Automatic coffee brewing apparatus. |
摘要 |
<p>A coffee brewing unit is disclosed which enables a brew cycle to be initiated manually or automatically at a preset time, but which prevents a brew cycle from proceeding if a number of required operating conditions are not implemented. If all operating conditions again become implemented after a brew cycle, once underway, is interrupted, the brew cycle continues on to completion. Visual and audible signals indicate the current status of the brew cycle and/or of the brewing unit itself. An insulated carafe (40) is used as the vessel to receive brewed coffee thereby eliminating the need for a warmer plate. The unit may be mounted under a cabinet to thereby maximize usable countertop space and the brew basket (30) utilizes a dispensing valve (86) which is opened by the carafe (40) when inserted into position but which closes when the carafe (40) is withdrawn. A thermostat (98) which is used in association with the hot water generator (62) for the unit has a manual reset switch which is actuated by a self-contained water reservoir (24) when moved into its operating position.</p> |
