A method for producing a beverage from an infusible material such as coffee or tea by contacting the material with aqueous medium such as hot water in successive discrete portions, each successive portion re-suspending and re-agitating the material to increase extraction efficiency. The infusible material is preferably enclosed in a disposable brewing container such as a sachet or capsule, the aqueous medium injected therein in successive cycles.

A method of producing an infused beverage by brewing an infusible material with a fresh, unbrewed, aqueous medium, which comprises maintaining the infusible material in an enclosed brewing chamber having a filter such that the aqueous medium may be contacted with the infusible material and pass through the filter to leave the infusible material behind, contacting the infusible material with said aqueous medium in a plurality of successive discrete aqueous medium portions by introducing each of said portions of aqueous medium into the chamber and over said infusible material under a pressure greater than atmospheric and sufficient to suspend and agitate the majority of the infusible material, at least a part of each of said portions being displaced from the infusible material as an infused liquid before the next succeeding said portion resuspends and re-agitates the infusible material, and collecting the plurality of infused liquid to form said beverage, and wherein said displacement of said infused liquid also occurs under pressure greater than atmospheric.
