Brewing material holder with a top water spray
A brewing material holder includes a closed bottom water dispersing member including ports providing streams of water from just under a holder lid bottom, for uniformly dispersing water into the brewing material in the holder. When water is injected into the holder, the flow of water is captured in the water dispersion member and directed up to the ports and sprayed horizontally or vertically into the brewing material, and sinks into brewing material contained in the brewing chamber. The water dispersion member may be attached to the holder lid or be part of the holder lid. A single centered port may be provided in the bottom of the dispensing member provides an additional spray and also helps drain the dispensing member after use.
Apparatus and method for extracting Dutch coffee
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.
FAST-UNCOUPLING SHOWER SCREEN FOR ESPRESSO COFFEE MACHINES
Fast-uncoupling shower screen for espresso coffee machines having a circular support dish provided with holes, a flow restrictor disposed under the circular support dish, and an elastically deformable retention element, whereto the flow restrictor is fitted in snap-in coupling mode because of the elastic deformability of the retention element.
Beverage machine
A beverage machine that includes a brewing chamber; and a dispensing spout for dispensing liquid into the brewing chamber, wherein the dispensing spout includes a liquid inlet; a main body having a central axis and at least a first liquid outlet and a second liquid outlet, wherein the second liquid outlet has a larger distance from the central axis than the first liquid outlet; a liquid distributor fluidly connecting the liquid inlet selectively to the first liquid outlet or to the second liquid outlet, and an actuator for changing a position of the liquid distributor relative to the main body between at least a first position, wherein the liquid inlet is fluidly connected to the first liquid outlet and a second position, wherein the liquid inlet is fluidly connected to the second liquid outlet.
IMITATION POUR-OVER COFFEE MACHINE DEVICE HAVING 3-AXIS DUAL-PLANE INTERACTING ACTUATOR
The present invention provides an imitation pour-over coffee machine device having 3-axis dual-plane interacting actuator, comprising: a body comprising a base having a water tank, a pump and a heating unit; an UI module; a brewing module comprising: a first driving module and a second driving module driving a dispensing head to move up, down, front and back; a co-brewing module controlling the cup carrier to rotate by a third driving module; a controlling module reading a signal of the UI module and then controls the actuation of the pump, the heating unit, the brewing module, and the co-brewing module. Through the implementation of the present invention, an effect of imitation pour-over coffee can be achieved.
Improved Automatic Drip Coffee Maker
A coffee maker having a water reservoir, a brew head assembly positioned in front of the water reservoir including a shower head member, a pivotally movable brew basket, and a water reservoir fill port located in front of the coffee maker within the brew head assembly, the water reservoir fill port being in direct communication with the water reservoir such that water can be poured directly into the water reservoir fill port over the top of the shower head member and brew basket to fill the water reservoir. The shower head member includes a first flow channel for delivering heated water to the brew basket and at least one second flow channel having at least one opening associated therewith for allowing steam generated within the brew basket to be channeled back to the water reservoir. A separate compartment for holding and storing a measuring spoon is also provided.
Coffee maker
A coffee maker includes an extractor configured to receive ground coffee and water and to extract coffee from the ground coffee, and a dispenser configured to supply water to the ground coffee in the extractor. The dispenser includes an arm that is rotatably disposed vertically above an inlet of the extractor and includes a nozzle configured to supply water to the ground coffee in the extractor, a first actuator configured to rotatably support the arm and to rotate the arm about a center of the inlet along an edge of the inlet, and a second actuator connected to the arm and configured to rotate the arm relative to the first actuator.
COFFEE MACHINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A COFFEE MACHINE
A coffee machine includes a device for supplying hot water to an outlet device into which a filter-paper insert with ground coffee is insertable. The outlet device is adapted for being arranged above a filter vessel and for receiving the hot water from the hot water supply. The outlet device has a central outlet opening over a middle region of the filter-paper insert when filled with ground coffee and a plurality of outer outlet openings arranged above a middle region of the side walls of the filled filter-paper insert. A controllable selector switch controls a rate of hot water through individual outlet openings of the outlet device. The controllable selector switch has at least three switching positions for adjusting coffee strength. In all switching positions of the controllable selector switch the hot water is at least partially supplied via the outer outlet openings over the filled filter-paper insert.
Coffee maker
A coffee maker with continuously adjustable water flow rate, continuously adjustable feedback-controlled water temperature, and low thermal mass allows baristas to experiment with and digitally program and/or record different flow-rate and temperature profiles (brewing profiles) over the course of brewing a cup or batch of coffee. Brewing profiles may be recorded on one machine and reproduced (played back) on another machine, allowing reproducibility of subtle flavor variations in brewed coffee.
GROUP HEAD VORTEX SHOWER
A group head vortex shower is used in a coffee machine and includes a bottom wall, a surrounding wall and a reflection wall. The surrounding wall extends from the bottom wall, surrounds a central axis, cooperates with the bottom wall to define a water inlet space, and has a plurality of outer outlets that are in fluid communication with the water inlet space. The reflection wall is sleeved around the surrounding wall, and has at least one curved inner surface that surrounds the central axis. Each of the outer outlets outputs a water jet from the water inlet space in a water outlet direction towards the at least one curved inner surface of the reflection wall. An imaginary extension line of each of the outer outlets and the central axis are skew lines.
