What is claimed is: 1. A beverage brewer device, adapted to discharge fresh extractable ingredients to a liquid receiving container there below, the device comprising: a brewing cup having an open top and having a liquid pervious bottom, adapted for holding a quantity of an infusible material for a certain time limit to allow a stirring action before dispensing the brewed beverage therefrom into the liquid receiving container; at least one sheet of filter element sealed along a perimeter of a bottom base of the brewing cup by a non-toxic meltable substance and thereby sealed unto the bottom base of the brewing cup; a plurality of perforations formed in the bottom base of the brewing cup wherein each of the perforations has an area of at least about 25 millimeters square and wherein the perforations are separated from each other by at least about 2 millimeters; at least one concave shape vent disposed on a lower part of an outer wall of the brewing cup and configured to allow escape of steam from the liquid receiving container during brewing; and a sit-on-ring configured to support the brewing cup on the liquid receiving container, said sit-on-ring comprising: a tapered frustoconical shaped annular ring; and a plurality of supporting legs extending generally radially from said annular shaped ring, said legs each including at least one ridge feature configured to receive a rim of the liquid receiving container and to removably fix the sit-on-ring to the liquid receiving container. 2. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said brewing cup is fabricated from a material selected from a group consisting of polystyrene compounds, plastic, organic Bio-degradable polymer, non organic polymer, modified and unmodified organic fibers and or pulp and or starch, and coated paperboard. 3. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said brewing cup is fabricated from a combination of material selected from a group consisting of polystyrene compounds, plastic organic and or non organic Bio-degradable polymer, and or modified and or unmodified organic fibers and or pulp and or starch, and coated paperboard. 4. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lower wall of said brewing cup is circular in cross section. 5. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said perforations are arranged at least three millimeters apart from one to another. 6. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said perforations has a cross-sectional area of about 28 millimeters square. 7. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said filter element is heat-sealed over an area as wide as about five millimeters circling along the outer edge unto the bottom base of said brewing cup. 8. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said at least one concave shaped vents comprises a plurality of vents spaced equally unto four sides of the brewing cup. 9. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein said at least one concave shaped vent comprises an inwardly concaved corner as deep as six millimeters, and as wide as one centimeter that tapers upwardly as high as two and half centimeters of said brewing cup outer wall. 10. The device as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a polystyrene sheet attachable unto said bottom part of the outer side of the brewing cup, wherein the polystyrene sheet delimits the vent. 11. The device as set forth in claim 10 wherein said polystyrene sheet is rectangular in shape with an approximate three millimeter thickness, a length of about two and half centimeters, and a width of about two centimeters. 12. The device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said supporting sit-on-ring has an upper diameter of about 7.5 cm and a bottom diameter of about 7.3 cm. 13. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the perforations are generally circular in shape. 14. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the device comprises two of said concave shaped vents, and wherein the vents are disposed generally opposite from one another proximate to the perimeter of the bottom base. 15. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the perforations are separated from one another by about three millimeters. 16. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the legs of the sit-on-ring extend radially beyond the perimeter of the brewing cup. 17. The device set forth in claim 1, wherein the legs have an upper surface and an opposing lower surface and wherein the ridge feature comprises a plurality of ridges disposed on the lower surface extending in a first direction away from the upper surface and in a second direction generally concentric to the annular ring. 18. The device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the ridges are configures to receive the rim of the liquid receiving container so as to prevent horizontal movement of the sit-on-ring relative to the liquid receiving container and so as to permit vertical movement of the sit-on-ring relative to the liquid receiving container. 19. The device set forth in claim 1, wherein said plurality of supporting legs comprises at least three supporting legs.
