PERMANENT BREW BASKET

A basket is a light container that is made of strips of wire mesh, metal or plastic.  A basket may be solid or it may have holes and is used in cooking, frying, dishwashing, beverage production (brewing), storage, waste collection, and more. Where equipped with a handle, the handle may be coated as with a fryer basket.

In conventional coffee-making machines, hot water is drawn from a reservoir and is discharged into a "brew basket" or a "brew chamber" via a sprayhead. The brew basket holds a filter (semi-permanent or disposable) containing a dose of ground coffee within the filter. Hot water discharged into the brew basket percolates through the ground coffee and exits the brew basket as filtered coffee. The hot coffee exiting the brew basket is collected in a coffee pot or carafe. A similar process is used in large production tea brewing
