Claim 15:
16. A method of brewing a beverage from a beverage pod having a lid as a proximal end and a base as a distal end defining a longitudinal axis therebetween, the method comprising:
orientating a pod in a brewing orientation, the pod having a filter disposed within a container where an extension of the filter overlaps a rim of the container, and the extension is peelably coupled to the rim on the proximal end of the pod;
forming a gap between the extension and the rim at about a six o'clock position of the extension at the proximal end of the pod;
receiving heated water at the proximal end of the pod;
extracting a beverage from a beverage ingredient within the filter;
filtering the extracted beverage at a distal end of the filter;
slowing the flow of the beverage along a first pathway between the distal end of the filter and the distal end of the pod;
directing the flow of the beverage along a second pathway from the distal end of the filter to the proximal end of the pod; and
draining the beverage from the gap juxtaposed to the proximal end of the pod.
