Abstract
An improved funnel for a beverage brewer which provides that the water supplied to the brewer enters into the funnel and passes into the brewer chamber to slots formed in the funnel and shaped so as to prevent air being expelled from the brewer chamber from below from causing the water to splash outside of the funnel during the brewing cycle. Ledges are formed on the lower edges of the slots which act as platforms for the water to rinse away coffee grounds during the short wash cycle of the coffee brewer.
