In some cases, a hot poker or iron was quenched in the container.  Don't think
that would work for a beverage that needs to be brewed.  Another method might
be to pour boiling water from a cook pot into a vessel holding the beans, then
strain it into a serving vessel.  Or you might try steeping it in the cup,
like tea.  I have no idea how "they" did it in the middle ages, but lacking
documentation to the contrary, these would be my suggestions.
