Portable solvent infuser assembly
A portable solvent infuser assembly for infusing a drinking liquid dispenser quickly couples and uncouples to a drinking liquid dispenser, yet effectively and efficiently permits infusion of a solute housed in the assembly within a solvent within drinking liquid dispenser. The solvent infuser assembly includes a fine infuser body subassembly and a coarse infuser body subassembly arranged axially, and interchangeable and adaptable to variously sized threaded connections. Apertures define the sidewalls of the infuser body subassemblies to permit liquid inside the drinking liquid dispenser to enter and egress the body cavity. A cap subassembly, which is coupled to the infuser body subassemblies detachably attaches to an opening of the drinking liquid dispenser so that the infuser body subassemblies are fully immersed in the cavity of the drinking liquid dispenser. The cap subassembly has a concave curved shape to enable uniform flowage of the liquid through an infused solution intake member.
BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED PURGE AND RESIDUES DISCHARGE, AND PROCESS OF OPERATION OF SAID SYSTEM
The present invention discloses a beverage distribution system, in particular a system for preparing espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, comprising a drinking recipient (1, 1′), for example of the glass, cup or similar type, a beverage discharge disposition (2) operatively associated to a beverage pressurization device (3), whereby said beverage discharge disposition (2) is provided so that the beverage discharge flow impinges, with a given flow pressure, to a flow regulation disposition (12) in the base region (11) of said drinking recipient (1, 1′) along a direction opposite the gravity force, whereby said beverage apparatus (3) further comprises purge means (26) adapted so that provide the circulation of a purge flow through at least part of said beverage discharge disposition (2), optionally also through a drinking recipient (1, 1′) operatively engaged thereon.
PORTABLE SYSTEM FOR DISPENSING CONTROLLED QUANTITIES OF ADDITIVES INTO A BEVERAGE
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.
Method and Apparatus for High Yield Foaming of Coffee
An apparatus for high yield foaming of coffee has a pressure control mechanism, a gas pressure source, a water reservoir and a back pressure resonance mechanism, wherein a coffee outlet is arranged at a lower part of the back pressure resonance mechanism. When a button is pressed, water having a controlled water pressure enters a coffee placement cavity to be mixed with the coffee and extracted. One resonance needle and a colloid ring constitute a resonance cavity. When pressed coffee slurry passes through the resonance cavity, due to the pressed coffee slurry and a special structure of the resonance cavity, the coffee slurry is sufficiently foamed after high-frequency oscillation and flows out of the coffee outlet.
PORTABLE BEVERAGE BREWING AND BEVERAGE ANALYTE TRACKING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for providing a beverage brewing and analyte tracking portable platform. In some embodiments of the disclosed portable beverage brewing and analyte tracking technology, an intelligent beverage management system includes a portable brewing device in communication with a user's mobile device (e.g., smartphone, smartwatch, etc.) for monitoring and controlling consumption and metabolism of caffeine and other compounds from beverages consumed using the portable brewing device and/or other beverages logged by the user. The intelligent beverage management system includes a cloud-based data processing system in communication with the mobile device and/or portable brewing device to receive, process and/or store data associated with brewing of the beverage and data associated with the monitoring of consumption of the beverage and/or certain beverage constituents.
Self Contained Cold Brew Beverage Container
Provided are cold brew beverage products, methods of preparing cold brew beverages, and methods of making cold brew beverage products. In particular, cold brew beverage products are provided that include an infusion bag containing infusible material, a receptacle containing water having at least one breakable wall, and an outer container.
BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH ERGONOMIC RETENTION OF DRINKING RECIPIENTS, AND PROCESS OF OPERATION THEREOF
A beverage distribution system for preparation of espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, including a drinking recipient (1, 1′), for example of glass, cup, or similar type, a beverage discharge disposition (2) operatively associated with a beverage preparation device (3), whereby the beverage discharge disposition (2) is provided so that the beverage discharge flow impinges, along a direction opposite to the gravity force and with a given flow pressure, and a flow regulation mechanism (13) on the drinking recipient (1, 1′), whereby the drinking recipient (1, 1′) presents a recipient retention mechanism (17) provided so that the drinking recipients (1, 1′) can only be placed on the recipient placement support (22) in one or two previously defined angular extensions with relation to the beverage discharge disposition (2).
Portable beverage press mug and methods
A portable beverage press mug is includes a vessel and a press head assembly. The press head assembly includes a screen (or filter) and a valve arrangement covering the screen. The valve arrangement is movable in response to fluid pressure to create a gap between the valve arrangement and the frame and permit fluid to pass through the screen and the gap.
BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM WITH COMPOSED DRINKING RECIPIENTS, AND PROCESS OF OPERATION THEREOF
A beverage distribution system for preparation of espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, including a drinking recipient (1, 1′), for example of type glass, cup, or similar, a beverage discharge disposition (2) operatively associated with a beverage preparation device (3), whereby the beverage discharge disposition is provided so that the beverage discharge flow impinges, with a given flow pressure, a flow regulation disposition (12) on the base region (11) of the drinking recipient (1, 1′) along a direction opposite gravity, whereby the drinking recipient has first and second recipient parts (11, 12) adapted to be removably retained and that, in an assembled condition, provide fluid connection through a flow passageway (110) that develops along a single direction and to confine the beverage flow downstream of flow constrain means (16) and upstream of the entry of beverage flow in the region of the base wall (111) of the collection space.
