Abstract: A coffeepot is provided having a whistle and pouring opening located in a skirt depending from the lid. The lid is rotatable within the pot to bring the whistle and pouring opening into communication with a pouring spout, or so that they are blocked by the pot sidewall. A basket having upper and lower steel filters of fine mesh is supported spaced from, but adjacent, the coffeepot bottom for ensuring immersion of the coffee within the water during the brewing cycle.

Abstract: A coffee maker that provides both a visual and audible indication of the progress of coffee making. The coffee pot spout has a whistle disposed on its end, the whistle may be removable and/or the coffee may be poured directly through passageways in the whistle. A knob of non-conductive material is provided on the end of the whistle to facilitate removal. The centrally extending basket supporting tube in the coffee pot extends upwardly into a transparent material dome on the coffee lid. A screen is provided at the bottom of the tube, and a screen is disposed in the lid, securely mounting the tube in position. The basket is mounted on the tube so that it is normally immersed in water in the pot during normal operation.
