Disclosed is a coffee maker having an upper compartment in which can be slid a basket provided with a spring biased drip-stop valve, and a lower compartment in which a coffee pot can be inserted. The upper compartment has a top panel that can be moved down by a manually operated lever, and a springloaded double floor that is also movable downwardly and provided with an extension that is sized and positioned to fit into the neck of the coffee pot located in a lower compartment so as to close this coffee pot and, more importantly, to lock it in the lower compartment. This coffee maker is particularly well adapted for use in aircrafts, since it avoids any dripping within the cabin when the drawer is removed, and, more importantly, it allows the basket and coffee pot to be "locked" within their respective compartments when the lever is pushed down, to prevent them from falling out during take-off and landing.
