Consumption of safe beverages improves health, physical performance, and prevents disease. A system includes a device that monitors a beverage within a vessel to determine if the beverage is safe to drink. The device may include a pH sensor to determine a pH value of the beverage. This pH value is compared to a pH range that is deemed safe. A comparison between the pH value and the pH range may be made, and the results presented to a user. The system may include a mixing device to automatically mix the beverage, or the system may prompt a user to manually mix the beverage. Data from other sensors may also be used to assess the beverage. The device may be implemented in various form factors such as a cup, lid, straw, stirrer, and so forth. The device may communicate with other devices, such as a phone, tablet, or server.

A beverage brewing apparatus includes at least one material storing unit, at least one brewing unit, at least one brewing cup and a matching system. The material storing unit is suitable for storing materials. The matching system is suitable for matching the brewing cup and the material storing unit, so that the brewing cup is suitable for receiving materials from the material storing unit. The matching system is suitable for matching the brewing cup and the brewing unit, so that the brewing unit is suitable for brewing materials in the brewing cup.

Systems for controlled heating and/or agitation for liquid food or beverage product creation are disclosed. A dispenser for producing a food or beverage liquid product from a frozen contents in a receptacle includes a chamber configured to hold a receptacle containing the contents and a dilution liquid inlet configured to supply a dilution liquid to the interior of the receptacle. The dispenser also includes a perforator configured to perforate the receptacle and form a product outlet from the receptacle for the liquid product and an agitator configured to impart motion to the receptacle and/or the contents in the receptacle that increases a flow path from the liquid inlet to the product outlet taken by at least a portion of dilution liquid, when supplied, relative to a flow path from the liquid inlet to the product outlet taken by the portion of dilution liquid without the imparted motion.

A blender comprises a stirring cup and a light-emitting assembly which includes a battery, a lamp panel, and two spaced conductive parts, wherein each conductive part has one end electrically connected to the lamp panel and the other end stretching into the stirring cup, and the battery is electrically connected to the lamp panel. Liquids such as water, fruit juices, and liquor make contact with the two conductive parts after being added to the stirring cup, a conduction circuit is formed by the two conductive parts and the lamp panel through the liquids in the stirring cup, and then, the lamp panel lights up. The blender of the invention can automatically light up when used by users, thus having good user experience and increasing the pleasure in use.

A blender for processing comestible matter includes a base with a motor, a blade assembly, and a container. The blender further comprises a first safety mechanism and a second safety mechanism. The first safety mechanism functions to ensure that the container is securely attached to the blade assembly before the blade assembly can be mounted to the base. The second safety mechanism functions to ensure the motor in the base can only be powered on when the container and the blade assembly are securely mounted to the base. The blender is operable by affixing the container to the blade assembly, and then the assembly to the base, such that both safety mechanisms are released to permit the motor to be activated.
