Abstract: A modular beverage brewing apparatus includes a frame having at least a first pair of inwardly directed flanges. A joiner plate is connected to the frame. The joiner plate and the pair of inwardly directed flanges define a first channel and a second channel therebetween so that the modular brewing apparatus is selectively engageable with a pair of inwardly directed flanges of a companion modular unit. An electrical connection is made between the modular beverage brewing apparatus and the companion modular unit. The electrical connection includes a first electrical power connection comprising an electrical output receptacle on the modular beverage brewing apparatus coupled to an electrical input receptacle on the companion modular unit for delivering electrical power from the modular brewing apparatus to the companion modular unit.

Abstract: A beverage brewing apparatus in which all of the electrical and mechanical components necessary for a brewing operation are contained in a modular tower having a cantilevered head section at the top thereof. The modular tower is mountable directly on a supporting modular base or on a modular riser which is, in turn, mounted on a modular base to thereby allow the apparatus to accommodate a variety of beverage delivery vessels and/or brew cones. Additional supporting modules, such as warming modules, are also disclosed to provide selectable brewing apparatus configurations to meet the many needs of the user. The components of the apparatus are joined together by an interlocking assembly in which a pair of in-turned flanges on opposing sides of the bottom of an upper component are held in corresponding outwardly directed channels in a lower component. A riser plate which forms one side of an upper component is removably attached to an upward flange on a lower component to secure the components in place.
