1. A portable automatic beverage brewing device consisting of a unitary drinking vessel comprising a plurality of components including: a) a liquid container having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a vertical axis, a depth, and a volume;b) at least two guide channels extending at least a portion of the depth along the interior surface of the liquid container;c) a heating element;d) a receptacle for receiving infusible material configured in the top of the drinking vessel and configured to translate down and into said liquid container comprising: i. a plurality of guide elements configured to align with and couple with said at least two guide channels to guide said receptacle when said receptacle is translated down into said liquid container;ii. a threaded hole;e) liquid temperature sensor;f) a heating element temperature sensor;g) a power supply;h) an on/off button;i) a controller;j) a base configured under said liquid container;k) an electric motor;l) a threaded shaft extending from said base and up through said liquid container and into said threaded hole in said receptacle; andm) a drinking port, wherein said plurality of components are attached to said drinking vessel,wherein the threaded shaft is centrally coupled to said electric motor and with said threaded hole in said receptacle, wherein said plurality of guide elements couple with said at least two guide channels to prevent said receptacle from turning when said threaded shaft turns within said threaded hole, whereby the electric motor turns the threaded shaft and said threaded shaft turns within said threaded hole to translate the receptacle into and out of a liquid within said liquid container, wherein said controller of the automatic beverage brewing device is configured to automatically translate the receptacle into and out of a liquid contained within the liquid container, thereby brewing a beverage for consumption directly from said portable and automatic beverage brewing device. 2. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the heating element is a flexible heating element and is positioned around at least a portion of the exterior surface of the liquid container. 3. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the power supply comprises batteries. 4. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the power supply comprises an electrical connection port. 5. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the receptacle can be detached from the unitary drinking vessel. 6. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the infusible material is coffee. 7. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the volume of the liquid container is no more than 24 ounces. 8. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 1, wherein the volume of the liquid container is no more than 12 ounces. 9. A portable and automatic beverage brewing device comprising a unitary drinking vessel comprising a plurality of components including: a) a liquid container having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a vertical axis, a depth, and a volume;b) at least two guide channels extending at least a portion of the depth along the interior surface of the liquid container;c) a heating element;d) a receptacle for receiving infusible material configured in the top of the drinking vessel comprising a plurality of guide elements configured to align with and fit within the at least two guide channels to guide said receptacle when said receptacle is translated down and into said liquid container;e) liquid temperature sensor;f) a heating element temperature sensor;g) a power supply;h) an on/off button;i) a controller;j) a timing device;k) a base;l) a drinking port; andm) at least one electromagnet configured in said base, wherein said plurality of components are attached to said drinking vessel,wherein the at least one electromagnet is configured to translate the receptacle into and out of a liquid contained within the liquid container, whereby the at least one electromagnet configured in said base is activated by said timing device and attracts the receptacle, and whereby said at least one electromagnet is configured to be stationary, thereby brewing a beverage for consumption directly from the vessel. 10. The portable and automatic beverage brewing device of claim 9, wherein the receptacle for receiving infusible material comprises a magnet coupled thereto, whereby said magnet is attracted to the at least one electromagnet. 11. A portable automatic beverage brewing device consisting of a unitary drinking vessel comprising a plurality of components including: a) a liquid container having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a vertical axis, a depth, and a volume;b) at least two liquid container guide elements extending out and into said liquid container and along at least a portion of the depth along the interior surface of the liquid container;c) a heating element;d) a receptacle for receiving infusible material configured in the top of the drinking vessel and configured to translate down and into said liquid container comprising: i. a plurality of receptacle guide elements configured to align with and couple with said at least two guide elements of said liquid container to guide said receptacle when said receptacle is translated down into said liquid container;ii. a threaded hole;e) liquid temperature sensor;f) a heating element temperature sensor;g) a power supply;h) an on/off button;i) a controller;j) a base configured under said liquid container;k) an electric motor;l) a threaded shaft extending from said base and up through said liquid container and into said threaded hole in said receptacle; andm) a drinking port, wherein said plurality of components are attached to said drinking vessel,wherein the threaded shaft is centrally coupled to said electric motor and with said threaded hole in said receptacle, wherein said plurality of said receptacle guide elements couple with said at least two liquid container guide elements to prevent the receptacle from turning when said threaded shaft turns within said threaded hole, whereby the electric motor turns the threaded shaft and said threaded shaft turns within said threaded hole to translate the receptacle into and out of a liquid within said liquid container, wherein said controller of the automatic beverage brewing device is configured to automatically translate the receptacle into and out of a liquid contained within the liquid container, thereby brewing a beverage for consumption directly from said portable and automatic beverage brewing device.
