A brew basket is provided for use in a beverage brewing machine. The brew basket includes a body defining a brewing reservoir that extends along a longitudinal length from an open top to a bottom end having one or more openings. The brewing reservoir has an internally tapered multi-sided three-dimensional (3D) shape. The brewing reservoir having a first cross-sectional area at the open top that progressively narrows along the longitudinal length of the multi-sided 3D shape to a smaller second cross-sectional area proximate to the one or more openings at the bottom end. The open top is configured to receive heated water from the brewing machine during a brewing operation with brewed beverage discharging from the one or more openings. The multi-sided 3D shape of the brewing reservoir configured to receive a filter pack having a generally tapered multi-sided 3D shape similar to the multi-sided 3D shape of the brewing reservoir.

1. A brew basket and filter pack assembly for use in a beverage brewing machine, the assembly comprising: a brew basket comprising a body defining a brewing reservoir that extends along a longitudinal length from an open top to a bottom end having one or more openings, the brewing reservoir having a funnel-shaped segment, the funnel-shaped segment located proximate to the one or more openings at the bottom end, the open top being configured to receive heated water from the brewing machine during a brewing operation with brewed beverage discharging from the one or more openings; anda filter pack comprising a liquid permeable pouch containing coffee grounds, the pouch having multiple sides and multiple vertices joined to form a polygon shape with at least first and second funnel-shaped segments that have a shape and size to fit within the funnel-shaped segment of the brewing reservoir when the pouch is oriented in any of at least two inverted positions. 2. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein the polygon shape has a multi-sided 3D shape that is continuously tapered from each of the multiple sides to the vertex. 3. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 2, wherein an amount of taper is substantially even from each side to the associated opposed vertex. 4. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least two inverted positions include first and second inverted positions, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir. 5. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein the sides and vertices of the pouch are joined to form a triangular pyramid shape. 6. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein polygon provides a universal orientation of the pouch that enables the pouch to be received within the brewing reservoir such that any one of the funnel-shaped segments of the pouch substantially fill the funnel-shaped segment of the brewing reservoir. 7. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein the pouch is received within the brewing reservoir such that a one of the vertices that is fit within the funnel-shaped segment proximate to the bottom end is spaced a vertical gap above the one or more openings in the bottom end. 8. The brew basket and filter pack assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least two inverted positions include a first inverted position with a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end and a first side forming a closed top facing upward toward the open top, the closed top to form a water pooling pocket as the heated water diffuses through the closed top of the pouch to facilitate extraction from the grounds. 9. The brew basket of claim 1, wherein the polygon shape of the pouch fits into the brewing reservoir to form a seal such that the heated water will accumulate at least 14% of a predetermined total available solids available within coffee grounds before discharging from the one or more openings at the bottom end. 10. A filter pack for use in a drip-type beverage brewing machine having a brew basket comprising an open top and a bottom end having one or more openings, the brew basket having a funnel-shaped segment located proximate to the one or more openings at the bottom end, the open top being configured to receive heated water from the drip-type brewing machine during a brewing operation with brewed beverage discharging from the one or more openings, the filter pack comprising: a filter pack comprising a liquid permeable pouch containing coffee grounds,the pouch having multiple sides and multiple vertices joined to form a polygon shape with at least first and second funnel-shaped segments that have a shape and size to fit within the funnel-shaped segment of the brewing reservoir when the pouch is oriented in any of at least two inverted positions. 11. The filter pack of claim 10, wherein the polygon shape has a multi-sided 3D shape that is continuously tapered from each of the multiple sides to the vertex. 12. The filter pack of claim 10, wherein an amount of taper is substantially even from each side to the associated opposed vertex. 13. The filter pack of claim 10, wherein the at least two inverted positions include first and second inverted positions, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir. 14. The filter pack of claim 10, wherein the sides and vertices of the pouch are joined to form a triangular pyramid shape. 15. A method for providing a brew basket and filter pack assembly for use in a beverage brewing machine, the method comprising: providing a brew basket comprising a body defining a brewing reservoir that extends along a longitudinal length from an open top to a bottom end having one or more openings, the brewing reservoir having a funnel-shaped segment, the funnel-shaped segment located proximate to the one or more openings at the bottom end, the open top being configured to receive heated water from the brewing machine during a brewing operation with brewed beverage discharging from the one or more openings; andproviding a filter pack comprising a liquid permeable pouch containing coffee grounds, the pouch having multiple sides and multiple vertices joined to form a polygon shape with at least first and second funnel-shaped segments that have a shape and size to fit within the funnel-shaped segment of the brewing reservoir when the pouch is oriented in any of at least two inverted positions. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least two inverted positions include first and second inverted positions, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir, the first inverted position positions a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end of the brewing reservoir. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein polygon provides a universal orientation of the pouch that enables the pouch to be received within the brewing reservoir such that any one of the funnel-shaped segments of the pouch substantially fill the funnel-shaped segment of the brewing reservoir. 18. The method of claim 15, wherein the pouch is received within the brewing reservoir such that a one of the vertices that is fit within the funnel-shaped segment proximate to the bottom end is spaced a vertical gap above the one or more openings in the bottom end. 19. The method of claim 15, wherein the at least two inverted positions include a first inverted position with a first vertex of the pouch at the bottom end and a first side forming a closed top facing upward toward the open top, the closed top to form a water pooling pocket as the heated water diffuses through the closed top of the pouch to facilitate extraction from the grounds.
