摘要： A coffee making machine includes a water reservoir, a heating element, a controller programmed to analyse data and generate a signal for the heating element. A relay circuit controls current to the heating element. A temperature sensor monitors heat at the heating element and a water level switch detects water level in the reservoir. If the temperature sensor detects excessive temperature at the heating element, the controller transmits a disable signal to the relay circuit to thereby stop any current to the heating element. If the water level switch detects a low water level in the reservoir, the controller transmits a signal to the control panel to thereby disable the starting of brewing cycle. A display panel displays an operational mode of the machine and the user can't start the machine in any nullRun Modenull when either a high temperature or low water condition is determined.

摘要： A coffee machine (10) comprises a removable brewing unit (18), in which ground coffee powder is compacted in a brewing chamber along a main axis of the brewing unit (18) between a movable lifting bottom and a plunger that can be displaced toward the lifting bottom. Pressurized hot water is pressed through the compacted coffee powder. Afterwards, the lifting bottom and plunger are displaced together along the main axis in order to push the remaining filter cake out of the brewing chamber whereby ejecting it transversal to the main axis. The aim of the invention is to provide a coffee machine of the aforementioned type with a simplified and space-saving design as well as with an easier accessibility for cleaning and maintenance purposes. To these ends, the brewing unit (18) is designed so that it can be pushed into the coffee machine (10) from the front towards the back with the main axis parallel to the direction of insertion.

摘要： The present invention relates to an aroma dispensing device that includes a first storage container for storing an aroma containing solvent, an extraction column for extracting the aroma from the solvent to substantially remove aroma from the solvent and for dispensing the aroma out of the dispensing device, and a second storage container to salvage the solvent when depleted in aroma after extraction by the extraction column. It also relates to a process for dispensing aromas by extracting an aroma from a supply of a fluid, non-volatile solvent for use in aromatizing one or more or a food-forming or beverage forming ingredient or a food or beverage product, thus forming an aroma-depleted solvent; and salvaging the aroma-depleted solvent for re-use as a carrier of further aroma(s).

摘要： Systems and methods for brewing beverages in accordance with the present invention can improve the flavor of brewed beverages and reduce the vertical space required for a system using suction. One such assembly comprises a brewing chamber adapted to hold a filter having an intake duct for receiving fluid for brewing, and an output duct for expelling a brewed beverage. The brewing chamber is positioned above a pressurizable container, or carafe, having an adjustable standpipe and containing the fluid. The carafe has a heated base, which when heated causes pressure to build up, forcing the fluid up the standpipe, through a check valve, through the intake duct and into the filter. Once substantially all of the fluid has been urged into the brew chamber, the heat is removed, creating a partial vacuum that pulls the brewed beverage back into the carafe. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
