We claim: 1. An apparatus for brewing a liquid beverage with a beverage flavoring material comprising:a cup having an open top end and a closed bottom end;a sidewall extends from the bottom end to the open top end of the cup;a lid removably engages the open top end of the cup;the lid having a first lid opening and a second lid opening; the second lid opening is centrally disposed;the lid having a first lid end and a second lid end;a shaft, which slidably engages the centrally disposed second lid opening;the shaft has a first shaft end and a second shaft end;the first shaft end has an activation button;the second shaft end has a filter assembly;the lid further comprising an opening and closing mechanism for the first lid opening; the opening and closing mechanism comprising:a handle platform having a first handle platform end and a second handle platform end and a centrally located handle platform opening, which can slidably engage the shaft;the first handle platform end being able to engage the activation button;a cog structure, which can rotate around a vertical axis of the shaft; said cog structure having a first cog end and a second cog end and a centrally located cog structure opening, which can slidably engage the shaft;the second cog end being able to removably engage the second handle platform end and the second lid end;a plunger structure with a first plunger end and a second plunger end and a centrally located plunger opening, which can slidably engage the shaft;a spring;a spring housing with a first spring housing end and a second spring housing end and a centrally located spring housing opening, which can slidably engage the shaft;the first spring housing end is removably connected to the second lid end;the spring is placed between the second spring housing end and the second end of the plunger,whereby the sliding shaft allows movement of the filter apparatus to be moved from a first elevation to a lower second elevation to separate the beverage flavoring material from the liquid beverage and the opening and closing mechanism can assume a first closed position to a second open position.
