A handheld filter press includes a pump, a water chamber, and a portafilter basket. The pump includes a pump housing that defines a pump chamber configured to pressurize air, and defines a pump outlet for exhausting pressurized air. The pump includes an outlet valve fluidly connected with the pump outlet. The outlet valve allows air to exit the pump chamber and prevents air from entering the pump chamber through the pump outlet. The water chamber is fluidly connected with the pump chamber through the outlet valve for receiving pressurized air from the pump chamber. The water chamber defines a water chamber outlet for exhausting pressurized air and water from the water chamber. The portafilter basket is fluidly connected with the water chamber for receiving pressurized water from the water chamber through the water chamber outlet. The portafilter basket is configured to store grounds, and to express a brewed beverage.

A method and system for vacuum extraction of brewed beverages is described. The process includes the steps of preparing a liquid water or solvent to a desired temperature, combining the liquid water or solvent with a first brewing material in a brewing vessel, removing air from the brewing vessel until a first desired pressure set point is reached, steeping the mixture of the liquid water or solvent and the first brewing material in the brewing vessel for a desired low-pressure steeping time, adding a filler gas to the brewing vessel until a second desired pressure set point is reached, steeping the mixture of the liquid water or solvent and the first brewing material in the brewing vessel for a desired steeping time at atmospheric or high-pressure and directing the liquid water or solvent and the first brewing material through a filtration system to yield a filtered brewed beverage. A system capable of performing these steps is also described.

One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a beverage brewing system, including: a brewing chamber configured to hold a brewing fluid; a brew material filter within the brewing chamber; a vacuum source and a vent valve each coupled to the brewing chamber, the vacuum source and the vent valve being configured to be actuated consecutively; and a drain valve coupled to the brewing chamber.

A beverage brewing pot includes a first pot liner, a second pot liner, a water-air pump and a controller. A brewing chamber is arranged between the first pot liner and the second pot liner. The first pot liner, the second pot liner and the brewing chamber are in communication. At least the first pot liner is sealed during operation. A first water-level sensor is provided at the top of the first pot liner, and a second water-level sensor is provided at the top of the second pot liner. The controller controls the water-air pump to feed air to the first pot liner to direct the water to flow into the second pot liner. The controller controls the water-air pump to operate reversely, such that the water in the second pot liner is pumped back to the first pot liner.

A brewer system includes a reservoir, a steep chamber movable relative to the reservoir and positioned over a mouth of the reservoir, and a filter tape positioned between the chamber and the reservoir. Brewing substance and water are added to the chamber to form a brewed beverage that passes through the filter tape and into the reservoir through the mouth.

A coffee maker and a coffee preparation method thereof are disclosed, the coffee maker includes: a stator frame; a grinding chamber including a cavity is mounted on the stator frame, and a cover; the cavity is covered by the cover to enclose a grinding cavity, a bottom of the grinding cavity having a beverage outlet communicated with the beverage cavity; a grinding device including a grinding knife tackle disposed in the grinding cavity, and a motor disposed outside the grinding cavity to drive the grinding knife tackle to rotate; a coffee strainer, circularly arranged on a peripheral of the grinding knife tackle; a lower end of the coffee strainer abuts a bottom wall of the grinding cavity to separate the grinding cavity into a grinding bean cavity and a beverage cavity disposed on the periphery of the grinding bean cavity.

An apparatus for providing an infused or brewed beverage comprises a brewing arrangement which is configured to brew a beverage according to a selected one of a plurality of brewing processes, at least one being a hot brewing processes and at least one being a cold brewing process. The apparatus includes a controller configured to receive a user selection indicative of a required beverage, and to control the brewing arrangement in dependence upon the user selection. The apparatus may for example be used to provide either hot brew or cold brew coffee as required, without the need for multiple machines.
