Abstract
The present invention relates to an adapter for converting a standard eight cup coffee brewer to the commercial type that will brew 12 cups. The stand for the eight cup coffee brewer is disconnected from the base, and an adapter is inserted between the stand and the base. The adapter raises the stand to allow additional clearance for a 12 cup coffee pot, the standard commercial size. The stand is again connected to the base with the adapter inserted therebetween. The adapter has an additional electrical outlet connected to the electrical system for the coffee brewer, which outlet may be used as an additional hot plate connection to maintain an additional pot of brewed coffee at the proper temperature.
