Abstract: An automatic coffee-brewing apparatus designed as an improved brewing device for ground coffee similar to the ones employed in the drip process. The brewing apparatus includes a container defining a coffee pot arranged to be removably supported by an electric heating plate, a floatable brew basket being releasably mounted within the coffee pot and including at least one floatational cell or chamber, whereby the brew basket is allowed to be released by a thermal latch in order to float on top of the brewed coffee at a predetermined temperature. A free-wheeling impeller is located within the brew basket and arranged to be rotated during the brewing process by a motor which is magnetically coupled to the impeller to cause rotation thereof.
