ABSTRACT:
A single serving beverage maker with a removable water storage reservoir (with a sight glass) to hold multiples of a single serving of water, a water boiler reservoir to heat a single serving of water, an electric heater for heating the single serving of water in the water boiler reservoir, one or more valves between the water storage reservoir and the water boiler reservoir, a brewing compartment for holding a single serving of a material (which may be in a porous bag) to be infused into the water, and a support to closely interfit with and position a coffee cup subjacent the brewing compartment such that a succession of single servings of a heated beverage such as coffee may be individually brewed and served. The beverage maker may utilize the boiler reservoir as a measuring reservoir or alternatively, a separate measuring reservoir (also with a sight glass) may be provided between the water storage reservoir and the water boiler reservoir. A latching switch may be used to engage a solenoid to empty the separate measuring reservoir during a brew cycle.
