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.

The portable coffee brewer is configured for use in brewing coffee. The portable coffee brewer comprises a containment pan, a brewing pan, a lid structure, and a control circuit. The lid structure and the containment pan attach to the brewing pan. The control circuit mounts in the brewing pan. The control circuit controls the operation of the portable coffee brewer. The lid structure encloses the brewing pan. The containment pan contains accessories associated with the brewing and consumption of beverages. The beverage pan forms the space within which the beverage is brewed. The control circuit heats and circulates a fluid stored within the beverage pan for the purpose of preparing the beverage for consumption.

An automatic hot beverage preparation machine comprising a hydraulic water supply circuit having a first branch to connect a water source and a water boiler, a second branch to connect the water boiler and a hot beverage dispensing assembly, a third branch to connect the first branch and the second branch, and a valve device to selectively control supply of water in the third branch as a function of a signal from a water temperature sensor arranged to measure water temperature at an outlet of the water boiler.
