A cold brew coffee brewing system to prepare cold brew coffee by extraction of coffee grounds with brew water in a single-past, non-immersion extraction operation uses a tower unit with first and second receiving locations to receive a pre-infusion container for preparation of a pre-infusion mixture of coffee grounds during a pre-infusion operation and to receive an extraction vessel containing the transferred pre-infusion mixture for extraction processing to prepare cold brew coffee product, which is collected in a collection container received in the second receiving location of the tower unit. A brew control system controls operation of the water dispensing system during a cold brewing process cycle, and including a controller unit having stored therein multiple profiles for different cold-brew coffee product that may be prepared at the direction of the controller unit. A network may include multiple such cold brew coffee brewing systems connected with a central server.

A coffee dispenser system including a coffee brewer unit, a container and a coffee supply channel between the coffee brewer unit and the container to provide a fluid connection between the coffee brewer unit and the container for receiving and holding coffee from the coffee brewer unit, and an outlet channel for coffee which is connected to the container. The coffee supply channel and the outlet channel for coffee both connect to the container at a bottom side of the container. The coffee supply channel that connects to the container extends upwardly inside the container up to a highest level. At the highest level, an air relief chamber is provided to release air from the coffee transported through the coffee supply channel, and from the air relief chamber, a coffee mix channel extends downwardly to above and near to the bottom of the container.

The present invention relates to a capsule beverage extraction device for extracting a beverage using a capsule including powder, the device being characterized by including: a pump for supplying room temperature water; a boiler configured to heat the room temperature water supplied from the pump and convert the room temperature water into hot water; a first extracting part for supplying hot water to a capsule and extract the beverage; a second extracting part provided beside the first extracting part and configured to supply hot water to the capsule and extract the beverage; a first flow passage for supplying hot water to the first extracting part from the boiler; a first valve for selectively opening/closing the first flow passage; a second flow passage for supplying from the boiler to the second extracting part; and a second valve for selectively opening/closing the second flow passage.

A coffee machine is described. The coffee machine has a removable coffee vessel for fitting to a docking area. A closing piston is driven laterally relative to the coffee vessel into a side opening of the coffee vessel. The closing piston has a water delivery channel leading to its end face.
