An improved removable lid for use in steeping tea. The lid defining a receptacle between a lid floor and a lid wall. The lid floor having a plurality of filter openings configured for liquid drainage from the receptacle into a drinking vessel. The lid having a straw protuberance extending upward from the lid floor and configured with an opening for placement therethrough of a straw. The straw protuberance extending upward to prevent liquid from the receptacle from flowing out the opening of the straw protuberance. The lid is configured for nesting engagement with a drinking vessel, such as a mate gourd. The lid preferably has a vertical divider extending upward from the floor to divide the lid receptacle into two or more receptacles. A user can then place tea substrate into each receptacle and can spend the tea substrate in one sub-receptacle, then utilize the tea substrate in the remaining receptacle.

The present disclosure relates to a beverage making device, which includes a lid, a container, an infuser and a pump for pumping liquid. The pump pumps liquid in the container to the infuser through the riser tube. A protective flow-diversion cover is sleeved over a top end of the riser tube, and the protective flow-diversion cover is provided with a water outlet. The lid of the beverage making device is provided with a protruding member extending downward. Only when the lid is closed, the protective flow-diversion cover can open the water outlet by being triggered by the protruding part. This ensures that no liquid will be ejected from the beverage making device when the lid is opened.

A water outlet device includes a containment unit including a containment seat for containing liquid and having a water outlet hole, and a stopper movably disposed in the water outlet hole and capable of blocking the water outlet hole for preventing the liquid from flowing out thereof. A water outlet gate unit is disposed below the containment unit and includes a drive member that drives the stopper to move between a water stop position to block the water outlet hole and a water discharge position for allowing the liquid to flow through the water outlet hole. An automatic water dispenser having the water outlet device is also disclosed.

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 lid structure, which is used for covering an opening of a container, includes a mainbody, an elastic annular element, and a covering assembly. The mainbody includes a through hole. The elastic annular element is integrally disposed on a peripheral region of the mainbody, wherein the elastic annular element is used for positioning the lid structure on the opening. The covering assembly is disposed on the mainbody and includes a spacer element and a covering element. The spacer element is disposed on and covers the through hole. The spacer element includes a plurality of drain holes and a central connecting portion. The covering element is deformably disposed on the central connecting portion.

A flip lid coffee machine includes a base body, a holding container, a cover pivotally connected to the base body, an actuator, an image sensing camera and a control device. The cover has a pivot end, a free end and a cutting membrane structure arranged between the pivot end and the free end. The cutting membrane structure includes a blade holder, a plurality of the water outlets arranged around a periphery of the blade holder, and a plurality of blades arranged around the periphery of the blade holder and corresponding to the plurality of the water outlets. The actuator is connected between the base body and the pivot end of the cover. The image sensing camera is arranged at the free end of the cover. The control device is connected with the actuator and the image sensing camera.

A food processing device configured to process a food product stored in a pod is disclosed. The food processing device may further include a drive assembly. The drive assembly may include a drive motor configured to move linearly in the vertical direction, and a linear actuator coupled to the drive motor. The linear actuator may cause the drive motor to move linearly in the vertical direction. The drive assembly may further include a drive shaft coupled to the drive motor. The drive shaft may be configured to engage or disengage with the top shaft of the pod owing to the linear movement of the drive motor in vertical direction. Upon engaging with the tops shaft of the pod, the drive shaft may be further configured to impart rotary motion to the top shaft.

A liquid infusion device includes a container, a container collar, a lid assembly, and a filter basket. The container has an open top, a closed sidewall, and a closed bottom. The container collar has a collar opening and is configured to couple to a rim of the open top. The lid assembly is configured to cover at least a portion of the collar opening. The filter basket is configured to hold infusion material and to be suspended from the lid assembly and into an interior of the container. The filter basket includes an open top, a bottom, and a sidewall having an opening. The infusion device can include a motor configured to impart motion to the filter basket.
