Abstract
A coffee brewing apparatus has a hot water reservoir which sets, unconnected, on a housing above a grounds basket. The carafe rests upon a warming plate below the basket. The control unit is attached to the reservoir and the control unit is held by two screws to the housing so that the control unit and the reservoir may be readily removed as a unit from the housing for maintenance. The pouring tray is clamped to the top of the reservoir to form a vapor seal between the hot water reservoir and pouring tray. The vapor seal prevents the machines 'boiling dry' by preventing vapors from escaping to condense on the apparatus.
