Claim:
1. A beverage brewer, comprising: a pump assembly having a deformable exterior wall; a brew chamber assembly for retaining a liquid, the brew chamber assembly including an interface portion defining a downward facing cone having a check valve mounted therein; and a base assembly for receiving an individual pod, the base assembly including a lower base surface having a central aperture, the aperture having a hollow, upward pin mounted therein, wherein manually engaging the brew chamber assembly with the base assembly causes the downward facing cone to pierce an upper surface of the individual pod and fluidly engage an inside portion of the individual pod while the hollow, upward pin engages the inside portion through a lower surface of the individual pod, and wherein application of external pressure to said deformable exterior wall generates pressure sufficient to overcome the check valve within said downward facing cone such that said liquid is directed through the downward facing cone and into the individual pod and a finished beverage exits the individual pod.
