A coffee machine includes a filter holder intended to contain at least one coffee dose, a dispensing unit with dispensing nozzles intended to send a flow of hot water on the coffee dose, a water system provided with a pump to supply pressurized water towards the dispensing nozzles, a heater to heat the water to be supplied to the dispensing nozzles, a dispensing valve to enable/disable the supply of hot water towards the dispensing nozzles, and a pre-infusion valve disposed upstream the dispensing valve. The pre-infusion valve is set in such a way as to operate in pulsed mode for a pre-infusion time of at least 4 seconds, with opening and closing time equal to or lower than 1 second.

A coffee machine has a body, a dispensing unit, a conduit, a supply and heating device, a filter holder, fast coupling/uncoupling means to couple the filter holder under the conduit, a control unit, a presence sensor to detect the presence of the filter holder under the conduit, and a switch to enable the passage of electrical current towards the supply and heating device and towards the dispensing unit when the presence sensor detects that the filter holder is uncoupled from the fast coupling/uncoupling means. The control unit has a timer to manage the opening/closing of the switch.

A coffee brewing device includes a base and a water output device. A heating device heats water in or flowing out of a water tank. A water guiding tube is connected to the water tank and an output guiding seat. A pump guides water in the water tank to the output guiding seat. The output guiding seat is mounted above the base and includes first and second water outlets aligned with different locations of a supporting portion of the base. A container is disposed on top of a rotatable disc which is disposed on the supporting portion and driven by a transmission unit. A filtering cup is detachably disposed at an opening of the container. The filtering cup includes a chamber, an opening in an upper end thereof, and an outlet in a lower end thereof. A controller controls operation of the heating device, the pump, and the transmission unit.

An extracting apparatus for extracting a beverage liquid from an extraction target includes an extraction container including a neck portion with an opening and a trunk portion and configured to store the extraction target and a liquid, a filter arranged on the opening of the neck portion and configured to restrict leakage of the extraction target, and a driving unit configured to change a posture of the extraction container from a first posture in which the neck portion is located on an upper side to a second posture in which the neck portion is located on a lower side.

A beverage preparation device (1) having a disk valve (6), comprising a valve housing (12) and a disk stack (7) arranged therein, having a cover disk (8) that has at least one fluid opening, configured as a fluid inlet opening, for fluid (5), in particular water and/or steam, and having at least one control disk (10) that is arranged on a side of the cover disk (8) facing away from an outer end side of the cover disk (8), wherein the control disk (10) is rotatable, manually and/or by means of a drive, about an axis of rotation (R) relative to the cover disk (8) between different selection positions, wherein a pressure chamber (15) is formed outside the fluid opening (11), within which pressure chamber (15) a contact pressure (P) is exertable, by means of the fluid (5) flowing therethrough, on the outer end side (14) of the cover disk (9) along the axis of rotation (R) in the direction of the control disk (10), and wherein the pressure chamber (15) is bounded in the radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation (R) by an elastomer seal (13), which is supported on the cover disk (8) in the axial direction, and wherein a pressure-chamber cross-sectional area enclosed by the elastomer seal (13) and/or the pressure-surface portion (17), able to be loaded with hydraulic pressure, of the outer cover disk (8) next to the fluid opening (11) corresponds to at least 20% of the axial projection surface of the cover disk (8), and/or is greater than a fluid-opening cross-sectional area of the fluid opening (11).
