An automatic beverage maker having a water supply, a housing having a base, a body and a pod section, a sealed water tank within the housing body, a heating system for controlling the heating of water contained within the water tank, a first water line connecting the water supply to the water tank inlet, a second water e connecting the water outlet to the cavity of the housing pod section, a water pump for moving water from the water supply to the tank via the first water line and from the tank to the cavity of the housing pod section via the second water line. A drain line fluidly coupled to the sealed tank and having an open end for discharging water from the sealed water tank may also be used.

A recirculation brewing process and apparatus for performing the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the coffee brewing process comprises: a brew chamber to hold a packed chamber of coffee grounds; and a pump to force a liquid under pressure through the packed chamber of coffee grounds to extract coffee flavor from the coffee grounds into the liquid using acoustic cavitation.

A beverage brewer spray apparatus includes a lid, dispersal members, and a skirt. The lid has an obverse and converse surfaces. The dispersal members extend from the converse surface of the lid at open proximal ends of the dispersal members. The skirt has a proximal end fixed to and extending outward from the converse surface of the lid. Each dispersal member has a sidewall and a distal end defining an interior of the dispersal member. The sidewall has apertures arranged in a distal section of the sidewall. The lid has through-holes formed between the obverse and converse surfaces, and the dispersal members are fixed to the converse surface such that the through-holes provide fluid communication from the obverse surface of the lid to the apertures through the interiors of the dispersal members. The apertures are configured to direct liquid outward from the dispersal members.

A beverage preparation machine for dispensing beverages comprising: a housing; a first reservoir station; a first reservoir for containing an aqueous medium, the first reservoir being connectable to said first reservoir station; an auxiliary module station for receiving an auxiliary module.

A machine (10) for inhibiting pathogenic agents during the preparation of beverages based on breast-milk substitutes and/or powdered products or the like is described, comprising: a water line starting from a water tank (3) and ending with at least one water outlet; at least one tank (1) for the powdered preparation, adapted to contain a powdered preparation or the like; said tank (1) being refillable; a compartment (4) adapted to at least partially accommodate said at least one tank (1); at least one hopper element (6) comprising a first inlet (12) adapted to receive the water coming out of said water tank (3) and the powdered preparation delivered by said at least one tank (1) for the powdered preparation and a delivery mouth (13) for delivering the water and preparation mixed, characterized in that: said at least one tank (1) for the powdered preparation can be removably inserted in said machine (10) for preparing a beverage; and in that said hopper element (6) can be coupled with and decoupled from the machine (10); said hopper element (6) comprising a closing element (17) operated to slide between a working position, wherein it does not allow to deliver the water and preparation mixed from said hopper element (6), and an open position, wherein the delivery of the water and preparation mixed from said hopper element (6) is allowed; said closing element (17) being connected to a control unit configured to make said closing element (17) switch from the working position to the opening position once the inner temperature of the liquid inside the hopper element (6) has exceeded a first threshold value and has dropped back down below a second threshold value, said first threshold value being equal to 70°, said second threshold value being equal to 35°.

A recording system of brewing pour over coffee which comprises a touch screen, a robotic manipulator and a storage unit. The touch screen displays information, such as coffee drippers, water amounts, etc, thereon and for a user to input a process of brewing pour over coffee thereon. The touch screen allows the user to manage the status of the pour over coffee in real-time. The robotic manipulator equipped with a water injection unit, which moves the water injection unit according to the process of brewing pour over coffee to pour water to a coffee dripper simultaneously to make coffee. The storage unit stores data, such as a position where the water to be poured, a route of the process of brewing pour over coffee, a speed of the pouring motion and the required amount of water to be poured during the process of brewing pour over coffee.

Apparatus and methods are provided for brewing a beverage from precursor particulates. The apparatus comprises a liquid delivery system for delivering liquid into a brewing basket. The liquid delivery system comprises a showerhead disposed above at least a portion of the brewing basket. The showerhead has a plurality of outlet openings through which liquid flows outward from the showerhead into the brew basket. At least two of the outlet openings are oriented to direct the flow of liquid out of the showerhead at least in part transversely of the brew basket.
