Abstract
A thermal carafe brewing device includes an automatic drip brewing machine and a thermal carafe having a brew-through lid which utilizes a pressure controlled valve in a liquid passageway through the lid to allow liquid to flow directly from a brewing basket through the lid and into the carafe. The pressure controlled valve prevents liquid and heat from flowing out of the carafe through the lid by liquid and/or gas pressure from inside the carafe which closes the valve.
