A blender assembly includes a base, a heater assembly selectively coupled to the base and having a heating element and a biasing feature that biases the heating element away from the base, and a jar assembly selectively coupled to the heater assembly and having a jar and a heat transfer element coupled to the jar. Coupling the jar assembly to the heater assembly prompts the heat transfer element to contact the heating element, such that the heating element moves toward the base against the bias of the biasing feature.

A cold brew coffee maker has a water cleaning system connected to a water source; a water pump connected to the water cleaning system, and connected to the pressurized-water storage tank for storing a filtered water in the tank; and a coffee brewing module connected to the pressurized-water storage tank and including: a detachable brewing cup detachably secured to a fixing bracket, a solenoid valve formed between the brewing cup and the pressurized-water storage tank, and a switch panel formed in the main body; whereby upon starting of the pump to suck and filter a feed water, a filtered pressurized water less than 30 degrees centigrade will be delivered into the tank and upon actuation of the switch panel to open the solenoid valve, the pressurized water will be ejected into the cup for brewing coffee.

A blender system is provided that includes a first jar, and second jar, and a blender base. The blender system is operable in a first mode wherein the first jar is coupled to the blender base and the objects within the first jar are blended or processed. The blender system is also operable in a second mode wherein the first jar and the second jar are coupled to the blender base. In this configuration, the objects to be processed are contained within the second jar. Advantageously, in the second mode, the first jar acts as a sound shield by which the sound generated by the blending process is dampened, resulting in a quieter experience for the user.

A portable food processing apparatus describes a food processing chamber including a blade arrangement and a housing including a motor for driving said blade arrangement, a microcontroller for controlling said motor and at least one motion sensor communicatively coupled to said microcontroller. The microcontroller is adapted to evaluate sensor data produced by the at least one motion sensor in order to detect a predefined motion pattern in said sensor data, said predefined motion pattern corresponding to an operation setting of the motor; and control said motor in accordance with said operation setting upon detection of the predefined motion pattern.

An automated station is provided with a tool comprising a linear actuator having a power supply inlet adapted to be releasably connected to a feed line; a container for edible liquids; a closure movable by means of the linear actuator between a closed position in which the edible liquid is in the container so that the liquid is shaken by the action of the automated station and an open position in which the edible liquid is poured out of the container in a controlled manner through the action of the automated station; and a lever arm pivoted and connected between the linear actuator and the closure so as to reduce the load applied by the actuator to decrease a first resultant force applied by the closure on a fluid seal in the closed position with respect to a second force applied by the actuator to the pivoted lever arm.
