How the hell does my coffeemaker get the coffee in the pot?

290 views

I have this cuisinart coffee machine. It’s got all these different parts that must be put in place including the coffee pot which somehow collects the coffee through its plastic lid. While it’s running i hear all these sounds like gears grinding so obviously there are some sort of tiny coffee elves transporting the coffee from the filter to the pot.

The lid has a small hole in it that comes into contact with another small hole in the coffee maker. They don’t form a tight seal, but they form enough of one that the surface tension of the dripping coffee is enough to keep it inside the resulting gap, rather than flowing out over the pot’s exterior.

Aside from that, [here’s a basic design for a very simple coffee maker](https://i.imgur.com/9Gv3HDx.png).
