A beverage brewer includes a pump, a container, an intake channel, an outflow channel, and a brewing material holder. The pump has inlet and outlet ports to provide negative fluid pressure at the inlet port and positive fluid pressure at the outlet port. The intake channel provides fluid communication between an interior of the container and the inlet port. The outflow channel provides fluid communication between the outlet port and the interior of the container. The brewing material holder is configured to hold ground brewing material and is arranged at an issue end of the outflow channel. The pump is configured to draw liquid from the interior of the container through the intake channel and to issue the liquid to the brewing material holder through the outflow channel, thereby brewing a beverage. The brewing material holder is configured to issue the brewed beverage into the interior of the container.

A reservoir of a liquid heating appliance includes a first chamber and a second chamber, separated by a partition. A heating arrangement is arranged to heat liquid in the first chamber. A first valve, a second valve and a float valve are disposed in the partition to selectively allow liquid to flow between the first and second chambers. Respective lines joining the first and second valves to a center of the partition have an obtuse angular separation. The first and second valves are selectively closed by a valve closure member. The float valve includes a floating valve member arranged to float and mate with a valve seat to prevent the flow of liquid. A liquid outlet in the first chamber connects with a dispense outlet on the appliance to allow liquid to be dispensed when the first and second valves are closed.

An appliance (10) to heat a liquid, the appliance (10) including: a vessel (12) to receive the liquid to be heated, the vessel (12) having a generally central upright longitudinal axis (24), a bottom wall (26), and a side wall (28) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (26), with the bottom wall (26) and side wall (28) at least partly enclosing a chamber (40) within which the liquid is heated, with the chamber (40) having an upper region (42) axially spaced from the bottom wall (26), and a lower region (44) located between the bottom wall (26) and the upper region (42); a heating element (50) located within the chamber (40) for relative movement therewithin, with the element (50) at least partly formed of ferromagnetic material; a heater base (14) to be positioned relative to the bottom wall (26) of the vessel (12), the heater base (14) including at least a portion of an induction coil (18); connections to deliver an alternating current to the induction coil (18) so as to deliver a magnetic field to the lower region (44); and wherein the element (50) is movable relative to the coil (18) between an operative position at which the element (50) is located within the lower region (44) so as to be energised by the magnetic field to cause heating of the element (50) so that heat generated by the element (50) can be delivered to the liquid via conduction, and an inoperative position at which the element (50) is located in the upper region (42) so as to no longer place an operative load on the induction coil (18).

A liquid heating appliance including a reservoir including a first and second chambers and a heating arrangement is provided. A mode valve is arranged to selectively allow liquid to flow between the first and second chambers. The appliance operates in a first mode in which the mode valve is closed and only liquid in the first chamber is heated and a second mode in which the mode valve is open and liquid in the first and second chambers is heated. A dispense outlet is moveable between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispense outlet is mechanically coupled to the mode valve such that when the dispense outlet is moved into the dispense position, the mechanical coupling closes the mode valve and when the dispense outlet is moved into the non-dispensing position, the mechanical coupling opens the valve.

A power station includes: a plate, a coil below the plate, an inverter configured to supply alternating current power to the coil, a communication module including an antenna and configured to transmit and receive radio signals through the antenna, a display, and a controller configured to control the communication module to communicate with an external device placed on the plate and control the inverter to wirelessly transmit power to the external device through the coil. The controller may control the display to display information indicating whether the external device is aligned with the coil based on a radio signal received from the external device through the antenna.

An electric pot may have an improved relay installation position. The electric pot may include a supporter and a pot main body provided with a heater driven to provide heat through an electric connection with connection terminals. The supporter may include a relay part that optionally switches between a connection of the power supply to a third connection terminal and a disconnection of the power supply to the third connection terminal.

An electric kettle having a handle coupled to one end of a body is proposed. The electric kettle includes: a body receiving water or food therein; a lid configured to shield an open upper side of the body; a base provided at a lower side of the body and configured to support the body; a spout provided on an upper end of the body and guiding a discharge of the water or food contained inside the body; and a handle fastened to the upper end of the body and configured to be held by hand. According to the configuration of the electric kettle, there are advantages of providing a compact and aesthetic appearance and improving assemblability.

An electric kettle has a kettle body and a power supply unit that is configured to supply power to the kettle body. The power supply unit has a plate part, a power supply base and a mounting unit. The plate part has a first surface and a second surface. The power supply base is arranged on a side of the first surface of the plate part and configured such that the kettle body is placed on top thereof. The power supply base has a power supply connection part that is electrically removably connected to the power receiving connection part. The mounting unit is arranged on a side of the second surface of the plate part and configured such that a battery pack is removably coupled thereto as the external power source for supplying power to the heating part via the power supply connection part and the power receiving connection part.

A domestic liquid heating apparatus includes a liquid heating chamber and an electrical heating arrangement arranged to heat, in use, a liquid contained in the liquid heating chamber. The apparatus further includes a handle, for lifting the apparatus, and a user interface, arranged on the handle. The user interface comprises a rotatable dial, operable to select at least one operational parameter of the apparatus, and a display, arranged to display the selected operational parameter.
