A coffee grinder adapted to discharge ground coffee directly into a brewing funnel which is readily insertable and removable from the grinder. The grinder is equipped with brewing funnel support means in the form of a pair of spring clips mounted to the grinder. The spring clips have two pairs of yieldably spreadable support elements for accommodating brewing funnels of different sizes. Thus, large size brewing funnels that would result in permanent distortion of the pair of support elements suitable for smaller funnels can be accommodated in the second pair of support elements without producing permanent distortion of the later.

Brewing funnel support means for coffee grinders

Disclosed are improvements in a coffee-making machine of the type having an elevated cool or cold water basin from which cool or cold water drains into a fill tube extending down to adjacent the bottom of a hot water reservoir, the fill tube being suspended from the underside of the cover or lid on the reservoir. The cool or cold water displaces hot water to a spray head disposed over a brewing funnel. One specific improvement pertains to the means by which the cold water basin is attached to the reservoir lid. Another specific improvement pertains to the means by which the upper end of the fill tube is suspended from the reservoir lid. The combination of these improvements provides a convenient, secure and economical means of assembling these related components of the coffee-making machine.

Coffee-making machines

A combination coffee-making and dispensing machine which has a beverage reservoir which is retained in a cabinet. The reservoir is provided with a cover to reduce evaporation. The cover is hinged to the cabinet in a way that permits it to be tilted and lifted off the reservoir and remain in the cabinet when the reservoir is removed. The cover can be readily lowered in place on the reservoir when the latter is re-positioned in the cabinet.
