摘要:
An oriented flow extraction method, apparatus, and extract are disclosed. The oriented flow extraction method can comprise loading extraction material into an extraction cell having a first portion and a second portion; introducing a first aliquot of extraction medium through the first portion of the extraction cell; expelling gas from the extraction cell through the second portion of the extraction cell; closing the second portion of the extraction cell and increasing the pressure in the extraction cell as extraction medium flows into the first portion of the extraction cell; stopping the flow of extraction medium into the extraction cell; steeping the extraction material in the extraction medium under pressure to produce an extract; and introducing a second aliquot of extraction medium through the first portion of the extraction cell to push extract through second portion of the extraction cell. In some embodiments, the first portion is a bottom portion and the second portion is a top portion of the extraction cell.

An improved device for wetting a dose of ground coffee in coffee machines, preferably espresso machines, particularly but without limitation professional espresso making machines. The device comprises a source of pressurized water (4), at least one beverage dispenser unit (13), a filter holder (15) removably coupled to said dispenser (13), a water heater (12) placed on the dispenser unit, a water supply system (3, 11) connecting said source of pressurized water (4) with said heater (12), a dispensing conduit (23) connecting the heater (12) with the dispenser unit (13), as well as a dispensing valve device (26) inserted in said dispensing conduit (23) for closing and opening the conduit and for feeding heated water to the filter holder (15) and cause it to spread into the dose of ground coffee contained in the filter holder, as well as an electronic control and programming unit (22) connected at least with said source of pressurized water (4), with said heater (12) and with said dispensing valve device (26). The device further comprises an additional valve device (28) located on said water supply system (3, 11) which connects said source of pressurized water (4) with said heater (12), said additional valve device (28) being connected to said electronic control and programming unit.
摘要:
A beverage forming system and method in which a wall member mounted to a frame of the system defines a first portion of a chamber, and a cartridge holder movably mounted relative to the frame and the wall member defines a second portion of the chamber. The cartridge holder may have an opening to receive a cartridge and be arranged to hold and move a cartridge between an open position and a closed position. A cover, which may be moveable relative to the wall member and/or the cartridge holder, may be arranged to cover the opening of the cartridge holder with the cartridge holder in the closed position. Thus, with the cartridge holder in the closed position and the cover covering the opening, the cartridge holder, the wall member and the cover define the chamber in a closed state in which a cartridge held by the cartridge holder is enclosed.

A capsule (2), system (1) and method for preparing a predetermined quantity of beverage suitable for consumption using an extractable product. The system (1) comprises a capsule (2) comprising a cup (12) having a circumferential wall (16), a bottom (18) at a first end, and a flange-like rim (20) at a second end. The capsule (2) further comprises a lid (14), in use, connected to the flange-like rim (20). The wall (16), bottom (18) and lid (14), in use, enclose an inner space (22) comprising the extractable product. The cup (12) further comprises a plurality of substantially concentric circumferential ridges (28) extending outwardly of the cup (12), wherein the ridges (28) are made of the same material as the cup (12). The system further comprises a beverage brewing device (4) comprising an enclosing member (6) for enclosing the capsule (2). In use, at least one of the ridges (28) abuts against at least a portion of the enclosing member (6), such that a sealing engagement between the capsule (2) and the enclosing member (6) is formed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a foaming beverage powder, the method comprising: providing a porous beverage powder; heating the porous beverage powder to a temperature below its glass transition temperature in a gas-containing atmosphere; increasing the pressure of the gas-containing atmosphere to thereby raise the temperature of the porous beverage powder to a temperature above its glass transition temperature; and then decreasing the pressure of the gas-containing atmosphere to thereby lower the temperature of the porous beverage powder to a temperature below its glass transition temperature.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling operation of a beverage forming machine arranged for use with cartridges of different types, or receiving an upwardly flowing beverage from a cartridge. A beverage outlet may be movable to receive beverage from a cartridge of a first type, and to not receive beverage from a cartridge of a second type. Different cartridge characteristics may be detected by multiple detectors, e.g., for detecting a presence/absence of a cartridge, a cartridge type and/or an authorization feature.
摘要:
A coffee press apparatus (10) includes an outer container (12) having a cavity with upper and lower portions (12A, 17). A handle assembly (40) extends outwardly from on the outer container (12) and includes a user interface (60). An inner vessel (140) is disposed in the upper portion (12A) of the cavity of the outer container (12). A scale assembly (60) is coupled to the inner vessel (140) and disposed in the lower portion (17) of the cavity of the outer container (12). The scale assembly (160) is electrically coupled to the user interface (60) in assembly and configured to weigh the contents of the inner vessel (140) in use. A plunger assembly (30) extends into the inner vessel (140) and is slideably received through a lid assembly (24). The plunger assembly (80) includes a first filter assembly (84), and the lid assembly (24) includes a second filter assembly (286).
