A cold brew coffee brewing system to prepare cold brew coffee by extraction of coffee grounds with brew water in a single-past, non-immersion extraction operation uses a tower unit with first and second receiving locations to receive a pre-infusion container for preparation of a pre-infusion mixture of coffee grounds during a pre-infusion operation and to receive an extraction vessel containing the transferred pre-infusion mixture for extraction processing to prepare cold brew coffee product, which is collected in a collection container received in the second receiving location of the tower unit. A brew control system controls operation of the water dispensing system during a cold brewing process cycle, and including a controller unit having stored therein multiple profiles for different cold-brew coffee product that may be prepared at the direction of the controller unit. A network may include multiple such cold brew coffee brewing systems connected with a central server.

A filter vessel for preparing a filtrate, in particular of coffee or tea, comprises a cylindrical chamber with a filling opening at the upper end and a base having a filter region at the lower end. During a filtration process, the filter vessel can be placed onto a receiving container. The contact region between the filter vessel and the receiving container is hermetically sealed in an air-tight manner. A negative pressure can be generated in the receiving container by an evacuation device. The filter vessel comprises, on its underside, a recess surrounding the filter region. The recess receives the rim of an opening of the receiving container. A seal is situated in the recess. An air duct has a first duct opening located on the underside of the filter vessel inside the seal, and a second duct opening, which is suitable for connection to the evacuation device.

A machine (1) for preparing a beverage has a beverage processing unit (10,20) formed of a first processing unit member (10) and a second processing unit member (20) that delimit a chamber (21) and that are movable between a distant configuration in which the ingredient (2) is received in the chamber (21) and a proximate configuration in which the ingredient (2) is held and mixed with the water (4) in the chamber (21). The machine includes: a water source for delivering the water (4) towards the beverage processing unit (10,20); and a fluid module (15) having a water guide (30) for guiding the water (4) between the water source and the chamber (21), the fluid module (15) comprising the first processing unit member (10) of the processing unit (10,20). The fluid module (15) is assemblable by a user as a unit to the water source and to the second processing unit member (20) and is disassemblable by a user as a unit from the water source and from the second processing unit member (20).

Provided is an imitated pour-over coffee maker capable of high-temperature control, including: a body having therein a water tank and a coffee-making tank; a human-machine interface module; a first coffee-making module; a second coffee-making module; a first control module; and a second control module for reading a signal of a third temperature sensor to control a second solenoid valve to perform coffee-making commencement or perform water-return commencement for returning water to the coffee-making tank. High-temperature control can be exercised over water dispensed by the delivery head, thereby optimizing the automation of imitated pour-over coffee making.

Filter (1) for preparing coffee or an infusion for single use, of the type that comprises a tub (6) for pouring a liquid over, usually water, and whereby, when considered in use position, a compartment (4) is provided at the bottom of the tub (6) which is partly delimited by means of water-permeable layers and in which coffee or herbs are provided, whereby the tub (6) is made of an essentially cylindrical or conical jacket (6′), the lower edge of which is provided with an inwardly oriented supporting edge (5) which transitions into a cylindrical compartment (4) with perforated base, whereby the inwardly oriented supporting edge (5) serves as a supporting edge for the filter (1) when said filter is placed on a cup (11), characterised in that at least the outside surface of the supporting edge on the outside is provided with a microroughness Ra between 10 and 200 μm.
