摘要:
A method for interactive programming of a beverage brewing apparatus is presented. The method includes activating a beverage brewing apparatus; initiating a beverage brewing process within a microprocessor installed within the beverage brewing apparatus when commanded by a user; recording user responses to setup instructions presented as audible, vocal instructions from a speech circuit the verbal speech element associated with the beverage brewing apparatus; and brewing a selected beverage in accordance with the recorded user responses.

There are provided drinking vessels adapted to receive coffee grounds and water to brew coffee wherein the drinking vessels comprise pump means. In one embodiment a drinking vessel (100,200) comprises a first chamber adapted to receive coffee grounds and hot water, a second chamber adapted to receive brewed coffee and a third chamber adapted to receive brewed coffee. Also provided drinking vessel sections (101,102,201,202), a kit of parts and a method of brewing coffee.
摘要:
A method for producing an extract and/or a squeezed liquid, which includes: feeding a food to be extracted and/or squeezed into a crushing apparatus; adding a solvent into the crushing apparatus immediately after and/or while milling the food; extracting and/or squeezing a useful food component of the food into the solvent; and carrying out liquid-solid separation by removing the resulting extracted residue and/or squeezed residue with a continuous solid-liquid separation apparatus.
摘要:
A process for the continuous extraction of water soluble solids from solid particles containing them for providing an extract product in one or more extraction stages. In each extraction stage, a slurry containing particles to be extracted and extract is introduced into an extraction reactor to form an upwardly moving packed bed. Particles are scraped from the packed bed for defining an upper surface of the packed bed. An extraction liquid is introduced into the extraction reactor above the upper surface of the packed bed. A portion of the extraction liquid percolating through the packed bed for extracting water soluble substances from the particles in the packed bed and forming an extract. The remaining portion of the extraction liquid entrains the particles scraped from the packed bed for providing a spent particles slurry. The spent particles slurry is removed from the extraction reactor. Extract is removed from below the packed bed and at least a portion of the extract forms the extract product. The extraction stages may be separated by one or more solubilization stages. Examples of water soluble substances are soluble coffee solids or soluble tea solids.
摘要:
Primary extraction of ground roasted coffee. The coffee is first extracted with an amount of aqueous extraction liquid sufficient to extract substantially all of the dry soluble solids from the coffee, but preferably not so large that the extract must be concentrated for further processing. The coffee is next extracted with an aqueous extraction liquid to extract hydrophobic flavor components. The hydrophobic flavor components are removed from the resulting extract by stripping and recovered as a concentrated aqueous solution.
摘要:
An improved instant coffee is prepared by subjecting roast and finely ground coffee particles of 5-800 microns to devolatilization and extraction operations under conditions which sustain the freshness of a desirable coffee volatiles and soluble solids. A semi-bed of mechanically fluidized roasted and ground coffee particles is sprayed with 32.degree.-110.degree. F water and contacted with steam for devolatilization under an absolute pressure of 5-100 mm of Hg and a temperature of 32.degree.-110.degree. F. The resulting volatiles-laden steam is then condensed under an absolute pressure of about 4-80 mm of Hg and under supercooling conditions to provide a frost. A coffee volatiles-containing concentrate is made from that frost by contacting it with an aqueous coffee extract. Valuable coffee solids remaining in the devolatilized roast and fine ground coffee particles are extracted therefrom by a slurry extraction operation. Gentle agitation is employed to negotiate the extraction of soluble coffee solids without the release and emulsification of bitter coffee oils. The extract is separated from slurry insolubles. This extract and the coffee-volatiles concentrate provide the components of an improved instant coffee.
摘要:
An interactive programmable beverage brewing apparatus providing audible setup and control instructions for ease of use is presented. The beverage brewing apparatus includes the ability to audibly instruct a user in the steps for setup of the beverage flavor characteristics when a beverage is to be brewed, and provide audible instructions in the use of the machine during normal brewing operations. The beverage brewing apparatus also provides a visual display to present phrases and icons to assist the user in performing setup and brew operations in conjunction with the audible instructions. Visual phrases and icons presented to a user also provide instruction in how to setup and control timers and how to turn on and off one or more warming plates to keep a beverage hot during and after brewing.
摘要:
A brewing apparatus including a fluid reservoir having a first end and a second end. The brewing apparatus can include a lid portion configured to removably engage the first end of the fluid reservoir and a cartridge holder configured to removably engage the second end of the fluid reservoir. A spring-loaded plunger can slidably connect to the lid portion.
