Abstract:
1. A brewed beverage appliance, comprising: a reservoir for housing a liquid; a grinding mechanism; a grinding platform having a grinding cavity, said grinding platform moving from a first grinding position in which said grinding mechanism is not disposed within said grinding cavity, to a second grinding position in which said grinding mechanism is disposed within said grinding cavity; a control circuit for selectively causing said grinding mechanism to operate when in said second grinding position; a pump, said pump selectively pumping said liquid from said reservoir to said grinding cavity after said grinding mechanism has operated within said grinding cavity; and a lifting mechanism having a guide pin operatively attached to the grinding platform, a handle operatively attached to said guide pin, and an arcuate slot for receiving said guide pin and guiding said guide pin along an arcuate path defined by said arcuate slot; wherein said handle is movable from a raised position in which said guide pin is received by a lower end of said slot to a lowered position in which said guide pin is received by an upper end of said slot, such that movement of said guide pin along said arcuate path from said lower end of said slot to said upper end of said slot causes movement of said grinding platform from said first position to said second position.
