摘要: The present invention relates to a portable household beverage machine comprising a body structure and a cup which is detachably connected to the body structure. A tank, a pump, a capsule bin for containing a substance to be brewed and a capsule bin pedestal for closing the capsule bin which are communicated in sequence are provided in the body structure. The capsule bin pedestal is detachably connected to the body structure or the capsule bin and is communicated with the cup. A space formed when the cup is connected to the body structure can contain all beverages that are output. In the portable household beverage machine according to the present invention, by arranging the tank, the pump, the capsule bin and the capsule bin pedestal in the body structure, and by detachably connecting the body structure with the cup, beverage machine is small in size and convenient for a user to carry. By arranging the pump, water in the tank automatically becomes high pressure water after passing through the pump, and then the high pressure water is mixed with the substance to be brewed in the capsule bin after flowing into the capsule bin, such that a beverage is made. The beverage flows into the cup connected to the body structure eventually, and then a user may drink the fragrant beverage after taking the cup.

摘要: A drinks machine has an output nozzle for delivering hot water or steam, Steam is used by a milk frothing unit whereas hot water is delivered by the output nozzle directly to the exterior of the drinks machine for collection in a drinks vessel. A single nozzle is thus provided for steam or hot water delivery and there is no need for any accessory when delivering hot water. This means that there is reduced cost, fewer components to lose, and simplified cleaning, in that only per-use cleaning of the milk frothing unit is required, not the fixed parts of the appliance associated with the milk frothing unit.

摘要: An infused beverage brewing assembly having a solvent flow management system (SFMS) operably configured to receive a solvent and induce a flow of the solvent through a first solvent conduit and a second solvent conduit, a solvent temperature modulation system (STMS) operably configured to thermally modulate a solvent within the first solvent conduit to join with a solvent in the second solvent conduit to form a resulting solvent conduit with a resulting solvent. The assembly has a brewing chamber in fluid communication with the resulting solvent conduit and for housing a solute disposed to receive the resulting solvent to produce an infused beverage, an outlet for discharging the infused beverage, and a resulting solvent valve operably configured to select a path of the resulting solvent until reaching a desired temperature, thereby enabling resulting solvent delivered to the brewing chamber at a desired temperature.

摘要: A system and method is provided for real time automatic scoring of physical and operational properties of automatic espresso coffee machines applicable both for a single machine and a network of machines. The scoring scheme includes semantic context based on automatic monitoring of operation process variables and end-user annotations and scoring criteria. The method is decoupled from the coffee machine's controlling apparatus and utilizes a sensory reading device that is able to communicate over standard and proprietary network protocols with sensors and with other devices of the same type over direct, peer to peer or standard network, and Internet connections.

摘要: The present invention relates to a beverage preparation device designed for preparing a beverage upon injection of liquid into an ingredients-containing cartridge, the device comprising a pump (106) coupled between a fluid inlet (102) and a fluid outlet (104) for pumping the fluid from said inlet to said outlet, and a processing unit (108) for the pump (106) adapted to control an operation of the pump in response to an electrical energy (121) having a wave form such that the pump is energized only throughout selected half cycles (a1,a2,a3 . . . an) of the wave form of the electrical energy, wherein the processing unit (108) is configured to determine the respective selected half cycles (a1,a2,a3 . . . an) in which the pump is energized based on a target ratio (TR) of a target flow rate (FR) and a predefined maximum flow rate of the pump, and based on the calculation of an activation ratio (AR) of the number of past half cycles (A) for which the pump was energized to the number of overall half cycles (B) during a respective beverage preparation process. The present invention further relates to a method for controlling a pump in a beverage preparation device.

摘要: A beverage dispenser, in which a filter is arranged between the lower end of a brewing chamber and the upper end of a fluid receptacle, and a beverage brewed by supplying a raw material and water to the chamber and filtered by the filter is received in the fluid receptacle, and is thereafter delivered to a cup along a beverage path. The beverage dispenser includes a pump arranged partway along the beverage path, and that reduces a pressure in the fluid receptacle to draw the beverage from the chamber, and delivers it to the cup. A predetermined quantity of the raw material and a first quantity of water are supplied to the chamber, and thereafter, during the delivering of beverage, a second quantity of water is supplied to the chamber, so that without interruption, the beverage is delivered to and served in the cup C.

摘要: A method and apparatus for extracting compounds from raw materials with an extraction column is provided. The control and manipulation of pressure exerted and contained within the extraction vessel or column may be vital in obtaining a certain flavor profile or intensity of the effluent extracted from the raw materials. As such, the method may include directing a flow of pressurized solvent into a base of the extraction column and utilizing the flow of pressurized solvent to create a pressure gradient applied to the raw materials. The method may further include compressing the raw materials with hydraulic compression. As the raw materials become further compressed, frictional heating may result allowing most, if not all, of the volatile aromatic heat sensitive compounds and constituencies to be extracted depending on the pressure strength applied to the raw materials. As such, manipulating the pressure gradients for each extraction process allows for distinct and specific flavor profiles to be extracted from the raw materials.

摘要: Embodiments are directed towards regulating flow rate in an espresso machine, during a multi-phase brewing process which includes a pre-brew and an extraction phase. During the pre-brew phase, coffee grounds are slowly pre-wetted and/or out-gassed with a first volume of water delivered at a first flow rate. During the extraction phase, a second volume of water is delivered, at a second flow rate, to extract espresso, where the second volume is delivered at a generally greater pressure than the first volume. The second flow rate is greater than the first flow rate. The flow rates, volumes, and pressures are regulated by the espresso machine, which includes a flow rate regulation assembly that comprises first and second flow paths and first and second valves. Baristas may vary the flow rate, volume, and pressure of water throughout the brewing process by opening, closing, or otherwise adjusting at least one of the valves.
