In described embodiments, a hot liquid extraction system includes a vessel, a controllable steam and water source external from the vessel which heats the liquid of the corresponding vessel, a filter assembly disposed within the vessel operable to filter and remove a solid from the brewed beverage, and a valve to dispense the filtered beverage from the base of the brew vessel. Some embodiments include one or more valves operable to regulate water flow and steam into the brewing vessel, and a filter operable to separate a brewed liquid from a flavor base and to remove a spent flavor base from the system. Some embodiments include processor control of the system, allowing for operation tailored to individual user requirements that might be downloaded to the processor through various wired and non-wired interfaces.

A process for infusing a consumable substance is described. The process includes the steps of placing a desired amount of an infusion material into a chamber at atmospheric pressure, placing a desired amount of consumable substance into said chamber, sealing said chamber from the surrounding atmosphere, and applying at least one reduced pressure cycle within said chamber. Methods for separating the infusion material from the consumable substance after completion of the infusion process are also described. In addition, devices for infusing liquids or consumable substances, and/or brewing beverages are described. The present invention relates to an apparatus for brewing beverages or infusing a consumable substance having a vessel, said vessel having a sealable chamber for holding a brewing or infusion material and a liquid or consumable substance, and a filter assembly connected to the sealable chamber; a liquid supply and conduit for introducing at least a portion of said liquid supply into said sealable chamber; and a vacuum source and conduit for reducing pressure in said sealable chamber.

Devices and methods for infusing liquids and/or brewing beverages are described. The present invention relates to an apparatus for brewing beverages comprising a vessel, said vessel comprising a sealable chamber for holding a brewing material and a liquid, and a filter assembly connected to the sealable chamber; a liquid supply and conduit for introducing at least a portion of said liquid supply into said sealable chamber; and a vacuum source and conduit for reducing pressure in said sealable chamber.

A coffee or tea filtering device including a hollow cylinder, a basket, a cup, and a pump. The hollow cylinder may include a top end, a bottom end, and a curvate sidewall extending between the top end and bottom end. The top may be open. The bottom end may be at least partially open and include a first portion of a coupling mechanism and a retaining portion. The removable basket may be sized to be received within the top end of the hollow cylinder. The removable basket may be configured to support coffee grounds or tea leaves. The cup may releasably couple to the first portion of the coupling mechanism of the bottom end of the hollow cylinder. The pump may be configured to pump air from the cup out the opening so as to force a fluid from the hollow cylinder through the basket and into the cup.

A coffee machine for the preparation of pressure-extracted coffee with a low particle content is provided. The coffee machine differs from known machines for pressure-extraction of coffee by comprising a filter element for reducing the particle content of coffee, which filter element is disposed downstream of the percolating sieve and is connected fluidically to the percolating sieve and to the outflow. By means of the filter element, coffee extracted by pressure in the percolating unit can be filtered before dispensing the outflow so that suspended particles and emulsified oils of a specific size are separated from the coffee by the filter element and a new coffee is produced. In addition, the coffee machine can prepare standard pressure-extracted coffee since the coffee from the percolating unit can also be guided past the filter element, i.e. need not flow necessarily via the filter element to the outflow.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of mocha pot and discloses an anti-deflection mocha pot, which includes an upper pot. The upper pot includes a pot body and a base. The pot body is through from top to bottom, and the bottom horizontally extends inwards with a convex ring. The base includes a base plate on a lower end surface of the convex ring, a press disc on an upper end surface of the convex ring and an anti-deflection locking mechanism locking the press disc and the base plate. The anti-deflection locking mechanism includes at least two sealing locking members circumferentially arranged at equal intervals around a center of the base plate. A good sealing effect is achieved on the pot body and base of the upper pot of the mocha pot, and the base is prevented from being deflected relative to the pot body.
