A dual-purpose brewer assembly with a brewing assembly including, within a housing (11), operator inputs (29), a hot water dispenser system (25) for dispensing hot water from a source of hot water (23) to a dispense outlet located above a removable brew basket assembly (18) with an electromagnetically controlled outlet drain valve (44) for selectively blocking beverage from leaving the brew basket (18) during a seeping period when making tea and leaves a drain hole (41) open throughout a brew cycle when making coffee. A drain plug (42) made of magnetic or ferromagnetic material is moved by an electromagnetic field to an open position (FIG. 6) in which a drain passageway (45) is not blocked when it is desired to drain the brew basket (18) of beverage and is allowed to fall to a closed position (FIG. 5) when electromagnetic field is allowed to collapse during a seeping period. Contact of electromagnetic coils (80, 82, 90) carried by the brew basket (18) with a source of energization is achieved through electrical contacts at the end of a pivotally mounted actuation arm (34)
