ABSTRACT:
A coffee maker includes a housing which supports a fresh water container above a receptacle for the coffee. A resistive heating element is mounted in the container to heat the water. The bottom of the container is provided by a downwardly sloping element having an outlet to release heated water to a filter vessel which is releasably connected to the bottom element by a bayonet lock. The filter vessel has an upper rim which is pressed toward an annular shoulder on the underside of the bottom element to create a seal, so that a bubble forms beneath the bottom element when coffee is being brewed. The upper side of the bottom element has arms which mount a temperature-sensitive bimetallic snap element over the outlet. A resilient stopper is mounted on the snap element and is raised from the outlet by the snap element when the water is hot enough for coffee.
