In a beverage-maker including a vessel in which a liquid is heated, and a receptacle for a material to be infused in the liquid, the receptacle is mounted for movement in the vessel between an upper position such that contact between the contents of the receptacle and the liquid is prevented and a lower position in which such contact can take place. Means is provided for holding the receptacle in its upper position until the liquid reaches a predetermined temperature and the receptacle is then released to float on the surface of the liquid. Apertures in the bottom of the receptacle then admit liquid at a controlled rate such as to avoid the production of foam to an unacceptable degree by interaction between the liquid and the material in the receptacle. |
