Abstract
A coffee brewing apparatus wherein the housing supports a thin-walled container for fresh water. The container has an open top and a marginal portion which surrounds the open top and carries a reinforcing frame which supports a closure having one or more pivotable lids serving to expose or close the open top of the container. A downwardly extending portion of the frame can be inserted into or can surround the marginal portion of the container, a horizontal flange-like second portion of the frame serves as a rest for the lid or lids of the closure, and a third portion of the frame integrally connects the first and second portions and surrounds the closure. The third portion of the frame has bearings for one or more pintles connecting the lid or lids of the closure to the frame. The combined thickness of marginal portion of the container and first portion of the frame equals or approximates the thickness of third portion of the frame and/or the thickness of major portion of the container.
