Coffee machine comprising a milk dispensing device having a jug containing the milk from which the milk is drawn by means of a steam flow fed to a Venturi-effect chamber connected to the jug, where the machine body has an optical means for detecting the level of the milk present in said jug comprising at least a first operative infrared optical means for detecting at least around a first level of milk in said jug, where a controller is configured to control a current milk dispensing cycle at least on the basis of the signal acquired by the optical detection means.

The present invention related to a cooking device having a cooking glass bowl, wherein the cooking glass bowl has a large weight to improve the safety of the cooling device during operation of the cooling device equipped with a high-speed motor. The cooking device having the cooking glass bowl according to the present invention, comprises: a glass bowl portion (100) including a cooking glass bowl (110) having a handle base (111) extending from and integrally formed with an outer side surface of one side thereof, a bowl base (120) including a heater (170) and fastened to an outer circumferential surface of a lower end of the cooking glass bowl (110), and handle portions (400, 500) fastened and fixed at opposite ends of the handle base by being brought into close contact with each other so as to cover the handle base (111) of the cooking glass bowl (110) while maintaining a tight contact state in a direction perpendicular to the outer circumferential surface of the cooking glass bowl (110); and a body portion (200) which generates a driving force in an internal space formed inside thereof and supplies a power to the heater (170) or a generator (260) by voltage conversion.

A portable foodstuff container and method of dispensing foodstuff from the portable container are disclosed herein. Such a portable foodstuff may include a portable body with a reservoir configured to contain a foodstuff and a dispenser configured to dispense the foodstuff contained in the reservoir, a pump disposed within the body and configured to convey the foodstuff from the reservoir to the dispenser when activated to dispense the foodstuff through the dispenser, and a controller disposed in the body and coupled to the pump. The controller may be configured to activate the pump to dispense a user-selected amount of foodstuff from the dispenser.

A supply device for one or more beverage-dispensing machines (1a, 1b) is provided, having a holding space for the insertion of at least two storage containers (5a, 5b) for liquid foods, in particular milk, which storage containers can be connected to the one or more beverage-dispensing machines by food lines (4a, 4b, 4a, 4b). The supply device (2) has a cooling device (10) for the temperature control of liquid foods contained in the storage containers to a specifiable target temperature. A thermally conductive, in particular metal, contact surface (8a, 8b) is provided for each of the food containers (5a, 5b), which contact surface is in thermally conductive contact with a thermally conductive outer wall (7a, 7b), in particular bottom surface, of the storage container in question when the storage container is installed, in order to cool the contents of the storage container. In addition, the thermally conductive contact surfaces can be cooled by the cooling device (10) by separately controllable cooling circuits (9a, 9b).

The present application relates to the technical field of pans and in particular relates to a pan with measuring marks. Aiming at the defect of the existing pan in the aspect of oil amount measurement, the adopted technical solution is as follow: a pan with measuring marks comprises a pan body and a pan handle mounted on the pan body; a first measuring mark is provided on a bottom surface of the pan body; a second measuring mark cooperatively used with the first measuring mark is provided on an inner sidewall of the pan body; and when the pan body is inclined, the measurement of oil amount is realized through the cooperative use of the first measuring mark and the second measuring mark. The present application can realize measurement by operating the pan handle only to enable the pan body to be inclined, and the operation is convenient to perform; and no measuring tool is needed to measure the oil amount, the oil amount can be relatively accurately controlled and the pan is simple and convenient to use.
