ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a brewing apparatus having a housing; a compartment for receiving a brewable material, the compartment having an upper opening for introducing a brewing liquid and a drain for removing the brewing liquid after brewing of at least a portion of the brewable material; and a receptacle positionable beneath the drain for receiving the brewing liquid. The receptacle is movable to an operating position wherein the receptacle is positioned beneath the drain to receive the brewing liquid and non-operating positions wherein the receptacle is not positioned beneath the drain to receive the brewing liquid. In accordance with the invention, the apparatus includes a switch for initiating the introduction of a predetermined amount of brewing liquid to the compartment, and control means for activating the switch when the receptacle is in the operating position and for deactivating the switch when the receptacle is not in the operating position. An operator thus will not be able to initiate brewing of the brewable material unless the receptacle is positioned in its operating position.
