The present invention relates to a method for extracting Dutch coffee and an apparatus thereof, and more particularly, to a method for extracting Dutch coffee, which can exactly control a speed of extraction of Dutch coffee and an amount of coffee to be extracted by supplying water during a predetermined time repeatedly at regular time intervals in each step, can always provide Dutch coffee of a constant concentration to consumers by uniformly distributing water to a filtering container, and can provide a rich aroma of Dutch coffee by collecting the aroma of Dutch coffee not to dissipate, and an apparatus thereof. The method for extracting Dutch coffee controls an amount of extracted coffee by setting an opening time of a valve mounted between a water tank and a filtering container, controls a speed of extraction by setting one cycle length, and mechanically controls a total speed of extraction by setting a total time, and the Dutch coffee extraction apparatus includes: an upper main body frame; a lower main body frame which is formed on a lower portion of the upper main body frame and has a width shorter than that of the upper main body frame; a side frame which connects the upper main body frame and the lower main body frame with each other; a water tank which is disposed inside the upper main body frame and has a cover provided on an upper portion thereof to store water therein; a filtering container which is disposed at both sides of the lower main body frame, is connected with the water tank via a nozzle to receive water from the water tank, and stores ground coffee thereon; an extracted liquid storage container which is disposed under the filtering container to store an extracted liquid thereon; and a digital operation unit which is formed on one side of the side frame.

A knockdown pour-over kettle includes a kettle body and a first and a second kettle cover that are detachably assembled together. The first kettle cover can be installed in a first end of the kettle body to close the first end or removed from the first end to open the same. The second kettle cover can be detachably installed in a second end of the kettle body and has a base portion and a spout portion. Differently sized spout portions can be selectively detachably coupled to an end of a communicating passage formed in the base portion to communicate with a liquid storing space in the kettle body for pouring water. A third kettle cover can take the place of the second kettle cover to close the second end, so that the assembled kettle body and first and third kettle covers together form a thermo flask structure.

The present invention concerns a food capsule (100, 300) comprising a cup-shaped capsule body (101, 301) enclosing a cavity (102, 302) with an opening (105, 305) at a first end (103, 303), a second end (104, 304) comprising at least one outlet (106a, 106b, 310, 311) communicating with said cavity (102, 302); an injection wall (112, 314) closing said opening (105, 305); and at least one partition (107, 306) within said cavity (102, 302) extending from said injection wall (112, 314) to said second end (104, 304) of said capsule body (101, 301) and dividing said cavity (102, 302) into a plurality of chambers (108, 109, 308, 309); characterized in that each chamber houses a quantity of an alimentary substance (110, 111, 315, 316) and communicates with at least one outlet comprising an independently-operable closure means (106a, 106b, 310, 311) in said second end (104, 304).

A beverage preparation apparatus includes a liquid storage tank, a liquid supply path having one end serving as an introduction port and the other end serving as a supply port, a heating device for heating a liquid in the liquid supply path, a tank to which the liquid heated by the heating device is supplied through the supply port, an air passage path including an air inlet and an air outlet and sending air into the tank, and a fan arranged in the air passage path. The air passage path is provided to include a portion extending from a lower side toward an upper side along a peripheral surface of the liquid storage tank.
