An hourglass shaped apparatus for cold brewing coffee, comprising a brew chamber, an extract chamber and a center piece connecting the brew and extract chambers. The extract and brew chambers comprise two ends of the hourglass shaped apparatus and the center piece comprises middle portion. The brew chamber houses a free standing self-contained filter assembly containing coffee grounds inside a micro-fine wire mesh. Water is poured into the brew chamber to generate coffee extract through cold water infusion. After the brewing process, the apparatus is inverted, and the coffee travels into the extract chamber through the center piece for dispensing. Coffee brewed in this manner is less acidic and more flavorful than the conventionally hot-brewed beverage. All the components of the apparatus, the filter assembly, the brew chamber, the extract chamber, and the center tie piece, are detachable.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of brewing concentrated beverage extract, using a flip-action cold brew extract maker comprising a brew chamber and an extract chamber, the method comprising the steps of: a) filling a brew chamber with material to be extracted; b) filling the brew chamber with water; c) allowing the water to infuse into the material, generating an extract, and; d) inverting the extract maker, allowing the extract to fall into an extract chamber for dispensing, wherein after the material to be extracted is brewed, the extract maker is inverted to stand on the extract chamber, opposite the brewing chamber and filter, for collecting the extract. 2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the material to be extracted is coffee from ground coffee beans. 3. The method as recited in claim 2, further comprising the step of-opening the brew chamber and removing a filter. 4. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein the amount of coffee placed in the brew chamber is approximately 2 cups by volume. 5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the extract maker further comprises an hourglass shaped middle unit. 6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the step of inverting the extract maker includes grabbing the extract maker at the center of the hourglass shaped middle unit. 7. The method as recited in claim 6, wherein after the extract is decanted into a vessel for storage under refrigeration for up to two weeks. 8. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein said extract maker comprises a first container having a base and side walls forming an interior volume, and an opening opposite said base. 9. The method as recited in claim 8, wherein said extract maker comprises a second container having a base and side walls forming an interior volume, and an opening opposite said base. 10. The method as recited in claim 9, wherein said first container and said second container are capable of forming a water impermeable seal at said first container opening and said second container opening wherein a filter fits within said first container. 11. The method as recited in claim 10, whereby when the filter is secured within the first container said filter forms a hermetic seal between the interior volume of the filter and the interior volume of said first container. 12. A method of brewing coffee extract, using a flip-action cold brew extract maker, comprising the steps of: a) opening a brew chamber and removing a filter; b) placing the filter on a flat surface resting on legs of the filter to receive a coffee; c) replacing the filter and filling the brew chamber with water; d) allowing the water to infuse into the coffee, generating a coffee extract, and; e) inverting the extract maker, allowing the extract to fall into an extract chamber for dispensing. 13. A method of brewing coffee extract using a flip-action cold brew extract maker comprising a brew chamber and an extract chamber, comprising the steps of: a) filling a brew chamber with coffee; b) filling the brew chamber with water; c) standing the extract maker upright in a vertical position on a flat surface resting on a base of the brew chamber for at least about 12 hours at room temperature allowing the water to infuse into the coffee, thereby generating an extract, and; d) inverting the extract maker, allowing the extract to fall into an extract chamber for dispensing. 14. The method as recited in claim 13, wherein the brewing step includes resting the base comprising a plurality of gripping pads for providing grip to the extract maker.
