Beverage Brewing Device

1. A beverage brewing device for use with a single serve beverage brewer having an inlet probe for dispensing water and an outlet probe, the beverage brewing device comprising:

(a) a body having at least one substantially vertical sidewall, a top opening, and a bottom surface intersecting the at least one substantially vertical sidewall, wherein the at least one substantially vertical sidewall and the bottom surface of the body define a brew chamber configured to contain a dry beverage medium;

(b) first and second receptacles defined in the body and extending from the bottom surface of the body into the brew chamber, wherein the first and second receptacles are fluidly isolated from the brew chamber to prevent fluid from exiting the brew chamber through the first and second receptacles, wherein the first and second receptacles are 180° apart on the bottom surface of the body;

(c) first and second grips defined at an upper end of the body positioned 180° apart on the upper end of the body, and wherein the first and second grips are located on the body in a position that is offset 90° from the position of the first and second receptacles on the bottom surface of the body;

(d) a lid removably securable to the body, the lid engageable with the body to selectively enclose a top opening of the body;

(e) an inlet probe opening defined in the lid; and

(f) at least one filter defined within the body, the at least one filter configured to retain the dry beverage medium within the brew chamber while allowing a brewed beverage to pass through the brew chamber.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second grips are sized and configured to dissipate heat from the body of the beverage brewing device.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the lid is hingedly secured to the body.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one filter is integrally formed within the body.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a receptacle plug disposed within the lid, the receptacle plug defining the inlet probe opening.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the receptacle plug is overmolded on the lid.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the body and the lid are formed from metal.

8. A beverage brewing device for use with a single serve beverage brewer having a brewing holster, an inlet probe for dispensing water, the inlet probe moveable between a non-brewing position and a brewing position, and an outlet probe extending upwardly into the brewing holster for outleting a brewed beverage, the beverage brewing device comprising:

(a) a body removably receivable within a brewing holster of a single serve beverage brewer, the body having at least one substantially vertical sidewall, a top opening, and a bottom surface intersecting the at least one substantially vertical sidewall, wherein the at least one substantially vertical sidewall and the bottom surface of the body define a brew chamber configured to contain a dry beverage medium;

(b) at least one outlet probe receptacle defined in the body and extending from the bottom surface of the body and into the brew chamber such that the at least one outlet probe receptacle is configured to receive an outlet probe of the single serve beverage brewer when the body is received within the brewing holster, wherein the at least one outlet probe receptacle is fluidly isolated from the brew chamber to prevent the outlet probe from penetrating the brew chamber, thereby preventing fluid from exiting the brew chamber through the outlet probe;

(c) a lid removably securable to the body, the lid engageable with the body to selectively enclose a top opening of the body;

(d) an inlet probe opening defined in the lid, the inlet probe opening configured to receive an inlet probe of the single serve beverage brewer in a brewing position for placing the inlet probe into fluid communication with the brew chamber; and

(e) at least one filter defined within the body, the at least one filter configured to retain the dry beverage medium within the brew chamber while allowing the brewed beverage to exit the brew chamber.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein first and second outlet probe receptacles are defined in the body and extend from the bottom surface of the body into the brew chamber, and wherein the first and second outlet probe receptacles are positioned substantially 180° apart on the bottom surface of the body.

10. The device of claim 9 , further comprising first and second grips defined at an upper end of the body positioned substantially 180° apart on the upper end of the body, and wherein the first and the second grips are located on the body in a position that is offset 90° from the position of the first and the second outlet probe receptacles on the bottom surface of the body.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the first and second grips are sized and configured to dissipate heat from the body of the beverage brewing device.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the lid is hingedly secured to the body.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one filter is integrally formed within the body.

14. The device of claim 8 , further comprising a receptacle plug disposed within the lid, the receptacle plug defining the inlet probe opening.

15. The device of claim 8 , wherein the receptacle plug is overmolded on the lid.

16. The device of claim 8 , wherein the body and the lid are formed from metal.

17. A beverage brewing device for use with a single serve beverage brewer having an inlet probe for dispensing water and an outlet probe, the beverage brewing device comprising:

(a) a body defining a brew chamber configured to contain a dry beverage medium;

(b) at least one receptacle defined in the body and extending from a bottom surface of the body, wherein the at least one receptacle is fluidly isolated from the brew chamber to prevent fluid from exiting the brew chamber through the at least one receptacle;

(c) a lid removably securable to the body, the lid engageable with the body to selectively enclose a top opening of the body in a closed position;

(d) a dispersion cone assembly for distributing water into the brew chamber, comprising:

(i) a dispersion cone opening defined in the lid having a dispersion cone opening diameter;

(ii) a dispersion cone body integrally formed within the lid and extending from an interior surface of the lid into the brew chamber when the lid is in the closed position, wherein the dispersion cone body includes a plurality of substantially uniformly distributed openings defined in the dispersion cone body that are in fluid communication with the dispersion cone opening and the brew chamber;

(e) a receptacle plug sealed within the lid and enclosing a portion of the dispersion cone opening such that the receptacle plug and the dispersion cone opening define a sealed water chamber for receiving and pressurizing water, the receptacle plug defining an inlet opening having an inlet opening diameter smaller than the dispersion cone opening diameter, wherein the inlet opening is in fluid communication with the dispersion cone opening, and wherein each of the plurality of openings formed within the dispersion cone body are smaller in diameter than the inlet opening diameter; and

(f) a filter defined in the body, the filter configured to retain the dry beverage medium within the brew chamber while allowing a brewed beverage to pass through the brew chamber.
