1. An apparatus for facilitating brewing of beverages in a container, the apparatus comprising:
an apparatus container comprising a base and a side wall extending from the base, wherein a bottom end of the side wall is peripherally attached to the base and a top end of the side wall defines an opening of the apparatus container, wherein the base and the side wall define an interior space of the apparatus container, wherein the apparatus container comprises a filter portion comprising a plurality of openings comprised in the side wall, wherein the apparatus container is disposable in the container for brewing at least one beverage in the container, wherein the container comprises at least one brewing fluid, wherein the filter portion comprising the plurality of openings allows moving of the at least one brewing fluid between the container and the interior space, wherein the apparatus container is configured for receiving at least one beverage ingredient in the interior space through the opening for the brewing of the at least one beverage in the container; and
a plunger assembly coupled with the apparatus container, wherein the plunger assembly comprises a plunger handle and a plunger head, wherein the plunger assembly is configured for moving the plunger head into the interior space of the apparatus container based on at least one force applied to the plunger handle, wherein the brewing of the at least one beverage is further based on the moving of the plunger head into the interior space of the apparatus container, wherein the plunger assembly further comprises an end cap configured to be coupled with the opening for closing the opening based on the coupling of the plunger assembly with the apparatus container, wherein the end cap comprises a cap base and a cap side wall extending from the cap base, wherein a first end of the cap side wall is peripherally attached to the cap base and a second end of the cap side wall defines a cap aperture, wherein the end cap comprises a first threaded portion disposed proximal to the second end of the cap side wall, wherein the apparatus container comprises a second threaded portion disposed proximal to the top end of the side wall, wherein the first threaded portion is configured to be threadedly engaged with the second threaded portion for coupling the end cap to the opening for the coupling of the plunger assembly to the apparatus container, wherein the cap base and the cap side wall define a cap interior space for the end cap, wherein the plunger head is movably disposed in the cap interior space, wherein the moving of the plunger head comprises moving the plunger head between the cap interior space and the interior space, wherein the plunger assembly further comprises a plunger sleeve and a plunger rod, wherein the plunger sleeve comprises an internal chamber extending between a first open end of the plunger sleeve and a second open end of the plunger sleeve, wherein the second open end is attached to an outer surface of the cap base around a cap opening disposed on the cap base of the end cap, wherein the plunger rod is movably disposed in the internal chamber of the plunger sleeve, wherein the plunger rod extends between a first rod end and a second rod end, wherein the second rod end is attached to the plunger head on a top side of the plunger head by extending through the cap opening and the first rod end is attached to the plunger handle on a bottom side of the plunger handle, wherein the plunger rod moves in the internal chamber from a first position to at least one second position in the internal chamber based on the at least one force for the moving of the plunger head.
