Abstract: A coffee maker includes a tray having multiple compartments into which ground coffee is placed. The tray is moved relative to a water source so the compartments are sequentially placed in a position to receive water in a brewing cycle so a number of pots of coffee can be brewed, one after another, with minimal intervention by the user. When the coffee maker is loaded, the only requirement of the user is to empty the old pot. In the event the old pot is not emptied, a weight sensor disables the coffee maker. In a preferred embodiment, the tray is a lazy Susan arrangement which is rotated about a central axis to present a new batch of ground coffee to a water source. In other embodiments, a water source is moved to a brewing location over successive coffee containing compartments or a plurality of water spigots are separately controlled for delivering hot water to successive coffee containing compartments.
