A coffee maker includes a water tank, a heater, a brew basket, a fluid path between the water tank and the brew basket, a boiler, and a controller in electrical communication with the heater and the boiler. The heater is ON when the volume of water to be brewed into coffee is greater than a first predetermined threshold. The heater heats the water in the water tank to a first water temperature when the volume of water to be brewed into coffee is greater than the first predetermined threshold and less than a second predetermined threshold, which is greater than the first predetermined threshold. The heater heats the water in the water tank to a second water temperature, which is higher than the first water temperature, when the volume of water to be brewed into coffee is greater than the second predetermined threshold.

A machine for preparing beverages includes at least one tank for the water, fluidly connected, by means of a circuit, to a filtering container suitable to contain an aromatic mixture to be brewed, a pump to feed the water from said tank to said circuit, a heating device to heat the water in transit, and a control and command unit functionally connected to a user interface comprising commands suitable to select the characteristics of said beverage to be prepared.

A brewing device includes a base portion with a support surface. A carafe is configured to be selectively supported on the support surface. A filter basket is removeably supported on an upper portion of the carafe. An immersion chamber is fluidically coupled to an outlet disposed over the filter basket. A water reservoir is fluidically coupled to both the immersion chamber and the outlet disposed over the filter basket. A pump is in fluid communication with the water reservoir and operable to selectively advance water to one of the outlet disposed over the filter basket and the immersion chamber from the water reservoir. The brewing device is configured to brew a beverage using a pour-over brewing method, an immersion brewing method, or a filtered immersion brewing method.

Coffee machine (1) for preparation of a hot beverage with a heating system for dynamic thermal management, comprising a housing frame (2), in which are accommodated a water module (100) for providing brewing water, which comprises a first heating device (120), having a boiler (121) with a fresh water inlet (12) and with a first heating element (123) for providing water heated to a first temperature T.sub.1 and a brewing module (200), whereby the brewing module (200) comprises a brewing device (220) for brewing a predefined amount of coffee with brewing water and a dispensing unit (230) for dispensing brewed coffee, as well as, disposed in a brewing water feed line (260), a second heating device (250), to heat the water heated to the first temperature T.sub.1 to a second temperature T.sub.2. The coffee machine provides for the second heating device (250) accommodated in the brewing module (200) being a thick film heater (252) designed as continuous flow heater.

A heating apparatus and method of heating. The embodiments of the invention relate to coffee machine heating apparatuses for providing heated brew water for passing through coffee grounds. The apparatus and method involves using low pressure steam (i.e. less than 1 bar absolute) at a saturation temperature that is substantially equal to the desired brew water temperature. Advantageously, improved temperature control of the brew water is achieved in a manner which is more convenient to an end user. The operating temperatures are more stable (the need for a cooling flush is removed) and the operating temperatures is reached in a quicker manner than with conventional machines.

In order to reduce limescale formation on the continuous flow heater during operation of an apparatus for preparing freshly brewed hot beverages which has a hot water generator, which is embodied as a continuous flow heater, and a brewing apparatus, to which hot water from the hot water generator can be supplied, a controller for actuating the continuous flow heater is provided, which controller switches on the continuous flow heater for the purpose of drawing a pre-specified quantity of hot water and switches off said continuous flow heater shortly before the quantity of hot water is completely output, so that the temperature of the hot water at the output of the continuous flow heater is declining at the end of the drawing operation.
