ABSTRACT:
An automatic drip coffee maker makes drip coffee by providing a relatively small water reservoir that holds less than the total quantity of water. The coffee maker automatically transfers the remainder of the total quantity of water to the beverage storage container. The coffee maker also automatically heats the water in the reservoir and transfers it to a basket of ground coffee to make a concentrated brew which drips into the storage space which already contains a quantity of water sufficient to dilute the concentrated brew to a desired drinking strength. The same beverage strength is produced over a narrow range of brewing times for a wide range of cups brewed. The coffee maker is significantly smaller overall than conventionally configured drip coffee makers. The convenience of conventional coffee makers is maintained, e.g. structural components to be handled by the user do not exceed those of a conventional percolator. Other than one or more bimetal thermostats, there are no moving parts. The invention is adaptable in part to various drip coffee maker configurations, and in part to percolators.
