A mobile liquid tank is disclosed that includes an insulated tank body and two heating elements. Also disclosed is a liquid heating system comprising the mobile liquid tank, as well as methods of heating a liquid using the mobile liquid tank.

A beverage brewer includes a container, a container collar, a brewing material holder, a mesh element, and a drive assembly. The container has an open top, a closed sidewall, and a closed bottom. The container collar is configured to cover a rim of the open top. The brewing material holder is configured to hold brewing material and to be suspended from the container collar and into an interior of the container. The brewing material holder includes a sidewall having an opening, an open top, and a bottom. The mesh element covers the opening in the sidewall of the brewing material holder. The drive assembly is positionable on the container collar and is configured to be mechanically coupled to and rotate the brewing material holder.

The utility model relates to the technical field of coffee machines, and discloses a manual coffee machine, comprising a liner, a coffee cup, a piston assembly and a driving rod. The driving rod is connected with the piston assembly and drives the piston assembly to rise and fall in the liner; the piston assembly separates an inner cavity of the liner into an upper cavity body and a lower cavity body; the piston assembly comprises a piston, a bracket and a valve core; the piston is provided with a water hole; and the valve core is limited and installed between the bracket and the water hole through the bracket. When the piston assembly rises and falls, the valve core unblocks or blocks the water hole. A pressure relief channel is arranged in the valve core; a port which communicates the pressure relief channel and the lower cavity body is a pressure relief port; a spring and a sealing body are installed in the pressure relief channel; and the spring is pressed against the sealing body on the pressure relief port. On the one hand, the valve core acts as a water valve switch; and on the other hand, the valve core can achieve the effect of decompression and protection. After water pressure exceeds a certain value, the pressure relief channel of the valve core is turned on to avoid an explosion accident caused by excessive water pressure in the lower cavity body; and the safety of the coffee machine is higher.

A liquid dispensing apparatus includes a container including a downwardly extending wall portion that defines a bottom opening through which a liquid in the container is dispensed; a valve; and an actuator connected to the valve for controlling dispensing of the fluid from the container. The actuator is movable along an axis between a dispensing position, in which liquid from the container is dispensed, the valve being open when the actuator is in the dispensing position; and a non-dispensing position, in which liquid from the container is not dispensed, the valve being closed when the actuator is in the non-dispensing position, and the actuator in the non-dispensing position being located further from the container than when in the dispensing position. A spring biases the actuator in a direction away from the container. The liquid may be dispensed into a bottle containing a hard seltzer for flavoring of the seltzer.

A beverage dispensing assembly may include a brewing body and a lid, as well as a contact pin or dispersion head. The brewing body may define a brew chamber to receive a brew pod. The brewing body may extend along the rotation axis between an upper end and a lower end. The brewing body may define an outlet at the lower end. The lid may be rotatably attached to the brewing body at the upper end to rotate about the rotation axis between a first position and a second position. The first position may secure the lid to the brewing body and restrict access to the brew chamber. The second position may release the lid from the brewing body.

A flare is configured to be coupled to a body of an appliance to increase an anti-tipping stability of the appliance. An appliance can include a body having a bottom portion configured to rest on a surface, and the flare, configured to be coupled to the body, such as coupled to the bottom portion of the body. An appliance includes a body having a bottom portion configured to rest on a surface, and a flare coupled to the body and configured to provide an anti-tipping stability to the appliance. A stop mechanism is configured to be coupled to a body and/or a lid of an appliance, and to limit an amount that the lid can be opened. An appliance can include a body, a lid, and the stop mechanism.

A fully automatic coffee machine (1) including a detachable water tank (5) that is retained by a magnetic holding force on a base device (2) of the fully automatic coffee machine (1).

Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.

A beverage brewer includes a container configured to hold liquid and having an open top, and a brewing material holder configured to be suspended into the container and to hold beverage brewing material in contact with liquid held in the container. The brewer also includes a pressure assembly operable to provide pressurized liquid flow through the brewing material holder within the container, and/or a heating element configured to be arranged at least partially in an interior of the container and operable to heat liquid held in the container.

An automated one touch cooker device that automatically cooks food items in a pot and the same pot can be used as a serving container. The automated one touch cooker comprises of a cooking vessel, a water reservoir and a body frame wherein the cooking vessel is used for cooking a food item, the water reservoir holds fresh water for cooking, and the body frame houses the water reservoir and the cooking vessel. The body frame further holds a water pump, a water heater, and other elements required to run the cooker device.
