ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a beverage brewing apparatus (1) comprising a filter assembly (18) which is removable from the brewer housing (2) along a plane of movement (24) and includes an opening (25) open in upward direction and formed by an upper rim (22). In inserted condition, the opening (25) of the filter assembly (18) rests under a cover (28) from which the brewing water flows into the filter assembly (18). The predominant portion of the upper rim (22) of the filter assembly (18) lies in a first plane (23). The area (26) of the cover (28) cooperating with the predominant portion of the upper rim (22) lies in a second plane (30). With the filter assembly (18) in inserted condition, the first (23) and the second (30) plane extend essentially parallel to each other and are vertically disposed in close proximity to each other. According to the invention, both the first (23) and the second (30) plane are inclined relative to the plane of movement (24) by an angle of inclination (a). For one thing, this arrangement is intended to ensure that, with the filter assembly (18) inserted in the housing (2), the upper rim (22) of the filter assembly (18) is at all times maintained in sealing engagement with the cover (28) closing the opening (25) of the filter assembly (18) from above, and for another thing, it is intended to prevent rubbing of the upper rim (22) of the filter assembly (18) against the cooperating area (26) of the cover (28) as the filter assembly (18) is removed from the housing (2).
