An adjustable coffee grounds tamper includes a top handle, a base threadingly connected to the top handle, and a middle ring disposed between the handle and the base and also threadingly connected to the base.

An integrated device including a vessel, a gas reservoir, a pressure regulation device, a primary filter, and a tap assembly. The vessel is configured to contain a beverage. The gas reservoir is configured to supply pressurized gas within the vessel. The pressure regulation device is configured to maintain an infusing pressure within the vessel and also a dispensing pressure within the vessel. The primary filter is configured to hold solid brewing media, to fit inside the vessel, and to be removable from the vessel. The tap assembly is configured to dispense the beverage from the vessel. Methods are also disclosed.

A coffee dose adjustment tool has interchangeable or adjustable blades for adjustment of the coffee fill height within a portafilter dosing tool.

The device for preparing a dose of ground coffee powder ready for infusion comprises a cup provided with a gripping handle and housing a filter containing said dose of ground coffee powder, a coupling support in which the cup is coupled separably, and a pressing piston that is engageable in the filter for pressing the dose of ground coffee powder, the pressing piston having anti-detachment means configured to prevent the detachment of the pressed dose of ground coffee powder from the walls of the filter when the pressing piston disengages the filter.

A filter basket for a beverage machine includes a sidewall and a strainer portion. The filter basket forms a brew chamber into which ground coffee or other products are added. The brew chamber is defined by a sidewall, a strainer surface, and a smooth contour between the tapered sidewall and the strainer surface. The brew chamber is defined by smooth lines to create better fluid flow through the extraction process. A plurality of apertures are formed in the strainer surface to filter out large particles while allowing brewed beverage to flow therethrough. The tapered sidewalls in combination with the strainer surface, the smooth contour, and the unique pozzetto shape, result in a pressure profile and fluid flow characteristics that reduce the tendency of channeling through the ground coffee and result in a more consistent and uniform extraction.

A tool for adjusting the amount of powdered material contained in a vessel, comprising a storage reservoir of an excess of powdered material contained in the vessel, a lower wall configured to be positioned inside the vessel, a side wall configured to rotatably support the tool resting on a peripheral edge of the vessel and to position the lower wall at a fixed or adjustable predetermined height inside the vessel, where the lower wall has at least a first blade configured to pick up the excess of powdered material and at least one transfer passage for transferring at least most of the excess of powdered material picked up from the first blade towards the storage reservoir.

The present invention relates to a portafilter capable of sensing data in a coffee extraction process and a method for controlling a coffee extraction process using the same, the portafilter comprising: a portafilter head capable of accommodating a basket; at least one sensor formed on the portafilter head; a communication unit; and a control unit, wherein the control unit may be configured to transmit sensing data sensed through the one or more sensors to an external electronic device through the communication unit.

An apparatus for infusing a liquid that may be espresso, generally provides a body having a gear box at one end portion of the body, a lead screw and a hand crank mechanically communicating with the gearbox, and a valve body and plunger carried at an end portion of the lead screw opposite the gearbox for axial, and non-rotational, movement within a medial chamber defined by an insulated pressure cylinder, the pressure cylinder releasably engaged with a removable a portafilter frame, opposite the gearbox, that carries a removable particulate basket therein, and a carafe releasably engaged with the porta filter frame opposite the pressure cylinder, and a tamper for compressing particulate in the particulate basket.

It is disclosed a coffee grinder machine comprising: a machine body with a motor and grinding members for grinding coffee beans; and a device for detecting the presence of a filter and/or a filter holder in a set position suitable for receiving ground coffee, wherein the detecting device comprises a normally-open switch comprising a first half-support for the filter and/or the filter holder and a second half-support for the filter and/or filter holder, and wherein the switch is configured to close when the filter and/or filter holder is in electrical contact with said first half-support and with said second half-support.

Disclosed herein is a machine for preparing and dispensing espresso coffee comprising a system to regulate the electrolytic composition of the water to be used for the preparation of espresso coffee, the system comprising a water demineralization device, and a device for the addition of at least one organic and/or inorganic salt to the demineralized water.
