ABSTRACT:
An automatic electric coffee maker has a housing including a base and a hood mounted atop the base. The base includes a horizontal support for supporting a coffee decanter so as to be located immediately underneath an overhanging portion of the hood from which a coffee basket is supported. The base has a body which extends from one side of the decanter support and extends upwardly toward and is attached to the hood. The hood has walls defining a water chamber for containing water to be heated. An electric water pump heater is mounted within the body adjacent its upper end and has a pump tube extending from a pump well thereof upwardly through an aperture in the top wall of the body through the water chamber to a discharge spout which extends through the overhanging hood portion and terminates in a discharge outlet which extends downwardly through the hood so as to discharge heated water into a coffee basket located therebelow. Essentially all of the water to be heated is located above the level of the coffee basket, permitting a short pump tube thereby minimizing the volume of cold water initially maintained therein. This structure increases the brewing efficiency in that it increases the discharge water temperature and decreases the brewing time.
