Abstract
A coffeepot is provided having a whistle and pouring opening located in a skirt depending from the lid. The lid is rotatable within the pot to bring the whistle and pouring opening into communication with a pouring spout, or so that they are blocked by the pot sidewall. A basket having upper and lower steel filters of fine mesh is supported spaced from, but adjacent, the coffeepot bottom for ensuring immersion of the coffee within the water during the brewing cycle.
