ABSTRACT:
An automatic coffee pot which can be used interchangeably to make espresso, "American" coffee, or cappuccino within the same unit, uses a disk-shaped clamp having a plurality of filter openings therethrough seated on the coffee grounds in the interior of the filter basket to prevent the coffee from being driven by steam and boiled water generated in the pot upwardly and outwardly towards the outer diameter of the basket thereby subjecting all of the coffee beans to the steam and boiled water passing therethrough so that the beans are fully cooked or brewed and not wasted, enabling less coffee to be brewed with a given volume of water so that weaker "American" coffee can be made in the pot. A telescoping tube with a handle is provided which is disposed over a hollow longitudinal tube in an upper chamber of the pot after cream is poured into the upper chamber before or as the coffee is brewed therein and passed through the inner tube. The outer telescoping tube is provided with a vent in its side wall beneath the level of cream disposed in the upper chamber so that steam and hot water generated in the inner tube and exiting via the orifice in the side wall thereof is directed back to the bottom of the outer telescoping tube and vented through its side wall vent immersed in the liquid cream to heat and froth the same and mix the cream with the brewed coffee exiting from the inner tube to form cappuccino.
