Abstract
A beverage brewing device that can be used to make either hot coffee or iced tea has a retractable decanter support platform which is capable of translation between an extended position and a retracted position. When the support platform is in the extended position, it can accept and support a small decanter for use in receiving the brewed beverage. The support platform has a warming plate which maintains the temperature of the beverage. When the support platform is in the retracted position, the platform is positioned to enable a large decanter to be placed on the base of the device. The beverage brewing device also has an electric circuit capable of causing the beverage brewing device to brew coffee when the decanter support platform is in the extended position, and causing the beverage brewing device to brew tea when the decanter support platform is in the retracted position.
