A cool coffee infusing apparatus is disclosed having a liquid container, a ground coffee container, and a base. The base includes a pump, controls therefore, and receptacles for the containers. The liquid container is filled with cool water and the ground coffee container is filled with ground coffee. The pump circulates the water through the grounds until a desired level of infusion is achieved and coffee beverage is created. The coffee beverage is collected in the liquids container for pouring or for storage for later use.

A system and method directed to the partial or full automation of recipe processing by an appliance is described. A recipe may include one or more of at least a portion of operating code, one or more appliance operation(s) or one or more action(s) to initiate operation of the appliance. A computing device may include a recipe processing application that generates a display on a user interface. The display may include one or more indications of the partial or full automation of appliance operations for processing recipe ingredients. The appliance is a blender in one example, and the appliance operations are for processing the recipe ingredients by the blender.

A machine for preparing aromatic beverages by extraction, such as espresso coffee and similar beverages. The machine comprises at least one optimized beverage discharge disposition, in particular presenting a first and second flow sections separated by a throttling section that configures a double deflection of the prevailing flow direction, so that it provides a streamlining of the discharge flow.

A drinks preparation system includes a preparation module for a brewed drink, a milk module for the delivery of milk and at least one outlet that is designed such that the brewed drink and the milk can be delivered into one and the same drinks vessel, which is placed on a placement platform, i.e. without having to rearrange the drinks vessel between the delivery of the brewed drink and the delivery of the milk. The system further includes a display device with a graphic display for the display of the delivery drinks quantity in real time. The display device is configured to display the cumulative quantity of the delivered brewed drink and of the delivered milk via a common, graphic display element. The display element therefore shows a filling level, which represents an added quantity of the two drinks shares (brewed drink, delivered milk).

A coffee machine includes a device for supplying hot water to an outlet device. The outlet device is adapted for being arranged above a filter vessel into which a filter paper insert with ground coffee is insertable and for receiving the hot water from the hot water supply. The outlet device has a central outlet opening over a middle region of the filter-paper insert when filled with ground coffee and a plurality of outer outlet openings arranged above a middle region of the side walls of the filled filter-paper insert. A controllable selector switch controls a rate of hot water through individual outlet openings of the outlet device. The controllable selector switch has at least three switching positions for adjusting coffee strength. In all switching positions of the controllable selector switch the hot water is at least partially supplied via the outer outlet openings over the filled filter-paper insert.

A portable, self-contained beverage apparatus includes a container assembly having a known storage capacity for storing a consumable liquid, and a dispensing assembly disposed within the container assembly that dispenses variable, non-zero quantities of additives into the consumable liquid. The dispensing assembly includes multiple apertures structured and arranged to retain vessels containing the additives to be dispensed into the consumable liquid. The beverage apparatus also includes a level sensor disposed within the container assembly that determines a consumable liquid level of the consumable liquid stored in the container assembly. In certain embodiments, one or more positive displacement pumping mechanisms are configured to pump additive liquid from additive containers into a beverage chamber.

According to the present disclosure, when drip coffee is extracted, it may learn drip coffee recipe information of a barista to be imitated and extract the drip coffee based on the learned reference acidity and reference concentration. The extracted drip coffee may be compared with the learned reference acidity and the reference concentration and evaluated, and when the acidity and concentration of the drip coffee are matched with the reference acidity and the reference concentration, the drip coffee having the same acidity and concentration as the drip coffee may be extracted. Alternatively, when the acidity and concentration of the drip coffee are not matched with the reference acidity and the reference concentration, drip coffee having the same or/and similar acidity and concentration as or/and to the reference acidity and the reference concentration may be extracted by changing extraction conditions of the drip coffee through reinforcement learning.

A recirculation brewing process and apparatus for performing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the coffee brewing process comprises: a brew chamber to hold a packed chamber of coffee grounds; and a pump to force a liquid under pressure through the packed chamber of coffee grounds over multiple brewing cycles to extract coffee flavor from the coffee grounds into the liquid using a temperature agnostic infusing brewing process, the liquid under pressure causing a pressure differential over tunnels within the coffee grounds and over the brew chamber when forced through the chamber each cycle of a plurality of cycles to cause extraction of the flavor into the liquid.

An infusing apparatus and method for using the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a portable device for infusing a liquid with flavor from material, where the device comprises: a liquid container to store a liquid; a brew chamber to hold the material; and a pump to generate a pressure differential over tunnels within the material and over the brew chamber.

The disclosure relates to a brewing apparatus configured to carry out a submerged soluble brewing method. The apparatus consists of a holding volume into which a brewing soluble may be inserted, the brewing soluble being held in place during the brewing process by top and bottom filters. The holding volume is connected to a collection volume which captures the brewed solution as it exits the holding volume. Liquid flow into the holding volume is regulated by a processor-controlled valve or pump connected to a feed supply to produce the ideal extraction based on user inputs or preset instructions. Advantageously, the characteristics of the brew produced by the apparatus are not affected by the size of the respective volumes. Furthermore, use of the apparatus ensures that every part of the soluble is subjected to an equal or similar flow of liquid, ensuring high efficiency. Additionally, the submerged bed brewing method allows for a higher flow rate than traditional cold drip brewing, allowing for shorter brewing times.
