The receptacle is configured to receive and hold beverage brewing material and to be placed in a brewing chamber of the beverage brewer, and includes a base, and a sidewall extending from the base and terminating in an open end. The lid is configured to engage with the open end of the sidewall to cover the open end at least partially, and includes a plurality of lid openings configured to receive a corresponding respective plurality of injection nozzles of the beverage brewer. The receptacle base and/or the receptacle sidewall includes a receptacle opening configured to allow fluid flow from an interior of the receptacle to an exterior of the receptacle. The selective obstruction is configured to selectively block one or more of the lid openings.

Claims (44)

1. A brewing material container for a beverage brewer, comprising:

a receptacle configured to receive and hold beverage brewing material and to be placed in a brewing chamber of the beverage brewer; and

a lid;

wherein the receptacle includes

a base, and

a sidewall extending from the base and terminating in an open top end and a bottom edge;

wherein the lid is configured to engage with the open top end of the sidewall to at least partially cover the open top end;

wherein the lid includes a plurality of lid openings configured to receive a corresponding respective plurality of injection nozzles of the beverage brewer;

wherein at least one of the base and the sidewall includes a receptacle opening configured to allow fluid flow from an interior of the receptacle to an exterior of the receptacle;

wherein the brewing material container further comprises a selective obstruction configured to selectively block one or more of the lid openings; and

wherein at least a portion of the base is spaced from the bottom edge of the sidewall to accommodate an outflow nozzle of the beverage brewer.

2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction includes a plug configured to be removably coupled to a selected lid opening to prevent fluid communication through the selected lid opening.

3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction includes a valve configured to be coupled to a selected lid opening to control fluid communication through the selected lid opening.

4. The container of claim 3 , wherein the valve is a duck-bill valve.

5. The container of claim 3 , wherein the valve is an umbrella valve.

6. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction includes a mat configured to be coupled to the lid and to cover one or more selected lid openings to control fluid communication through the one or more selected lid openings.

7. The container of claim 6 , wherein the mat includes at least one plug.

8. The container of claim 6 , wherein the mat includes at least one valve.

9. The container of claim 8 , wherein the at least one valve includes a slit in the mat.

10. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction includes a rotatable disk configured to be coupled to the lid and to cover one or more selected lid openings to control fluid communication through the one or more selected lid openings.

11. The container of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the base and the sidewall includes a recessed enclosure.

12. The container of claim 1 , wherein the lid openings are through-holes, and the lid further includes dispersion bays arranged at the through-holes and configured to protrude toward an interior of the receptacle when the lid engages with the open end of the sidewall to at least partially cover the open end.

13. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction is configured to couple with the lid such that the selective obstruction is arranged in an interior of the receptacle when the lid engages with the open end of the sidewall.

14. The container of claim 1 , wherein the selective obstruction is configured to couple with the lid such that the selective obstruction is arranged below the open end of the sidewall when the lid engages with the open end of the sidewall.

15. The container of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle opening is a plurality of receptacle openings in at least one of the base and the sidewall.

16. The container of claim 15 , further comprising a mesh material arranged to cover at least the plurality of receptacle openings.

17. The container of claim 1 , wherein the receptacle opening includes a perforated portion of at least one of the base and the sidewall.

18. A brewing material container for a beverage brewer, comprising:

holding means for receiving and holding beverage brewing material and for placement in a brewing chamber of the beverage brewer, wherein the holding means includes base means, and sidewall means for extending from the base means and terminating in an open top end and a bottom edge; and

covering means for engaging with the open top end of the sidewall means and at least partially covering the open top end;

wherein the covering means includes a plurality of cover receiving means for receiving a corresponding respective plurality of injection nozzles of the beverage brewer;

wherein at least one of the base means and the sidewall means includes fluid flow means for allowing fluid flow from an interior of the holding means to an exterior of the holding means;

wherein the brewing material container further comprises selective obstruction means for selectively blocking one or more of the cover receiving means; and

wherein at least a portion of the base means is spaced from the bottom edge of the sidewall means to accommodate an outflow nozzle of the beverage brewer.

19. The container of claim 18 , wherein the cover receiving means include through-holes.

20. The container of claim 19 , wherein the cover receiving means further includes dispersion means arranged at the through-holes, for protruding toward an interior of the holding means when the covering means engages with the open end of the sidewall means to at least partially cover the open end.

21. The container of claim 20 , wherein the dispersion means include flow control means for allowing fluid to pass through the dispersion means and for directing flow of the fluid toward the interior of the holding means.

22. The container of claim 18 , wherein a portion of the sidewall means is recessed inward toward an interior of the holding means.

23. The container of claim 18 , wherein the selective obstruction means includes valve means for coupling with a selected cover receiving means for controlling fluid communication through the selected cover receiving means.

24. The container of claim 18 , wherein the selective obstruction means includes a mat for coupling with the covering means for covering one or more selected cover receiving means for controlling fluid communication through the one or more selected cover receiving means.

25. The container of claim 24 , wherein the mat includes at least one plug.

26. The container of claim 18 , wherein the fluid flow means includes a plurality of fluid flow means in at least one of the base means and the sidewall means.

27. The container of claim 26 , further comprising screen means for covering at least the plurality of fluid flow means to allow fluid flow from the interior of the holding means to the exterior of the holding means while retaining the beverage brewing material in the interior of the holding means.
