Abstract
Fully automatic brewing apparatus is disclosed for economically and efficiently making large quantities of beverage. Beverage concentrate is first brewed from a dry, beverage-making material, such as tea leaves contained in a brewing funnel which, in one embodiment may be pivoted for emptying the concentrate into a selected one of a pair of relatively large reservoirs. The concentrate is automatically diluted to acceptable strength and temperature by the timed addition of water to the reservoir in a stream which provides complete mixing of the concentrate with the diluting water.
