A beverage dispenser(20) with a top assembly(26) having a cover
closure,
or cover(50) with an inlet access opening, structure for mounting the cover(50)
for movement between an operative position in which the inlet access opening is
aligned with the inlet and the cover overlies the top assembly, and an inoperative
position and a stopper member(54) of contrasting color pivotally mounted
to the underside of the cover for movement between a closed position in which it
extends through an inlet access opening to block passage of liquid and heat from
within the dispenser and to block movement of the dispenser beneath a brew basket
of an associated brewer for receipt of beverage and an open position in which it
is pivoted against the underside of a pivotally mounted cover. The cover (50)
is pivotally mounted to a cover base and is limited in movement by a carry handle
when in a lowered position, and is removable for cleaning and removal of a funnel
