A beverage producing apparatus includes: a separation apparatus configured to separate an unwanted substance from an extraction target; an extracting apparatus configured to extract a beverage liquid from the extraction target from which the unwanted substance is separated by the separation apparatus; and a housing configured to form an exterior of the beverage producing apparatus. The housing includes a first transmissive portion configured to make at least a part of the separation apparatus visible from an outside.

Method, machine and boiler for the preparation of beverages, in particular infusions such as coffee or tea; wherein the boiler has a central tank which delimits a superheating area for a liquid and an outer tank positioned around the central tank so as to delimit a heating area for the liquid and to allow the heating of the liquid in the heating area by means of the heat generated in the superheating area; the heating area having a first outlet for supplying hot liquid, the superheating area having a second outlet for the supply of steam.

An apparatus for brewing and dispensing beverages such as coffee, said apparatus comprising a water tank comprising a water inlet configured for fresh water supply, and one or more heater elements, said apparatus comprising a water tank outlet, which is connected via a hot water channel to a water faucet a brewing chamber and a dispensing nozzle, wherein said hot water channel has at least one section forming a flow path for hot water, said at least one section of said hot water channel is configured such that it is in direct thermal contact with the periphery of said water tank along the entire length of said at least one section of said hot water channel, and such that said at least one section of said hot water channel extends substantially parallel to the periphery of said water tank.

An extraction unit of a beverage preparation machine, the extraction unit to extract an ingredient of a beverage from a capsule, the extraction unit comprising: a capsule holder operable to move between a capsule receiving position and a capsule extraction position; a capsule holder loading system operable to actuate the capsule holder between the said positions, the capsule holder loading system comprising an actuator unit and a loading mechanism, the actuator unit to actuate the loading mechanism, wherein the loading mechanism comprises a planetary gear train and a linear actuator, the actuator unit to supply a rotary motion to the planetary gear train, the planetary gear train to gear down the said rotary motion, the linear actuator to: receive the said geared down rotary motion; convert the geared down rotary motion into linear motion; couple the said linear motion to the capsule holder.

Coffee machine (1) for preparation of a hot beverage with a heating system for dynamic thermal management, comprising a housing frame (2), in which are accommodated a water module (100) for providing brewing water, which comprises a first heating device (120), having a boiler (121) with a fresh water inlet (12) and with a first heating element (123) for providing water heated to a first temperature T.sub.1 and a brewing module (200), whereby the brewing module (200) comprises a brewing device (220) for brewing a predefined amount of coffee with brewing water and a dispensing unit (230) for dispensing brewed coffee, as well as, disposed in a brewing water feed line (260), a second heating device (250), to heat the water heated to the first temperature T.sub.1 to a second temperature T.sub.2. The coffee machine provides for the second heating device (250) accommodated in the brewing module (200) being a thick film heater (252) designed as continuous flow heater.

A device for delivering a liquid heated to a desired temperature under pressure in a microwave oven comprises a first chamber adapted to receive and hold a first volume of a liquid, a second chamber adapted to receive and hold a second volume of the liquid, a vapor flow path from the first chamber to the second chamber, and a liquid/vapor flow path from the second chamber to a destination outside of the second chamber. When the liquid in the first chamber reaches its boiling point and at least partially turns into a gas, at least a portion of the gas flows through the vapor flow path from the first chamber into the second chamber, thereby increasing a pressure in the second chamber. The increased pressure in the second chamber forces the liquid in the second chamber through the liquid/vapor flow path and out of the second chamber.

A nozzle structure having an intake end and an outtake end, wherein a lateral axis is associated with the center of the intake end. A plurality of nozzle bores are uniformly distributed over the outtake end, and each nozzle bore is orthogonal to the lateral axis. Each nozzle bore includes an outlet in communication with the intake end. A flow path between the inlet and outlet forms an acute angle with the intake end.
