The present invention relates to a gravity-flow displacement beverage brewing apparatus with a water flow control device. The water flow control device is attached to a rotatable lid and is opened and closed by the device user. Rotating the lid to an open position allows the user to pour cool water into a fill basin, and simultaneously closes the flow control device, so heated water cannot flow into the brewing basket. When the lid is rotated to a closed position, the user is prevented from adding more water to the fill basin, but the flow control device is opened, allowing heated water to flow into the brewing basket.
