In a coffee pot apparatus

A coffee pot apparatus, comprising,

• a coffee pot container, and
• a heating surface, and
• a torroidal spacer disc, including a planar top wall spaced from and parallel to a planar bottom wall, with the planar top wall in contiguous communication with the coffee pot container, and the planar bottom wall in contiguous communication with the heating surface, and
• the spacer disc includes a cylindrical central opening defined by a central opening wall, and the spacer disc further includes a cylindrical side wall spaced from the central wall, wherein the central wall and the side wall are concentrically arranged relative to one another, and the spacer disc is defined by a disc diameter and the coffee pot container includes a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface is defined by a predetermined coffee pot diameter, wherein the coffee pot diameter is greater than the disc diameter to effect projection of the bottom surface of the coffee pot beyond the spacer disc to provide for a first air gap between the coffee pot and the heating surface within the central opening, and a second air gap defined exteriorly of the spacer disc between the bottom surface of the coffee pot container and the heating surface, and
• the cylindrical side wall includes a temperature sensitive indicator strip fixedly mounted thereto for providing visual indication of available temperature directed to the spacer disc.
