1. A brewing and filtering device comprising: a collapsible cup including a base and a folding sidewall comprising a plurality of foldable panels, wherein the sidewall includes a first end and a second end with the first end mated to the base and the second end extending from the base and defining a rim, wherein the base, sidewall, and rim define an open cavity, wherein the sidewall is moveable between a first configuration and a second configuration such that, in the first configuration, the panels are in an unfolded configuration locating the rim a first distance away from the base measured along a first axis and, in the second configuration, the panels are folded such that the panels collapse locating the rim a second distance away from the base measured along the first axis shorter than the first distance and locating the panels along a plane perpendicular to the first axis;a plunger secured to the base of the cup;a cup ring including an annular portion and an outer surface that extends outwardly from the annular portion, wherein the annular portion of the cup ring surrounds a portion of the sidewall of the cup adjacent the rim and includes a first set of threads; anda filter cap that includes a filter on a base portion and a second set of threads on an inner surface of an annular portion extending from the base portion, wherein the filter cap encloses the open cavity to permit a fluid to pass out of the cavity only through the filter;wherein the first set of threads of the cup ring engages the second set of threads of the filter cap; andwherein, in the second configuration, the plunger is positioned within the cup ring and the cup ring is positioned within the filter cap. 2. The brewing and filtering device of claim 1, wherein the sidewall is conical, wherein the panels increase in diameter from the base to the rim. 3. The brewing and filtering device of claim 1, wherein the plunger includes a pull tab. 4. The brewing and filtering device of claim 1, wherein the cup includes a base width perpendicular to the first axis and the plunger includes a plunger width perpendicular to the first axis, wherein the plunger width is greater than the base width. 5. The brewing and filtering device of claim 1, wherein the cup ring includes a surface, wherein, when the cup is in the second configuration, a first outer surface of the plunger, a second outer surface of the filter cap, and the surface define a continuous curving surface. 6. The brewing and filtering device of claim 1, wherein the filter cap includes a drip surface, and wherein the filter is secured to the drip surface with a diaphragm. 7. The brewing and filtering device of claim 6, further including a magnetic cover, wherein, when the cover is magnetically attached to the drip surface, the cover encloses the plurality of holes. 8.
