Beverage dispensing assembly for an appliance

A dispensing assembly of an appliance, the dispensing assembly comprising:

• a dispenser body defining a dispenser recess, the dispenser body comprising an upper wall fixed to the appliance above the dispenser recess;
• one or more flanges extending from and below the upper wall;
• a brew module selectively installed within the dispenser recess, the brew module comprising
• a brewing body defining a brew chamber therein, and
• a lid selectively attached to the brewing body, the lid defining an inlet upstream from the brew chamber, the lid comprising one or more rails movably received on the one or more flanges to support the brew module within the dispenser recess;
• and
• a water delivery system mounted to the dispenser body in selective engagement with the brew module to deliver water thereto, the water delivery system comprising
• a delivery nozzle slidably attached to the upper wall, the delivery nozzle comprising a nozzle tip defining a water outlet to direct water to the brew module, the delivery nozzle being axially slidable between a lowered position and an elevated position, and
• a biasing spring motivating the delivery nozzle toward the lowered position in which the delivery nozzle is disposed to across the slide path to engage the brew module at the lowered position, wherein the one or more flanges define the slide path, and
• wherein the nozzle tip further defines a tapered outer surface motivate the delivery nozzle axially upward in response to engagement with the brew module along the slide path.
