1. A holder, comprising:

a holder base; and

a holder lid;

wherein the holder base includes:

a sidewall, defining an interior space and having an open top end and an open bottom end; and

a partition arranged within the interior space of the sidewall, in contact with an interior surface of the sidewall between the open top end and the open bottom end, thereby dividing the interior space and defining an upper interior portion and a lower interior portion;

wherein the sidewall includes at least one sidewall opening separated from the open top end;

wherein the holder lid is configured to removably sealingly engage with the open top end of the sidewall, wherein the holder lid includes a holder lid opening; and

wherein the holder is configured to accept input fluid through the holder lid opening and to provide a corresponding outflow of fluid through the at least one sidewall opening.

2. The holder of claim 1 , further comprising a filter that is configured to be held within the base.

3. The holder of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one sidewall opening is at least partially covered by a screen material.

4. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidewall opening is four sidewall openings.

5. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the holder lid is configured to repeatedly removably engage with the top edge of the sidewall.

6. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the lower interior portion is configured to provide distance for the partition to avoid a lower nozzle of a beverage brewer.

7. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the sidewall surrounds a periphery of the partition.

8. The holder of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one sidewall opening spans the enclosed upper interior portion and the enclosed lower interior portion.

9. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the partition is arranged to provide a bottom platform for the upper interior portion.

10. The holder of claim 1 , wherein the upper interior portion is configured to hold a filter, and the partition is arranged to provide a bottom support for the upper interior portion.

11. The holder of claim 2 , wherein the filter is a cup made of filter material, configured to receive and hold ground brewing material.

12. The holder of claim 4 , wherein points at which the partition is in contact with the interior surface of the sidewall define a cross shape of the partition.

13. A holder, comprising:

a holder base; and

a holder lid;

wherein the holder base includes:

a bottom, and

a sidewall extending from the bottom;

wherein the bottom and the sidewall define a filter space of the holder base;

wherein the sidewall includes a top edge opposite the bottom;

wherein the sidewall includes at least one sidewall opening separated from the top edge, and the bottom includes at least one bottom opening;

wherein the holder lid is configured to repeatedly removably sealingly engage with the top edge of the sidewall, wherein the holder lid includes a holder lid opening;

wherein the holder is configured to accept input fluid through the holder lid opening and to provide a corresponding outflow of fluid through the at least one sidewall opening and the at least one bottom opening; and

wherein the top edge of the sidewall and the holder lid are configured to secure a rim of a filter at least partially arranged in the filter space when the holder lid is engaged with the top edge of the sidewall.

14. The container of claim 2 , wherein the sidewall encloses the bottom at a fixed distance from a bottom edge of the sidewall.

15. The holder of claim 13 , further comprising a filter configured to be at least partially held in the filter space, wherein the filter includes a filter lid configured to be arranged on the rim.

16. The holder of claim 13 , wherein the at least one sidewall opening is at least partially covered by a screen material.

17. The holder of claim 13 , wherein the holder base openings are four holder base openings.

18. The holder of claim 13 , further comprising a cup made of filter material, configured to be at least partially held in the filter space and to receive and hold ground brewing material.

19. The holder of claim 13 , wherein the holder lid is configured to sealingly engage with the top edge of the sidewall.

20. The holder of claim 13 , wherein the holder is configured to accept input fluid through the holder lid opening and to provide a corresponding filtered outflow of fluid through the at least one sidewall opening and the at least one bottom opening.

21. A beverage brewing holder, comprising:

a holder base; and

a holder lid;

wherein the holder base includes:

a bottom,

a sidewall extending from the bottom and having a top edge opposite the bottom, defining a filter space, and

a plurality of holder base openings, separated from the top edge, providing fluid communication between an interior of the holder base and an exterior of the holder base;

wherein the holder lid is configured to repeatedly removably engage with the top edge of the sidewall, wherein the holder lid includes a holder lid opening;

wherein the holder is configured to accept input fluid through the holder lid opening and to provide a corresponding outflow of fluid through the holder base openings; and

wherein the top edge of the sidewall and the holder lid are configured to secure a rim of a filter at least partially arranged in the filter space when the holder lid is engaged with the top edge of the sidewall.

22. The holder of claim 21 , further comprising a filter configured to be at least partially held in the filter space, wherein the filter includes a filter lid configured to be arranged on the rim.

23. The holder of claim 21 , wherein the at least one holder base opening includes a sidewall opening.

24. The holder of claim 21 , wherein the holder is configured to accept input fluid through the holder lid opening and to provide a corresponding filtered outflow of fluid through the holder base openings.
