A method of preparing a brewed beverage using a beverage brewing apparatus includes providing a flavorant, identifying a process cycle including one or more infusion cycles for preparing the brewed beverage, performing said one or more infusion cycles, wherein said performing of said one or more infusion cycles includes providing fluid to said flavorant, and varying a temperature of said fluid provided to said flavorant during a single infusion cycle of said one or more infusion cycles, or between a plurality of infusion cycles of said one or more infusion cycles.

A tea making appliance may include a base, a particulate guide, a tea leaf container, a motorized leaf distributor, a reservoir, a water pump, a heating element, and a controller. The base may define a dispenser cavity. The particulate guide may be directed at the dispenser cavity. The motorized leaf distributor may be provided to selectively provide tea leaves to the particulate guide. The water pump may be in fluid communication with the reservoir upstream from the dispenser cavity to direct water thereto. The controller may be configured to initiate an automated brewing operation that includes receiving one or more data points regarding a physical user condition, selecting a personalized tea style based on the received one or more data points, and dispensing a predetermined tea mass of the personalized tea style automatically in response to selecting the personalized tea style.

An inlet valve (10) for an infusion container (20) to receive a dried infusion substance, and to an infusion container (20). The inlet valve (10) includes a closure cap (11) and a valve body (12). The closure cap (11) and the valve body (12) are connected to one another in a separable manner via a thinned material location (13).

A magnetic device includes a cup body, a tea strainer and a cup lid, the cup lid is provided with a separation mechanism for tea strainer including a stressed block and a separation magnet, which is mounted on the stressed block, the stressed block under stress changes the relative position between the separation magnet and the cup lid, the tea strainer is provided with a magnetically attractive metal block and is attracted to the center of the bottom of the cup lid by attraction force between the separation magnet and the magnetically attractive metal block, the separation magnet moves away from the magnetically attractive metal block, such that the attraction force between them is decreased, when it is less than the gravity of the tea strainer, the tea strainer falls down to the bottom of the cup body under gravity.

The present disclosure relates to a lifting device for a strainer for preparing extraction beverages, particularly a tea strainer, which comprises a timer, a spring for generating a lifting force on the strainer, a latch which can be moved between a first latch position and a second latch position, and a magnet. The latch keeps the spring tensioned in the first latch position and allows relaxation of the spring in the second latch position. The magnet is configured to move the latch by magnetic interaction from the first latch position into the second latch position when the timer is in a zero position. The disclosure further relates to a device for preparing extraction beverages, particularly a tea maker, which comprises a housing, a space for receiving water, a strainer, which can be moved between a first strainer position, in which the strainer is located in said space, and a second strainer position, and such a lifting device. The lifting device keeps the strainer in the first strainer position in the first latch position and allows movement of the strainer into the second strainer position in the second latch position.

A disposable packaging form is provided for brewed, hot drinks. The invention allows a user to brew the hot drink, squeeze out the brewed contents, and stir the contents of the hot drink. Each action can be performed multiple times before disposal. In some embodiments, the device of the present invention dispenses sweeteners, creamers, flavorings and condiments. The present invention frees the user of the inconvenience of having to collect, wash, or dispose of the stirrers, squeezers and bags of the hot drink individually.

An infused beverage brewing assembly and system operably configured to receive a desired dispensed infused solution mass and a total infusion time utilized in an infusion algorithm to generate an infused solution. The system includes an electronic controller operably configured to initiate a time counter associated with an inducement of the flow of the solvent to generate a running infusion time and a first and second portions separated by a triggering condition, and to generate, in the second portion and dynamically, a remaining infusion time and a remaining dispensed infused solution mass, The electronic controller is also operable to execute the infusion algorithm in the second portion of the running infusion time to generate the solvent flow rate change sufficient to provide the remaining dispensed infused solution mass in the remaining infusion time based on the running infusion time, the desired dispensed infused solution mass, and the total infusion time.

A diffuser for beverages comprising: a container, a cover, an outer diffuser body, an inner diffuser body and a diffuser cover. The container has a containment space with a main opening. The cover has a stepped assembly opening. The outer diffuser body has a cup-shaped body with a side opening. The inner diffuser body has a cup-shaped body corresponding to the outer diffuser body, and the inner diffuser body has a filtering portion with a plurality of filtering apertures and a plurality of positioning protrusions. by rotating the inner diffuser body, the positioning protrusion moves between the open end and the closed end of the rotation slot to control the filtering portion of the inner diffuser body to align with the side opening of the outer diffuser body or offset away from the side opening to connect or separate the container and the inner diffuser body.

A mill includes a first mill having a first grinding region, a second mill having a second grinding region opposed to the first grinding region and provided to be rotatable relatively to the first mill, and a heat radiation mechanism which is provided in at least one of the first mill and the second mill and radiates friction heat generated as a result of rotation of the first mill and the second mill relative to each other, and the heat radiation mechanism is provided in a portion except for the first grinding region and the second grinding region.

A cold brew coffee apparatus has a first container, a second container, a centerpiece connector, and a filter. Preferably, the filter is positionable within the first container such that it divides the filter interior volume from the remainder of the first container interior volume. Preferably, cold brew infusion occurs when water in the first container interior volume passes through the water-permeable barrier and soaks coffee grounds within the filter interior volume to form a soluble coffee extract. An alternative cold brew coffee apparatus includes only a single brew chamber and a filter.
