A watertight enclosure is presented which has the capabilities of housing not only coffee brewing apparatus but also a liquid detector for the prevention of leaking water from the inside of the housing if some abnormally is present in the liquid system. The enclosure (20) consists of a base (22), configured with an extended portion (24) suitable for receiving a coffee server, a top (26) with an overhanging shelf (28) aligned with the base extended portion for dispensing brewed coffee into a coffee server, an integral front (30), back (32), and a pair of sides (34). The top and back each have a removable portion (36) and (40) for access into the enclosure to house brewing apparatus. A liquid detector (46) may be disposed within the enclosure with sensors between the base and the access opening for recognizing the presence of liquid allowing its internal system to de-energizing the brewing apparatus within the enclosure. The liquid detector functions by sensing the presence of liquid that may have accumulated within the housing and therefore preventing the overflowing of this undesirable liquid from the complete coffee brewer incorporated in the housing.
