The coffee maker further comprises a water storage reservoir and a power circuit. The water generation system, the condensate pump, and the condensate filter are fluidically connected. The condensate filter fluidically connects to the water storage reservoir of the coffee maker. The water generation system and the condensate pump electrically connect to the power circuit. The water-dispensing system with coffee maker is powered using electrical energy provided by a power circuit provisioned through the coffee maker.

A system and method for producing an extract from an extraction material by means of an extraction agent comprises a supply line for the extraction agent, a heating device, a brewing device for the extraction material and an extract collection container. The supply line contains a measuring element and at least one volumetric flow control element for the volumetric flow of the extraction agent. In addition, the temperature of the heated extraction agent can be measured by means of the measuring element. The system comprises a control unit, the control unit containing a dosage regime for the heated extraction agent for the brewing device. The dosage regimen can be selected by means of an input device, whereby the volumetric flow control element can be set according to the dosage regimen and is monitored via the measuring element.

A cyclic preheating coffee pot includes a main body, a brewing cavity, a water supply apparatus, a heating apparatus, a water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe mounted on the main body, and a control apparatus, a driving apparatus and a flow dividing structure mounted on the main body. The water supply apparatus is communicated with the heating apparatus, the water supply apparatus is configured to supply water to the heating apparatus, and the water outlet pipe is communicated with the heating apparatus and the flow dividing structure. The flow dividing structure includes a first branch. The water outlet pipe is communicated with the water supply apparatus via the first branch, such that the water supply apparatus, the water inlet pipe, the heating apparatus, the water outlet pipe and the first branch are communicated and form a cyclic pipeline provided with a one-way valve apparatus or a water pump.

A machine for extraction of beverage comprising a driving unit, a storage unit and a transfer unit is disclosed. The storage unit connects with the driving unit. The transfer unit comprises a multi-way valve assembly that comprises a first end, a second and a third end. The first end is used to connect with a container holding a solvent, the second end connects with the storage unit, and the third end connects with an extraction unit. When the multi-way valve assembly is under a first state, the solvent is driven by the driving unit to flow between the first end and the storage unit. The solvent is driven by the driving unit and then to flow between the storage unit and the third end when the multi-way valve assembly is under a second state.

An automatic machine for preparing coffee beverages includes a brewing unit provided with a brewing chamber connected to a feed circuit for the water by means of an entry aperture and to an exit circuit for the beverage by means of an exit aperture.
