Abstract
A system for steeping beverages is disclosed. The system includes a filtration unit and dispensing mechanism with a steeping vessel. The dispensing mechanism includes a disk with apertures and a sleeve. The sleeve is coupled to the filtration unit and moves down and up within the steeping vessel to a closed and open position, respectively. With the dispensing mechanism in the closed position the sleeve engages the disk and holds a steeped liquid within the filtration unit. In the open position the sleeve disengages the disk allows the steeped liquid to flow into a capturing vessel through the apertures.
