A burner (42) is disposed in the burner chamber (40). A heating coil (92) in fluid communication with the reservoir (20). The heating coil (92) has a portion (100) disposed in the burner chamber (40). A filter assembly (30) supports a filter basket (34) and a beverage flavoring substance disposed in the filter basket. The burner (42) is operable to burn a combustible fuel gas in the chamber (40) to heat the liquid in the heating coil (92). The heating coil (92) directs heated liquid toward the filter assembly (30). The heated liquid passes through the filter means (30) and combines with the beverage flavoring substance to produce the hot beverage.
