1. Device for brewing beverages, in particular hot beverages, such as coffee and tea, which device comprises a filter unit, a brewing housing which interacts with the filter unit and can move up and down with respect to the filter unit and has an at least partially open base, a collection chamber which is in communication with the filter unit for collecting and discharging the prepared beverage, a feeder for feeding starting materials for the beverage which is to be prepared and water to the brewing housing, and a control device for controlling the filter unit, the brewing housing, the collection chamber and the feeder wherein the control device controls the brewing housing to make a sudden downward stroke which clears the residue from the brewing housing. 2. Device according to claim 1, wherein the control device comprises a driven shaft which is connected, via a system of cams, to a lifting arm which at one end is arranged so that it can pivot about a horizontal pin and at the other end bears the brewing housing. 3. Device according to claim 2, wherein the system of cams comprises a first cam, which is rigidly connected to the driven shaft and which comprises a first cam body, the outer periphery of which is of a suitable shape for executing the sudden downward stroke of the brewing housing, and a first cam follower which is in contact with the outer periphery of the first cam. 4. Device according to claim 2, wherein the system of cams comprises a second cam, which is rigidly connected to the lifting arm, can move vertically and comprises a cam body in which there is an elbow-shaped cam track, the elbow-shaped cam track comprising a vertical section which, at the bottom, transforms into a horizontal section in which a second cam follower is arranged displaceably. 5. Device according to claim 1, wherein the device comprises a discontinuous drive for discontinuously driving the transport of filter material in strip form. 6. Device according to claim 5, wherein the discontinuous drive comprises a partially toothed wheel which is attached to a driven shaft and, via a toothed gearing, discontinuously drives a filter transport reel. 7. Device according to claim 1, wherein a counterpressure member for exerting pressure on the filter material in strip form is arranged in the centre of and opposite to a filter transport reel. 8. Device according to claim 7, wherein the counterpressure member comprises one or more wheels which can rotate freely and are attached to one end of a clamping arm which can pivot about an axis.
