A milk-frothing apparatus for preparing high quality micro-foamed milk for coffee drinks consistently and at high volume. A machine having one or more steaming stations includes an elevator at each station with an elevator-mounted steaming wand have a precise angle at the discharge end. The elevator-mounted steaming wand is configured to travel from an upward stowed status to a downward deployed status to insert the discharge end of the elevator-mounted steaming wand into milk inside a pitcher precisely located on the machine. A steam boiler is hydraulically coupled to the elevator-mounted steam wand via flexible tubing and an infrared sensor monitors the temperature of the pitcher during a downward deployed status. An LCD screen with operator controls and displays oriented to coincide spatially with the elevator indicate different operational settings selected by the user and related to machine operation.

A system and method for using a supplement beverage dispensing machine is provided. The system includes a supplement beverage dispensing machine having a housing with an external touch display screen and controls, a vending outlet having a lower tray adapted to support a beverage container, and a plurality of solid material reservoirs disposed within an interior volume of the housing configured to store one or more protein powders, one or more dried greens powders, one or more pre-workout powders and post-workout powders, or other types of supplement powders and at least one liquid material reservoir that includes water or other mixing liquids therein. The overall system includes a method of use and a non-transitory computer storage media to prepare a beverage in a selected container size with a selected combination of supplement types and quantities with the overall system.

An apparatus is provided for making beverages by immersing an infusible material, such as loose tea-leaves, in a liquid, such as hot water. The apparatus comprises two rigid-frame containers, a liquid-impermeable open-top beverage container, which can be an existing container selected by the user, and a movable liquid-permeable infuser container. According to embodiments of the invention, the infuser container may assume two different stationary positions relative to the beverage container, a lower stationary position and a higher stationary position. In the lower stationary position, the infusible material is covered by liquid and may be infused for a desired length of time. Thereafter the infuser container may be temporarily placed in the higher stationary position, in which position the infusible material is located above the liquid, to reduce or stop the dripping of the infusible material.

A beverage preparation machine (1) has: a water circuit (12,13) for guiding water (2,2′,2″) from a source (11); and a mixing unit (20) fluidically connected to the water circuit (12,13) and to a beverage outlet (23) for dispensing to a consumer cup or mug (5) a beverage (3) formed in the mixing unit (20). The mixing unit (20) has a first module (21) and a second module (22) that are relatively movable from: a distant configuration for inserting an ingredient between the first and second modules (21,22); to a proximate position for combining such ingredient with water (2′) supplied by the water circuit (12,13) so as to form the beverage (3). The machine has: a further unit (30) fluidically connected to the water circuit (12,13) and to an outlet (33) for dispensing to a consumer cup or mug water (2″) supplied by the water circuit (12,13); and a water directing device (14) fluidically connected to the water circuit (12,13), to the mixing unit (20) and to the further unit (30). The directing device (14) has one or more valves (141,142;143,144) that is/are actuated by the relatively moving first and/or second modules (21,22) and that can be opened and closed for controlling a flow of water (2,2′,2″) from the water circuit (12,13) selectively to the mixing unit (20) or to the further unit (30).

A water ejecting apparatus includes a case and a water ejection unit coupled to one side of the case. The water ejection unit includes a first lifting cover connected to the case and allowing a lifting gear to be fixed thereto, a second lifting cover movably accommodated inside the first lifting cover, a lifting motor coupled to the second lifting cover and configured to interwork with the lifting motor, and a water ejection nozzle installed at a lower end of the second lifting cover and configured to allow water to be ejected therethrough. The lifting gear has gear teeth is provided on one side thereof in an up-down direction and at least one reinforcing hole or reinforcing recess provided on the other side thereof.

Provided is an apparatus for use with a coffee maker, the apparatus. The apparatus may include a cup shelf and a track disposed vertically, the track comprising a rail, the rail having a top rail portion and a bottom rail portion. The apparatus may include a switch having a hinge pin and a hook pin, where the switch is configured to be pressed by a user, where the cup shelf is vertically movable, and where the hook pin is configured to interface with the top rail portion.

A hydrogen water generator includes a water tank for receiving and storing water, an electrode module coupled to the water tank for generating hydrogen water, a movable water discharger, a transfer tube for transferring the hydrogen water from the water tank to the movable water discharger, a sensor, and a controller. The controller moves the movable water discharger from an original position to a height with respect to a water container based on a sensing by the sensor.
