Abstract
Beverage brewer () with a control system (FIGS.) has a brew basket () with a central axis (), a bottom with an offset drain hole () radially, outwardly spaced from the central axis () for passing the hot beverage or beverage concentrate to a container () and a position detectable element(). A circular collar () mounts the brew basket () to the housing () in at least two different angular positions (FIG.) in which the drain hole () is respectively located in at least two different positions outwardly spaced from the central axis () to pass brewed beverage to the container () when in two different positions (FIG.). A sensor () detects the angular positions of the brew basket (, and a controller (, FIG.) responds to the sensor () to enable only preselected functions of associated with the sensed angular position.
