Abstract
A self-sealing coffee pot is provided with a coffee container for holding liquid coffee, a pouring spout associated with the coffee container, a cover associated with the coffee container and having an opening disposed therein, a pivot member mounted to the cover and being disposed adjacent the opening, and a support mechanism that pivotably supports the pivot member. The support mechanism supports the pivot member so that the pivot member is pivotable between a closed position in which the opening in the cover is closed by a portion of the pivot member and in which substantially no vapor may escape from the interior portion of the coffee container to the atmosphere through the opening in the cover and an open position in which the opening in the cover is open and in which liquid coffee can be poured into the coffee container from a location outside of the coffee container.
