A beverage dispenser (20) with a top assembly (26) having a pivotally mounted closure cover (50) with an inlet access opening (56) and a stopper (54) of contrasting color pivotally mounted to the underside of the closure cover (50) for movement between a closed position (FIGS. 2, 5) in which the sto
A beverage dispenser (20) with a top assembly (26) having a pivotally mounted closure cover (50) with an inlet access opening (56) and a stopper (54) of contrasting color pivotally mounted to the underside of the closure cover (50) for movement between a closed position (FIGS. 2, 5) in which the stopper (54) extends through the inlet access opening (56) to block the access opening (56) and to prevent movement of the dispenser (20) beneath a brew basket (58) of an associated brewer (60) for receipt of beverage, and an open position (FIG. 2) in which the stopper (54) held against the underside of the cover closure (50) and spaced from the access opening (56). The closure cover is pivotally mounted to a cover base (62) and is limited in movement by a carry handle (52) when in a lowered position, and is removable for cleaning and removal of a funnel assembly (70) to enable access to the interior through a funnel mounting hole (66) for cleaning. The funnel assembly (70) includes a display (57) with a electronic component housing (164) and a connection (166) to a funnel housing (142) nestled within matching concave sections in the cover base (62) and protectively covered by the closure cover (50).

The glass plate of claim 7, wherein said reinforcing element further has said internal cladding portion extending from said first side of said annular portion in the radially-inward direction toward said center of said stack. 9. The glass plate claim 1, wherein said stack includes an outermost first glass sheet, a second glass sheet bonded to an inner surface of said first glass sheet via an intervening first adhesive layer, and a third glass sheet bonded to an inner surface of said second glass sheet via an intervening second adhesive layer, said reinforcing element being bonded to said stack via at least one of said first adhesive layer and said second adhesive layer. 10. The glass plate of claim 9, wherein said reinforcing element has said internal cladding portion, further comprising a cladding block arranged along said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack between said internal cladding portion and an inner side of said stack. 11. The glass plate of claim 9, wherein said reinforcing element further has an annular cladding portion extending in a thickness direction of said stack along said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack, said main cladding portion extending from a first side of said annular portion in the radially-outward direction, and said reinforcing element has said external cladding portion extending from a second side of said annular portion in the radially-inward direction toward said center of said stack, said annular cladding portion being bonded to said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack by an adhesive material. 12. The glass plate of claim 11, wherein said reinforcing element further has said internal cladding portion extending from said first side of said annular portion in the radially-inward direction toward said center of said stack. 13. The glass plate of claim 9, wherein said reinforcing element has said internal cladding portion comprising a first internal cladding portion extending from said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack toward a center of said stack between glass sheets, said glass plate further comprising a second internal cladding portion extending from said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack toward a center of said stack within an adhesive material layer. 14. The glass plate of claim 13, wherein said second internal cladding portion comprises a cladding block arranged along said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack between said first internal cladding portion and an inner side of said stack. 15. The glass plate of claim 9, wherein said reinforcing element having said main cladding portion and said at least one of an internal cladding portion and an external cladding portion has a one-piece construction. 16. The glass plate of claim 15, wherein said reinforcing element has an external cladding portion, and has no internal cladding portion. 17. The glass plate of claim 15, wherein said reinforcing element has an internal cladding portion extending toward an opposing one of said sheets of glass forming said stack and having a width equal to a width of said internal cladding portion such that said opposing one of said sheets of glass is smaller than each of the remaining sheets of glass forming said stack. 18. The glass plate of claim 17, wherein said internal cladding portion comprises a first internal cladding portion, said glass plate further comprising a second internal cladding portion extending from said peripheral edge of said main portion of said stack toward a center of said stack within an adhesive material layer. 19.
