Abstract:
A device (10) for use in the preparation of beverages, for managing the draw-off of water from a source of hot water comprises a chamber (11) having a base (12), a cylindrical wall (13) mounted on the base (12) and a top section illustrated generally at (14). An inlet (15) and a return outlet (16) are mounted in the base (12), and both the inlet (15) and the return outlet (16) are connectable to a source of hot water. Three draw-off outlets (17, 19) are also mounted in the base (12). The return outlet (16) consists of a hollow tube section (32), which passes through the base (12) to form a stand pipe (33). In use, hot water is introduced into the chamber (11) through inlet (15) and the chamber (11) is orientated such that return outlet (16) is positioned above the inlet (15). The inlet flow rate is equal to or greater than the draw-off flow rate, and any excess volume of hot water in the chamber (11) is returnable, to the source of hot water, through the return outlet (16), thereby creating a constant head of water above the draw-off outlets (17, 9).
Abstract:

The first water heater (15) is arranged in fluid communication with a water supply (18) for heating water from the water supply (18) from an ambient temperature (Tl) to a first elevated temperature (T2). The second water heater (21) is arranged in fluid communication with the first water heater (15) for heating the water from the first elevated temperature (T2) to a dispensing temperature (T3), that is higher than the first elevated temperature (Tl). The second water heater (21) includes a storage tank (20) arranged in fluid communication with a dispensing outlet (45).
Abstract:
The machine (1) for the dispensing of espresso coffee comprises: at least a boiler (3), associable with a bearing structure (2), for the containment and heating of water, at least a container (4) suitable for containing water for the dispensing of coffee, at least an inlet hydraulic circuit (5) suitable for connecting the boiler (3) and the container (4) to a water feeding line, at least a coffee dispensing unit (6), at least an outlet hydraulic circuit (7) suitable for connecting at least the container (4) to the coffee dispensing unit (6) and where the hydraulic inlet circuit (5) comprises at least a one-piece inlet block (8) inside which is predefined at least a water transit duct (9) having at least an inlet port (9a) connectable to a water feeding line, at least a transit mouth (9b) communicating with the boiler (3) and at least an outlet port (9c) communicating with the container (4).
Abstract:
A sealed capsule for use in apparatus including a capsule receiving station and a water delivery system for brewing a hot beverage in which a hot liquid under pressure infuses a material. A capsule base has a concave bottom floor with angularly spaced structural ribs that form channels for directing brewed beverage to a sharpened spout. A collar surrounds the dispensing spout. A foil attaches to the collar to overlie the spout. A filter lies on the structural ribs. Infusible material lies on the filter. A water distribution plate overlies the infusible material. A cover closes the base unit and includes a water inlet. As the capsule seats in the capsule receiving station, the foil seal is forced over the sharpened spout to rupture and enable brewed beverage to be dispersed. A probe of the water delivery system also penetrates the cover to direct water into the capsule without contacting the infusible material or the brewed beverage.
