Abstract

See full text

A beverage brewer comprises a housing, with a spray head mounted to the housing and operably connected to a source of water. A brew basket is selectively installed and secured to the housing, with the brew basket holding a quantity of a beverage component below the spray head, such that water introduced by the spray head contacts and passes through the beverage component to produce a brewed beverage. One or more magnets are installed on the brew basket, and one or more magnetic proximity sensors are installed in the housing and positioned to sense the presence of the one or more magnets installed on the brew basket. A control logic then receives signals from the one or more magnetic proximity sensors and executes a selected brewing routine in response to the signals received from the one or more magnetic proximity sensors.
