An attachment (2a; 2b) for a solvent container for the time-controlled preparation of an extraction beverage, in particular for brewing tea, comprising a) a base plate for placing onto an opening of the solvent container, wherein b) the base plate has an aperture for the passage of an extraction product container (200; 4), and c) there is a lifting device which comprises a sleeve (400; 13) on which the extraction product container (200; 4) is mounted in such a manner that it projects beyond the sleeve (400; 13) at a lower end and can be filled with an extraction product through an upper opening of the sleeve (400; 13), wherein d) the lifting device has a guide device which is fixed on the base plate and on which the sleeve (400; 13) is guided displaceably in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base plate with the effect of a linear guide (405, 515) between a lower and an upper position, wherein e) the lower position defines a brewing position of the sleeve (400; 13), in which the extraction product container (200; 4) is lowered, and the upper position defines an inoperative position in which the extraction product container (200; 4) is raised in relation to the brewing position, and f) the lifting device has a locking device for locking the sleeve (400; 13) in the brewing position, and g) there is a timer which is designed in such a manner for actuating the locking device that, after a predefinable period of time has elapsed, the sleeve (400; 13) is unlocked when it is locked in the brewing position, wherein h) the timer comprises an actuating element for setting a period of time, characterized in that i) the sleeve (400; 13) is acted upon along the linear guide (405, 515) in the brewing position by a restoring force which resets the sleeve from the brewing position into the inoperative position when the sleeve (400; 13) is unlocked. a) a base plate for placing onto an opening of the solvent container, wherein b) the base plate has an aperture for the passage of an extraction product container (200; 4), and c) there is a lifting device which comprises a sleeve (400; 13) on which the extraction product container (200; 4) is mounted in such a manner that it projects beyond the sleeve (400; 13) at a lower end and can be filled with an extraction product through an upper opening of the sleeve (400; 13), wherein d) the lifting device has a guide device which is fixed on the base plate and on which the sleeve (400; 13) is guided displaceably in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base plate with the effect of a linear guide (405, 515) between a lower and an upper position, wherein e) the lower position defines a brewing position of the sleeve (400; 13), in which the extraction product container (200; 4) is lowered, and the upper position defines an inoperative position in which the extraction product container (200; 4) is raised in relation to the brewing position, and f) the lifting device has a locking device for locking the sleeve (400; 13) in the brewing position, and g) there is a timer which is designed in such a manner for actuating the locking device that, after a predefinable period of time has elapsed, the sleeve (400; 13) is unlocked when it is locked in the brewing position, wherein h) the timer comprises an actuating element for setting a period of time, characterized in that i) the sleeve (400; 13) is acted upon along the linear guide (405, 515) in the brewing position by a restoring force which resets the sleeve from the brewing position into the inoperative position when the sleeve (400; 13) is unlocked.
