A sealed container has a partition in the form of a filter (2) which separates the container into an upper chamber (3) containing a material 5 from which a beverage can be made by the addition of liquid and a lower reservoir chamber (4). A stepped shoulder (11) around the periphery of the container provides a surface to which the filter is attached. The upper chamber (3) can have a removable lid (6). A portion (7) in the base of the container has a thinner portion so that it can be readily pierced to provide an opening (71). Alternatively the base of the container can be formed with an outwardly directed projection which can be removed by cutting or tearing to provide an opening. The container may contain nitrogen. In use the lid (6) is removed, the portion (7) pierced and hot water poured onto the coffee which filters through the filter (2) into a cup placed beneath. <IMAGE> |
