A disposable filter press device for making a brewed beverage from a combination of liquid and material to be brewed includes a first disposable cup and a second disposable cup. The first disposable cup has a closed bottom, an open top and a sidewall extending around the entire circumferential extent of the first cup, while the second disposable cup is sized and configured to be positioned in the first cup. The second cup has a bottom end, an open top and a sidewall extending around the entire circumferential extent of the second cup. The second cup also includes a filter for filtering the brewed beverage from the material used to brew the brewed beverage as the second cup is moved relative to the first cup. The filter press device can also be provided with a mechanism for connecting the second cup to the first cup with the second cup being in an inverted, bottom end up position. The filter press device provides enhanced beverage taste over conventional drip brewed coffee, coffee ground or tea leaf separation from the brewed beverage, a spill proof closure of the brewed beverage cup, and improved insulation and structural rigidity of the cup both during and after brewing. Also, single-cup brewing, disposability and convenience are realized.
