ABSTRACT:
A beverage maker employs an electrically operated boiler having a hot water output and a cold water input. Electric power is supplied through a normally open micro switch to the boiler. The boiler is actuated to produce heat only when the switch is closed and is deactuated and produces no heat when the switch is open. A water reservoir is disposed above the boiler and above the switch. The reservoir has a water input port at the top of the reservoir and a water output port at the bottom of the reservoir. A water feed hose connects the output port of the reservoir through a one way valve to the cold water input of the boiler whereby water can flow by gravity out of the reservoir into the boiler but cannot flow out of the boiler into the reservoir. A counter balancing mechanism is secured to the reservoir to maintain the reservoir in raised position above the switch when the reservoir is empty whereby the switch is open and the boiler is deactuated. The mechanism, when the reservoir is filled with water, causes the reservoir to descend and engage and close the switch and actuate the boiler, hot water being discharged from the boiler through the hot water output.
