摘要： A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber.

摘要： A beverage system and methods for preparing flavored beverages are provided. In one embodiment, the beverage system includes a housing, a flavorant system, and a processor. The housing includes a mixing chamber configured to operably couple to a fluid reservoir and pressurized gas source. The processor is disposed in the housing and can be configured to cause, in response to at least one input, the separate dispensing of a fluid and a flavorant into a receptacle. The processor can also cause the delivery of gas from the pressurized gas source to the mixing chamber, where it can be used to form a carbonated fluid.

摘要： A brewer includes: a nozzle configured to dispense a stream of water downward; a holder configured to hold a container for coffee grinds or tea below the nozzle to receive the stream of water; a first electrode disposed adjacent to the stream of water dispensed by the nozzle; a voltage source electrically coupled to the first electrode through an electrical circuit and configured to apply a voltage to the first electrode; and a controller communicatively coupled to the electrical circuit and configured to control a magnitude of the voltage applied to the first electrode from the voltage source. Varying the magnitude of the voltage applied to the first electrode generates an electrical field that changes a distance of the stream of water from the first electrode.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for preparing a beverage and to a beverage preparation device (1), such as a beverage dispenser, for simpler and more efficient cleaning of the device (1). The beverage preparation device (1) comprises: a discharge line (23) for discharging water via a discharge outlet (24), a pump (26) for selectively circulating water along the discharge line (23) towards the discharge outlet (24), and one or more flushing lines (90, 95) with a flushing outlet (91, 96). The beverage preparation device (1) is configured to operate in a discharging mode and in a flushing mode, such that in the discharging mode the pump (26) is arranged to circulate water along the discharge line (23) towards and out of the discharge outlet (24), and in the flushing mode at least part of the water in the discharge line (23) flows by gravity from the discharge line (23) into the one or more flushing lines (90, 95) and subsequently out of the flushing outlet (91, 96).
