A device for producing fluid foam includes a container where the fluid can be accommodated, and includes a foaming tool rotatable in the inner volume of the container. The texture and the porosity of the fluid foam obtained are provided by shear energy coming from Couette Flow effect and depend on the dimension of the foaming tool with respect to the inner volume of the container, on the location of the foaming tool from the bottom of the container and on the rotation speed of the foaming tool.

A member with a first body having a through hole along a longitudinal axis thereof along which a beverage is fed from a percolation chamber. A first cup-shaped body is axially aligned under the first body, and a ball, which stops the flow of the beverage under the bias of a spring, is between the hole and the inside of the first cup-shaped body until the beverage reaches a given pressure. A second cup-shaped body houses the lower part of the first body and the first cup-shaped body and internally defines a chamber. A first through window is defined in the first cup-shaped body under the stopping zone of the flow in the hole; and a second through window is defined in the second cup-shaped body, through which contact between the beverage and air is made and is suited to feed the beverage from the chamber outwards.

The coffee maker for brewing powder coffee contained in a cartridge comprises a brewing chamber adapted to receive the cartridge, at least one punching member for punching the cartridge and a pump for feeding brewing water into the brewing chamber. In order to avoid that the prepared coffee shows froth at its surface, the coffee maker comprises means for restricting the amount of water fed by the pump into the brewing chamber per unit of time. This means ensures that the brewing water flows through the cartridge essentially unpressurized.

The present application relates to improvements in machines for the preparation of beverage and food products, and in particular to such a machine which utilizes a compressed tablet of food or beverage product, which is inserted into the brew chamber of the machine, into which a liquid is directed to break up or dissolve the tablet. The machine for preparing a beverage or food product from a compressed disc of at least one ingredient includes a sealable brew chamber, and said brew chamber includes means for mounting the disc so that it is able to spin freely around a central axis. The brew chamber further includes an at least one nozzle having an outlet in the brew chamber located to direct a jet of liquid at a peripheral edge of the disc mounted in the brew chamber.

The present invention concerns a beverage dispensing system for providing a multi-layered beverage is disclosed. The beverage dispensing system is adapted to prepare a plurality of beverages of different densities within a plurality of ingredients container. The beverage dispensing system separately and sequentially dispenses a lower density beverage prior to dispensing a higher density beverage. The beverages are dispensed via a delivery tube which is disposed proximally to an internal base of a drinks receptacle. Furthermore an ingredients container is disclosed. Furthermore a method for the manufacture of the multi-layered beverage is disclosed.

The invention relates to a system and a method for making a hot beverage such as coffee. The system according to the invention includes a raw material container in which raw material for the hot beverage is arrangeable. The raw material container is provided with a liquid inlet, and an outlet with a substantially horizontal flow through the raw material. A nozzle assembly is connected operatively to the outlet and provided with an inlet, an air inlet and a nozzle. An outflow is connected operatively to the nozzle for delivery of the hot beverage.

A machine (1) for preparing beverages comprising a machine casing (2) and discharge (7) including a discharge casing (71) with an opening (72) confined by a side wall (73) and a base wall (74) that includes at least one discharge passageway (75) disposed on a side opposite to the opening (72). The discharge casing (71) comprises retention elements (76) arranged in substantially mutually opposite positions on the perimeter region of the casing opening (72), whereby the retention elements (76) provide a removable retention along a vertical longitudinal plane of said discharge casing (71) on the machine casing (2). Thus, the opening (72) is confined above by a downwards oriented portion of said machine casing (2) when retained thereon by said retention elements (76). The retention elements (76) are adapted to provide retention on the machine casing (2) and release therefrom by manual actuation thereof without requiring the use of tools.

The coffee dispenser disclosed herein may serve a single serving of coffee. The coffee dispenser may including a coffee concentrate fluid line which intersects with a water fluid line at a junction to allow mixing of coffee concentrate with water as the respective fluids flow through the coffee dispenser.

A frothing attachment (1) for a steam wand, the frothing attachment (1) comprising a blade (4) comprising a steam wand connector (2) and further comprising a turbulence generator (6) wherein said turbulence generator protrudes from an outer surface (8) of said blade or comprises a curved part (504) of said blade and is configured to generate turbulence in steam flow exiting a steam wand, in use.

A multi spout pitcher, each spout having differing physical characteristics allows a user/barista to control the flow stream and energy transfer in mixing liquids to create a mixed beverage and produce a visual design on the beverage surface.
