After the coffee grounds have been ground and a spray head is able to pull them through the filter and into the cup below.

The turbulence created by the boiling water produces bubbles that rise through the hole at the bottom of the reservoir and up the exit hose. Hot water flows on these bubbles to travel up the tube and then into the coffee maker.
