CONTROL METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE CURRENT DISPENSING CYCLE OF A COFFEE MACHINE
The control method for controlling the current dispensing cycle of a coffee machine comprising an electronic controller, a brewing pump and a brewing unit having a housing chamber of an amount of coffee powder, in which the current dispensing cycle comprises a dispensing step and a possible preliminary step of wetting the amount of coffee powder in which there is no dispensing, provides that the electronic controller controls the dispensing speed of the entire dispensing step of the current dispensing cycle by dividing the brewing pump by a control algorithm that acquires a parameter calculated from stored dispensing data of dispensing steps of dispensing cycles preceding the current dispensing cycle exclusively.
Method and Appliance for Producing Beverages, Preferably Foamed Milk or Milk Beverages
Method for producing beverages, preferably foamed milk or milk beverages, in which milk is sucked up out of a container by a pump through at least one line and is conveyed through the latter to an outlet. Preferably, multiple different flavor liquids can be supplied as desired from a respective vessel at least individually into the line for conveying the milk. In this manner, the flavor liquid is mixed in already during production of the milk beverage, with the result that a high degree of mixing and thus the desired flavor is optimally achieved.
BEVERAGE DISPENSING ASSEMBLY FOR AN APPLIANCE
A beverage dispensing assembly may include a dispenser body, one or more flanges, a brew module, and a water delivery system. The dispenser body may define a dispenser recess. The flanges may extend from and below an upper wall. The brew module may be selectively installed within the dispenser recess and define a brew chamber therein. The brew module may include one or more rails movably received on the one or more flanges to support the brew module within the dispenser recess. The water delivery system may be mounted to the dispenser body in selective engagement with the brew module. The water delivery system may include a delivery nozzle and a biasing spring. The delivery nozzle may be slidably attached to the upper wall and axially slidable between a lowered position and an elevated position. The biasing spring may motivate the delivery nozzle toward the lowered position.

COFFEE MAKER COVER AND CAPSULE COFFEE MAKER
The application discloses a coffee maker cover and a capsule coffee maker. The coffee maker cover includes an upper cover structure, a lower cover structure and a needle assembly, where the lower cover structure is installed on the upper cover structure in a manner of being capable of moving relative to the upper cover structure, the lower cover structure has at least a first position away from the upper cover structure and a second position close to the upper cover structure, and the needle assembly is installed on the upper cover structure; when the lower cover structure is at the first position, the needle assembly is hidden in the lower cover structure; and when the lower cover structure is at the second position, the needle assembly extends from the lower cover structure to expose a needle outlet and the needle assembly is in hermetic communication with a water inlet channel. The capsule coffee maker can protect a user from stab caused by the user's misoperation and touch with the needle assembly, thereby improving use safety of the coffee maker. In addition, when the needle assembly is hidden in the lower cover structure, the overall shape of the coffee maker is more beautiful.
