An electrical continuous flow water heater for an infusion beverage making appliance includes a hot plate serving to keep hot a beverage receptacle and which is located above and in heat exchange relationship with a heater element and water supply pipe disposed in a horse-shoe configuration. The temperature controller for controlling the temperature of the hot plate is mounted on one of a plurality of ribs provided on a support device thermally coupled to at least one of the supply pipe and heater element. Each rib is so sized and shaped and so located relative to the supply pipe and/or heater element to deliver solely through the rib a different amount of heat to a temperature controller mounted thereon. The temperature sensed by the controller is determined by the particularly rib on which the controller is mounted, thus permitting one type of continuous flow heater to keep hot flasks of different fill capacities place on the hot plate.
