Abstract: A multi-functional beverage-making machine includes a housing, the housing defining a first serving station, a second serving station, and a control pad mounted on a front surface of the housing. The first serving station includes a first dispensing inlet, a first brew basket, a first dispensing outlet, and a first receptacle platform. The second serving station includes a second dispensing inlet, a second brew basket, a second dispensing outlet, and a second receptacle platform, wherein the second receptacle platform is separate from and positioned at least partially directly rearwardly of the first receptacle platform. The beverage-making machine further comprises: a water reservoir; a pump fluidly connected with the water reservoir; a heating unit; a three-way fluid diverting unit fluidly connected with the pump, the first dispensing inlet, and the second dispensing inlet; and a controller operatively connected with the control pad, the pump, the heating unit, and the three-way fluid diverting unit.

Abstract: A beverage maker includes: a platform; a tower mounted to and extending upwardly from the platform; an arm fixed to and extending generally horizontally from the tower and over the platform, the arm including a brew basket; and a water fill chamber mounted to and positioned above the arm. The water fill chamber is movable relative to the arm between an operating position, in which the water fill chamber overlies the brew basket, and an access position, in which the water fill chamber is positioned away from the brew basket to allow a user access to the brew basket.

Abstract: A beverage maker includes: a housing having a platform, a tower mounted to and extending upwardly from the platform, and a basket holder extending generally horizontally from the tower and over the platform; a brew basket positioned in the basket holder; a fluid reservoir mounted to the housing; a heating unit; a fluid outlet positioned over the brew basket; piping fluidly connecting the fluid reservoir with the fluid outlet, the piping routed adjacent the heating unit; and a brew filter positioned in the brew basket, the brew filter being formed of a permeable material. The brew filter includes a first transparent window and the brew basket includes a second transparent window. An illuminating unit is positioned in the basket holder. The first and second transparent windows are positioned so that light from the illuminating unit passes through the first and second windows.
