ABSTRACT:
An electric coffeemaker is disclosed of the drip type with an upright C-shaped housing, the lower leg having a heated carafe support and the upper leg having a water spreader over a supported coffee basket. The vertical leg encloses a reservoir with an apertured bottom wall and a cover is provided over the upper leg with an opening to the reservoir, and with a pump and heating chamber in the lower leg with a connected tube delivering hot water to the spreader. In this known combination, an improvement is provided in the spreader of an open cup-shaped member having a raised cut-away side towards the reservoir and connected to the tube. Apertures in the cup dispense hot water to the coffee basket and overflow structure is provided in the cup. The cover has ribs on its undersurface coextensive with and making a closure over the spreader and cut-away side and forms a passage away from the spreader to vent steam whereby the spreader is closed and vented by the cover to reduce condensing and dripping at the spreader. Additionally, the coffee basket has scalloped edges on its supporting flanges that slide on rails in the bottom of the upper leg for only spaced vertical wall contact between said flanges and rails to reduce capillary action along the rails and flanges.
