Abstract

The brewed beverage reservoir includes a liner which provides an insulative air gap between the liner and the housing which defines the brewed beverage reservoir. A warming element is attached to the brewed beverage reservoir liner. A swing arm shower head is positionable over an opening to the brewing basket. A conduit provides a liquid passageway from the liquid reservoir to a liquid heating element to the shower head. The liquid and beverage reservoirs may be integrally formed by a common housing mountable upon a base which houses the heating element. A hinge mounted lid covers the open tops of the liquid and beverage reservoirs.
