The reservoir positioned on a carafe for receiving a quantity of brewed coffee therein. A basket is positioned between the reservoir and the carafe for retaining the coffee grounds while permitting brewed coffee to pass therethrough. A water transfer tube is positioned within the reservoir having an inlet adjacent the internal bottom of the reservoir and an outlet positioned below the external bottom of the reservoir. The tube forming a bight above the water line within the reservoir. The application of microwave energy heats the water within the reservoir initiating a pumping system that creates a hydraulic head advantage through the transfer tube. The advantage creates a continuous flow of water from the reservoir through the outlet and onto the coffee grounds within the basket. The brewed coffee, created by the continuous contact between the heated water and the coffee grounds, passes from the basket into the carafe.
