    摘要: The invention relates to a pipe arrangement for a fluid heating assembly formed of a single heat conductive pipe (1), comprising a stack, along a main axis (A) of the arrangement, of elongate loops (L1, L2, L3, L4) of said pipe (1) extending radially from the main axis (A) in directions substantially orthogonal to said main axis (A). The extension directions of two successive loops form a substantially constant angle between them, and the parts of the loops (L1, L2, L3, L4), in the stack, that are proximal in relation to the main axis (A) define a central channel around the main axis (A). The invention also relates to a fluid heating assembly comprising such a pipe arrangement, and to a portable hot beverage preparation machine comprising this fluid heating assembly.

    摘要: A steam show apparatus is provided with a water boiler; a heater for heating water in the water boiler to hot water and steam; a dispenser for dispensing hot water fed from the water boiler; an electromagnetic valve for brewing configured to open to allow hot water to enter a cup via the dispenser so as to make a beverage by mixing with material in the cup; at least one steam line each including an outlet; a steam controller co-activates with the electromagnetic valve for brewing so that in a beverage making process, steam in the steam line flows out of the outlet as a steam show; and a CPU for controlling an amount of the steam sprayed out of the outlet. It has an effect similar to dancing fountain.

    摘要: A coffee machine includes a pot liner and a heating mechanism for heating the pot liner. The pot liner has a water inlet and a water outlet. An automatic drain mechanism is provided at the water outlet of the pot liner for opening or blocking the water outlet according to the ambient temperature at the water outlet. The automatic drain mechanism can be used to control outflow of the heated water from the pot liner according to the ambient temperature, so that the structure for exhausting water is simplified and the size of the coffee machine is reduced. Moreover, the fluid flowing out under the pressure generated due to steam will facilitate to brew ground coffee, thereby enhancing the quality of coffee.

    摘要: A kitchen appliance includes a first reservoir for receiving a liquid to be used for preparing a beverage. A hot water generator (‘HWG’) has an inlet end, an outlet end and a passageway extending therebetween. The inlet end of the HWG is connected to the first reservoir. Liquid from the first reservoir flows into the HWG through the inlet end. A selector valve is connected to the outlet end of the HWG. At least a portion of the selector valve is movable by a user between a first valve position and a second valve position.
