ABSTRACT:
A coffee-making and dispensing machine wherein coffee discharges from a brewing funnel into a reservoir from which increments of coffee are withdrawn through a dispensing spout into consumers' cups. The brewing funnel and reservoir are insertable and removable through the front access side of the machine into a reservoir compartment. The dispensing spout is located at the lower portion of the front access side and receives coffee from the reservoir through a conduit. A sight glass is also connected by a conduit providing communication with the reservoir. A quick connect-disconnect fluid-tight connection is provided between the reservoir and the inlet to the conduits. Ths connection is provided in part by a tubular male projection on the bottom of the reservoir and in part by a stationary female receptacle which includes a secured-in-place diaphragm in the form of a sheet of resilient rubber-like material of substantial thickness having a central opening sized to receive the male projection with a fluid-tight interference fit.
