Abstract
Support apparatus for coffee maker brew baskets comprises a base, an upstanding stop wall and a support plate spaced apart above the base. A coffee grinder discharge spout empties through the support plate. A pair of support arms are pivotally mounted extending horizontally subadjacent the support plate and flanking the coffee grinder discharge spout. The support arms each have a straight portion extending from the pivot point and a curved facing portion extending to a distal end on which an inwardly protruding nib is provided. The support arms are linked for co-pivoting separational movement and are spring biased together. Brew baskets inserted between the support arms are held under the discharge spout.
