Case 880509 A beverage maker and serving unit system comprising a beverage maker and a portable beverage server. The beverage maker supports a brewing funnel over a platform on which the server sets when positioned to receive a stream of fresh brewed coffee or tea from the brewing funnel. When the system is designed for making iced tea the beverage maker will have a separate outlet for discharging diluting water into an opening in the server when the server is positioned all the way back on the platform. For support, the server has a set of front legs, a set of rear legs, and a set of intermediate legs all of which rest on the platform when the server is being filled. The server also has a lifting bail which cannot be fully raised until the server is filled and moved forward on the platform to where the intermediate legs engage upstanding detents on the front of the platform. When the server is setting back on the platform and being filled, the front legs engage the detents. The center of gravity of the server is located at or to the rear of its intermediate legs so that the server will remain stable on the platform and not tilt when it is moved forward to where the intermediate legs engage the detents and the bail can be raised so it can be used to lift the server off the platform. |
