A multifunction drinking assembly includes a primary container having a bottom wall and a continuous upstanding side wall, the side wall defining an open top and defining an interior area. An inner surface of the side wall includes a threaded section displaced from the upper rim and includes an upper ledge. The side wall has a lower ledge upwardly displaced from the bottom wall. A primary lid includes an upper portion having a rim and a top wall extending across the continuous rim, the primary lid having outer threads removably coupled to the threaded section of the side wall. The multifunction drinking assembly includes a coozie lid for securing either a can or bottle, a shaker lid for making mixed drinks, and an infuser assembly and steeper basket for holding loose leaf teas and fruit.

A timed brewing device includes a container (1) combined with a base (2) with which the former communicates via a first passage (1c) provided in the bottom wall (1e) thereof. The base (2) includes a brewing compartment (3) receiving a removable chamber wall which is pervious to water and which is capable of receiving a material to be brewed. A transversely movable valve (4) enables the brewing chamber to be selectively placed in contact (3) with the inner space of the container (1) via the first passage (1c). The valve (4) is actuated by an actuating device, which moves the valve into the closed position after a predetermined amount of time. During brewing, a pump (21) intermittently circulates the brewed liquid between the bottom of the brewing compartment (3) and a second passage (1d) of the container (1).
