METHOD OF GENERATING A DESIRED TEMPERATURE OF AN INFUSED BEVERAGE WITHIN A BREWING ASSEMBLY
20230270282 · 2023-08-31 ·

A method of generating a desired temperature of an infused beverage within a brewing assembly that includes inducing a flow of a first solvent at a first temperature within a first solvent conduit upstream of a brewing chamber in a brewing assembly, inducing a flow of a second solvent within a second solvent conduit, separate from the first solvent conduit, upstream of the brewing chamber, and thermally modulating the second solvent to a second temperature higher and different than the first temperature. The method also includes selectively combining the first and second solvents at a resulting solvent conduit upstream of the brewing chamber to form a resulting solvent at a selectively desired temperature lower than the second temperature, receiving the resulting solvent at the brewing chamber housing a solute at the selectively desired temperature to produce an infused beverage, and discharging the infused through an outlet on the beverage assembly.
