摘要:
A beverage-making machine having a housing that has a capsule insertion opening through which a portion capsule is inserted and having a brewing module having a first brewing module part and a second brewing module part that is movable relative to the first brewing module part. A brewing chamber can be formed by the first and second brewing module parts, the brewing chamber at least partly surrounding the portion capsule which is in a brewing position during the brewing process in order to brew a brewed beverage and discharge same out of the portion capsule. The beverage-making machine also has an electric drive for moving the second brewing module part relative to the first brewing module part and a controller for controlling the electric drive. The controller determines the current position of the second brewing module part relative to the first brewing module part at all times.

The control circuit for self-turn-off of an automatic machine, connectable to a domestic voltage power line (L1, L2), comprises a logic controller (1) having low electric power supply voltage, a power supply (2) for the logic controller (1), at least one switch (3) to control at least one electrical load (4, 5) of the machine, connected to the logic controller (1), an electrically actuated deviator (6) connected to the logic controller (1) and switchable between machine activation status, in which a main electric power line (7) of the power supply (2) is connected to the power line (L1, L2), and machine deactivation status, in which a secondary electric power line (8) of the power supply (2) is connected to the power line (L1, L2), having a switch (9) normally open activatable by a manual reactivation button on the machine, said normally open switch (9) being connected to the logic controller (1), and electrical energy storage means for maintaining the electric power supply of the logic controller (1) for the entire operating time of the deviator (6) switching, automatically generated by the closure of t e reactivation switch (9), from machine deactivation status to activation status.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for forming a beverage. Movement of a brew chamber may automatically enable the provision of beverage precursor liquid into a reservoir in a brewer, which is then used (heated or not) to form a beverage. For example, closing of the brew chamber may cause a lid for a water reservoir to be fully opened or otherwise permit movement of the lid to allow access to the reservoir, allowing a user to provide water into the reservoir. The reservoir lid may open with an abrupt action, causing attention to be drawn to the reservoir lid. In another arrangement, closure of the brew chamber may cause actuation of a baffle, pump, valve or other device to provide a suitable amount of water to a reservoir for beverage formation. In another arrangement, opening of the brew chamber may cause the reservoir lid to be automatically and simultaneously opened with the brew chamber.
摘要:
A liquid-overflow device includes a generally horizontal platform for catching overflow liquid from a small appliance, such as a coffee maker, and a container beneath the platform that receives the liquid flowing through aperture(s) in the platform. The platform may be topographically structured to direct liquid to the apertures, and/or may be larger than the footprint of the appliance in order to extend outward beyond the appliance footprint in all horizontal directions. The container contains more than the liquid capacity of the appliance. The device is preferably removable from beneath the appliance for carrying to an appropriate place to empty the contents, preferably by tipping the device to drain the liquid out through corner/outer perimeter apertures. The device may be separate from and not connected to the appliance, may be connected but removable from the appliance, or may be integrally connected to the appliance.
摘要:
A controller and method of controlling an integrated beverage blending system comprising: a controller for menu selection; an ice portion control module; an ingredient module; a dispensing apparatus in communication with the ice portion control module and the ingredient module, wherein the ice and the ingredient are dispensed into a beverage container via the dispensing apparatus; and at least one blender/mixer/cleaner module which blends and/or mixes the ice and the ingredient in the beverage container, thereby producing the beverage; wherein, upon removal of the beverage container from the blender/mixer/cleaner module, the blender/mixer/cleaner module initiates a cleaning mode.
摘要:
A beverage preparing device includes a beverage outlet that is vertically adjustable and is adapted to dispense a beverage into a receptacle. The beverage outlet has a safety device including a safety switch or safety sensor for interrupting height adjustment of the beverage outlet when the beverage outlet approaches or contacts the receptacle. An actuating member is pivotable about a joint so as to activate the safety switch or safety sensor. The actuating member includes a contact surface adapted to activate the safety switch or safety sensor and an additional contact surface for interrupting the height adjustment of the beverage outlet when an upper end position of the beverage outlet is reached.
摘要:
The liquid-overflow platform and container device includes a generally horizontal platform for catching overflow liquid from a small appliance, such as a coffee maker, and a container attached beneath the platform that receives the liquid flowing through apertures in the platform. The apertures are less than 10% of the platform area. The platform may be topographically structured to encourage liquid to drain into the apertures, and is larger than the footprint of the appliance. The container is sized to contain more than the liquid capacity of the small appliance. The device is removable from beneath the appliance for carrying to an appropriate place to empty the contents, preferably by tipping the device to drain the liquid through platform corner apertures. The device may be separate from, and not connected to, the appliance, or may be sold as a connected but removable portion of the appliance.
摘要:
A beverage maker including a housing, a lid, a brew chamber, and a removable dispensing assembly. The lid rotates to selectively permit access to the brew chamber, which is enclosed by the housing. The dispensing assembly includes a brewed beverage reservoir, dispensing channel, and dispensing outlet. The dispensing outlet and channel extend outwardly from the brewed beverage reservoir and the front face of the beverage maker. In use, the beverage maker dispenses coffee to a brewed beverage receptacle, such as a travel mug, coffee cup or the like.
