A single-serve coffee package has an outer envelope having one folded edge and three heat-sealed edges, comprising 95% by weight materials that are compostable and demonstrate bio-degradability, a filter bag fully within the outer envelope, having one folded edge and sealed edges, forming a closed envelope having opposite sides, each side comprising one layer of filter material, fully compostable and biodegradable, the filter material exhibiting a plurality of openings through the material, enabling water to pass through, the openings having no dimension exceeding a minimum dimension, a volume of grains of ground coffee within the filter bag, dimensions of the grains precluding coffee grains passing through the openings through the filter material, and an atmosphere of gas within the outer envelope, enveloping the filter bag and the coffee grains, the gas inert relative to materials exposed within the outer envelope.

A beverage brewing device facilitates preparation of homemade tea, coffee, and other brewed or steeped beverages by separating the brewing medium from a hot, brewed beverage prior to consumption. Brewed or steeped beverages typically involve running or immersing a brewing medium with hot water to allow a transfer of oils, flavorings and pigments to the water. The brewing medium is encapsulated in a flexible, permeable steeping pouch containing a brewing substance such as tea leaves to allow the hot water to flow through and transfer the oils and flavorings that define the brewed beverage. The steeping pouch is withdrawn via a tether, and compressed between opposed, insulated panels to squeeze any remaining water into the beverage receptacle. Once substantially all water is extracted, the steeping pouch between the opposed, insulated panels allows discarding of the used steeping pouch without dripping or burning fingers from residual heat.

A drip bag includes a bag main body formed of a water permeable filter sheet and hooking members made of a thin plate-like material on two opposite outer surfaces. Each hooking member includes upper bonded, central, and a pair of arm portions from the central to toward the upper bonded portion, and a pair of hooking portions. The arm portions are spaced apart from each other with a bag main body width center line between them. Each hooking portion extends downward and is not bonded onto the bag main body. Each arm portion can be pulled up from the bag main body at an upper part, and has a fixed edge fixed onto the bag main body at a lower part. The fixed edge is inclined relative to a bag main body width direction. A bag main body opening portion opens wider even when a cup opening diameter is small.
