ABSTRACT:
A microwave coffee making apparatus (10), adapted for use in a microwave oven to heat water (66), has a water reservoir (12) with at least one aperture (49) near the bottom thereof, a coffee grounds basket (13) positioned to receive water from at least one water reservoir aperture (49), a pitcher (11) positioned to receive brewed coffee (17) from the coffee grounds basket (13), and a manually operated valve means (14) located adjacent the at least one water reservoir aperture (49) to control draining of the water reservoir (12) into the coffee grounds basket (13). To brew coffee (17) with this coffee making apparatus (10), the water reservoir (12) is filled with the desired amount of water (66), a measured amount of coffee grounds (37) is placed in the coffee grounds basket (13), the flow of water (66) from the water reservoir (12) is initiated by opening the valve (14), and microwave energy is applied to the coffee making apparatus (10) to heat the water. Preferably, the valve (14) has a plunger rod (51) positioned such that the mounting of a cover (67) on the reservoir (12) depresses the plunger rod (51) and opens the valve (14).
