1. A method of brewing a beverage using an apparatus comprising an elongated member having a plurality of brewing chambers, a filter adapted to fit over the plurality of brewing chambers, and an elongated housing member adapted to fit over the filter, the method comprising: separating the elongated housing member from a base of the apparatus to reveal at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers;filling the at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers with granules;coupling the elongated housing member to the base of the apparatus;applying heat to a liquid; andsubmerging at least a portion of the apparatus into the liquid such that said liquid contacts said granules to such extent that the liquid becomes a brewed beverage. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongated housing member comprises a guide on an exterior surface of the elongated housing member indicating an amount of brewing chambers to fill with granules to make a stronger or a weaker beverage. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein granules filled in the brewing chambers will float to the top of the individual chambers when the apparatus is submerged in the liquid. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongated member comprising a plurality of disks stacked along an axis of the elongated member, the filter and the plurality of disks forming the plurality of brewing chambers. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the elongated member comprises a plurality of spaced-apart elements stacked on the elongated member with the elongated member running through the center of the spaced-apart elements, the filter and the spaced-apart elements forming the plurality of brewing chambers. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the filter comprises a slot and wherein the elongated housing member comprises first and second slots on opposite sides of the elongated housing member. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of brewing chambers are filled with granules through the slot of the filter. 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the liquid flows through the first and second slots of the elongated housing member when the apparatus is submerged in the liquid. 9. The method of claim 6, wherein the first slot of the elongated housing member has a width that encompasses about 30 to about 90 degrees of the diameter of the elongated housing member. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein the second slot of the elongated housing member comprises a plurality of diagonal slots along the length of the elongated housing member. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the elongated member comprises a thermometer. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the filter comprises a material selected from the group consisting of: filter paper, plastic, metal, synthetic material, and combinations thereof 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the filter comprises a structural support member extending along an axis of the filter. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the beverage is selected from the group consisting of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. 15. A method of brewing a beverage using an apparatus comprising an elongated member having a plurality of brewing chambers, a filter adapted to fit over the plurality of brewing chambers, and an elongated housing member adapted to fit over the filter, the method comprising: rotating the filter with respect to the elongated housing member to reveal at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers;filling the at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers with granules;rotating the filter with respect to the elongated housing member to conceal the at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers;applying heat to a liquid; andsubmerging at least a portion of the apparatus into the liquid such that said liquid contacts said granules to such extent that the liquid becomes a brewed beverage. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the filter is rotated with respect to the elongated housing member by rotating a base coupled to the filter. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the filter comprises a slot and wherein the elongated housing member comprises a slot. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising the step of aligning the slot of the filter with the slot of the elongated housing member to reveal at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the filter is rotated with respect to the elongated housing member until the slot of the filter is spaced about 90 degrees from the slot of the elongated housing member to conceal the at least one of the plurality of brewing chambers. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the base and the elongated housing member comprise markings for assisting a user to align the slot of the filter with the slot of the elongated housing member.
