The present invention relates to a pressure profiling device (1), particularly for dispensing units of pressurized liquids, comprising a pump (3) adapted to generate a flow of a pressurized liquid in outlet, said pump (3) being configured to be connected, by means of at least one delivery duct (5, 5′), to at least one dispensing unit (7, 7′) of said liquid, a three-way hydraulic fitting (9, 9′) being applied to said at least one delivery duct (5, 5′), configured to divert a first part of said liquid leaving said pump (3) into a bypass duct (11, 11′), a remaining second part of said liquid continuing on said at least one delivery duct (5, 5′), a proportional valve (13, 13′) being applied to said bypass duct (11, 11′), which can be operated to vary the flow rate of said first part of said liquid diverted in said bypass duct (11, 11′) as a function of the degree of opening of said proportional valve (13, 13′) so as to vary the pressure of the remaining second part of said liquid,

According to the invention, a restriction (15, 15′) is applied to said at least one delivery duct (5, 5′) between said pump (3) and said three-way hydraulic fitting (9, 9′), configured to impose a reduction in the flow rate of said liquid leaving said pump (3).

Beverage supply apparatus (100) has milk tank (3), milk flow path (L3) connecting the milk tank to beverage delivery port (10), first pump (7), air flow path (L6) to supply air via its connection portion (Z1), and third pump (9). The apparatus drives the third pump to supply air to the milk flow path, and drives the first pump to thereby deliver and supply a mixed beverage of milk and air from the beverage delivery port. The apparatus includes path (L7) for releasing a portion of the air flowing through the air flow path, one end portion of which is connected to release point (Z8) which is a predetermined portion of the air flow path between a beverage flow path side end portion (location of a connection portion (Z6)) and the third pump. The other end portion thereof is open to the outside.

High pressure, low temperature, continuous flow extraction systems and methods are designed to produce fluid consumables, including water-based consumables such as coffee or tea. The extraction systems and methods are designed to be safer, more efficient, and more scalable than other known and conventional extraction techniques, and to have significantly quicker extraction times and higher yields.

A mechanism for a brewing machine includes a fluid reservoir, a first receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir, a second receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir, a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the first receptacle. The second channel is configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the second receptacle.

The water-dispensing system with coffee maker comprises a water generation system, a condensate pump, a condensate filter, and a coffee maker. 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 machine (1) for serving a beverage (7) via a dispensing outlet (8) to a consumer receptacle (9) by mixing water (3) from a water source (3′) with a flavouring ingredient (2), has a mixing unit (10) that comprises: a stationary support (11); a seat (12) having an ingredient opening (120); a closure part (13) configured to close and open the ingredient opening (120); and a wall part (14) that is movable inside the seat (12). The seat (12), the closure part (13) and the wall part (14) are: mounted to the support (11); and relatively movable between a transfer configuration and a mixing chamber configuration in which the seat (12) and the closure part (13) and the wall part (14) form a mixing chamber (12′) fluidically connected with the water source (3′). The mixing chamber (12′) is in fluid communication with a valve (6) configured to release pressure from the mixing chamber (12′) when containing the flavouring ingredient (2) prior to driving the water (3) into the mixing chamber (12′) for mixing with the flavouring ingredient (2).

Dispensing assembly for dispensing a flowable food product, comprising: a bag-in-box type container for holding a product concentrate, the container having a concentrate outlet for releasing product concentrate from the container; a mixing unit spaced apart from the concentrate outlet, the mixing unit being configured for mixing the product concentrate with a liquid, the mixing unit having a concentrate inlet for receiving product concentrate released from the container, a liquid inlet for receiving the liquid, and a spout for dispensing as a flowable food product the product concentrate mixed with the liquid; and a duct arranged for guiding a flow of product concentrate along a flow path from the concentrate outlet of the container to the concentrate inlet of the mixing unit, wherein at least a section of the duct is flexible for flexibly adjusting the flow path.

A coffee machine is provided. The coffee machine may include a water line configured to supply water, a pump configured to pressurize the water, a first in-line heating element configured to heat the water to an intermediate temperature, a second in-line heating element configured to heat the water from the intermediate temperature to a temperature set point during an extraction process, and one or more electronic control modules configured to receive brewing settings, the brewing settings including the at least one temperature set point, estimate, based partially on the intermediate temperature, a flow rate of the water through the first in-line heating element, and adjust, based at least partially on the estimated flow rate, a power provided to the second in-line heating element.

High pressure, low temperature, continuous flow extraction systems and methods are designed to produce fluid consumables, including water-based consumables such as coffee or tea. The extraction systems and methods are designed to be safer, more efficient, and more scalable than other known and conventional extraction techniques, and to have significantly quicker extraction times and higher yields.

A brewing device is used for preparing beverages like in particular coffee or tea. The brewing device includes a brewing chamber with an opening for loading/unloading a brewing material, a piston slidably mounted in the brewing chamber and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is programmed to cause the piston to move among a loading configuration, in which the brewing material is loadable in the brewing chamber, a compression configuration, in which the piston compacts the brewing material in the brewing chamber, and an expulsion configuration, in which the piston extracts the exhausted material from the brewing chamber. The electronic control unit is programmed to cause, in the loading configuration, the piston to lower from a higher position, corresponding to an initial loading configuration, to a lower position, corresponding to a final loading configuration.
