ABSTRACT:
A drip-type coffee maker adapted for use in a microwave oven. The coffee maker includes a container which can dispense coffee directly into a receptacle therebelow and has an upper reservoir for holding water, a lower filter element for holding coffee grounds and a partition, which separates the reservoir and coffee filter element. The partition includes a portion thereof adapted to close and open communication between the reservoir and the filter element, and a non-toxic heat responsive sealing substance adapted to releasably seal the partition portion in the closed position until water in the reservoir reaches a temperature for brewing coffee. When the water in the reservoir reaches a desired brewing temperature, the heat responsive seal releases the portion by melting, dissolving or the like, opening the reservoir to the filter element to the flow of the heated water into and through the filter element and coffee grounds to produce freshly brewed coffee which can be directly dispensed into a receptacle therebelow.
