    摘要: A combination unit comprising a beverage preparation machine (62) and a separate milk chilling device (10) for storing a volume (16) of milk in a chilled state. The beverage preparation machine (62) comprises a control electronics system (63) and a milk dispensing apparatus (64) for dispensing milk and/or milk froth. The milk chilling device (10) comprises a housing (11), a milk container (14), which is arranged in the housing (11), for accommodating the volume (16) of milk, a chilling unit (18) for chilling the volume (16) of milk, and a milk lance for removing milk from the milk container (14). A monitoring device for monitoring a filling state of the milk container (14) comprises a filling state sensor (34) for detecting a filling level of the milk in the milk container (14) and a filling state measurement electronics system (36), which is connected to the filling state sensor (34), for generating a filling state information signal, wherein dispensing of the milk and/or of the milk froth from the milk dispensing apparatus (64) can be controlled by means of the control electronics system (63) of the beverage preparation machine (62) depending on the filling state information signal which is generated by the filling state measurement electronics system (36). The filling state measurement electronics system (36) is arranged in or on the housing of the milk chilling device (10). The milk chilling device (10) comprises a transmitter (38) for transmitting the filling state information signal to the beverage preparation machine (62) by means of a radio signal, and the beverage preparation machine (62) comprises a transceiver (66) which receives the radio signal which is generated by the transmitter (38) of the milk chilling device (10) and provides the transmitted filling state information signal to the control electronics system (63) of the beverage preparation machine (62).

    摘要: A coffee grinding machine has a dispensing duct connected to a grinder unit to dispense coffee inside a filter supported by a filter-holder. The filter-holder is disposed above a support platform connected to a load cell that weighs the quantity of ground coffee contained in the filter and sends an indicative weight value of the ground coffee contained in the filter to a control unit in such manner to stop the grinder unit when the weight of the ground coffee contained in the filter-is equal to one dose. The load cell is inside a support frame that contains the grinder unit and an electric motor used to actuate the grinder unit.

    摘要: The electro-optic liquid level sensing system detects a level of liquid in a container having an upper opening, such as for a server container of a beverage maker for a transport system, such as for aircraft, trains, trucks, buses and the like. A support housing mates with the upper opening of the container, and a primary liquid level sensor is mounted in the support housing for non-intrusively measuring the liquid level. A secondary liquid level sensor may be mounted in the support housing to sense a predetermined liquid level to prevent accidental overflows. Protective lenses may be placed in front of the primary liquid level sensor.
