or other small portion of a beverage to a desired strength is disclosed. The suitable strength is achieved by controlling the volume of hot water contacting a prepackaged, disposable filter (104) containing beverage precursor particles. The device is adapted to control and vary the brewing process by regulating with some precision volume (X) of hot water flowing through the filter (108) and the volume (4) of hot water bypassing the filter (110) and flowing directly into a drinking cup (102) without having contacting the brew particles. Visual indicators are provided to facilitate choosing a brew of desired strength. The process for preparation of a brewed beverage to a desired strength is also disclosed.</p> |
