Abstract
A brewer apparatus includes a tray assembly for positioning and securing a pod enclosing a beverage component below the brew head of the apparatus. The tray assembly is generally constructed so as to allow selective movement of the tray assembly between a first position where it is positioned below the brew head, and a second position where it extends away from the housing of the brewer apparatus, thus allowing access to the quantity of beverage component. Furthermore, the brewer apparatus can be pivoted between a closed position where it is sealed against the tray assembly for brewing and an open position where it is pivoted upwardly and away from said tray assembly to allow for the selective movement of said tray assembly from said first position to said second position.
