A beverage brewer structure wherein a pour-in basin is provided with an overlying wall member for preventing liquid which may inadvertently pass downwardly through the top wall of the brewer housing from falling into the basin so as to avoid contamination of the water to be used in the brewing operation. The housing may include a top wall having an opening in which is mounted a warming station and the protective structure is arranged to prevent water or liquid from passing downwardly from the warming station opening into the basin. The wall member may be inclined toward an edge portion of the basin so as to cause the undesirable liquid to flow away from the basin. The wall member may be suitably heated as by heat transfer association with the water heating tank of the beverage brewer so as to cause evaporation of the undesirable liquid which may fall thereonto. The wall member may further serve as an antisplash device for preventing splashing of the poured-in-water outwardly through the portion of the basin underlying the wall member. A delivery conduit may be provided for delivering water to the basin from a pressurized water supply. The delivery conduit may extend through a suitable opening in the wall member which thus serves to retain the conduit end portion in proper relationship to the basin. The wall member may include securing portions arranged to secure the wall member to the basin and the basin to an upstanding support on a shelf portion of the housing. The shelf portion may be reinforced by brackets which may be secured to the upper end of a rear upstanding portion of the housing. The basin support, in turn, may be secured to the brackets. The basin and upstanding support therefor may have interlocking portions for accurately locating the basin in a preselected overlying relationship to the hot water tank.
