A capsule is designed for insertion in a centrifugal beverage production device for preparing a beverage from a substance contained in the capsule by introducing liquid in the capsule and passing the liquid through the substance using centrifugal forces. The capsule includes a body having a bottom end and an open end spaced apart in the axial direction, an upper wall for covering the body at the open end along a direction transverse to the axial direction, and an enclosure between the body and the upper wall containing a predetermined amount of beverage substance. The capsule further includes an annular pressure-setting ring configured for adjusting the backpressure in the beverage production device. The pressure-setting ring provides an improved coffee in-cup quality. A set of capsules can have pressure-setting rings of different dimensions for setting different backpressure when engaged in a centrifuging beverage production device.

Cold-brewed compositions and methods for preparing them are disclosed that comprise the general steps of: (a) adding together ingredients comprising unheated aqueous liquid, a variety of brewing ingredients, and emulsion stabilizers comprising polysaccharides to obtain various aqueous mixtures; (b) grinding brewing ingredients amidst the obtained aqueous mixtures for a period of 30 seconds to three minutes to obtain various dispersions of finely ground brewing particles; and (c) removing brewing particles large enough to be detected by the tongue or mouth to obtain a variety of novel cold-brewed compositions that possess stabilized emulsions.

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.

A capsule for the preparation of a beverage can include a container and a beverage ingredient contained therein. The container can include at least one support having a section on which a plurality of sequences of symbols is represented; each symbol is sequentially readable, by a reading arrangement of an external device, while the capsule is rotated along an axis of rotation. Each sequence can code a set of information related to the capsule, and at least one of the sequences can include symbols defining a preamble sequence that allows determination of a position of the symbols in the associated sequence coding the set of information related to the capsule. The container can include a cup-shaped body having a flange-like rim and a lid connected to the body, the support can be on a bottom of the rim, and the bottom of the rim can be opposed to the lid.

A beverage brewer includes a brewing chamber, a hollow injection nozzle, a rotation member, and a motor. The brewing chamber is configured to receive and hold a brewing cartridge. The injection nozzle is arranged in fluid communication with a liquid supply and configured to enter a brewing cartridge when the brewing cartridge is disposed in the brewing chamber and to provide fluid communication from the liquid supply to an interior of the brewing cartridge. The rotation member is arranged at a periphery of the brewing chamber. The motor is configured to rotate the rotation member. The beverage brewer can also include a hollow extraction nozzle arranged opposite an opening of the brewing chamber and configured to enter the brewing cartridge when the brewing cartridge is disposed in the brewing chamber and to provide fluid communication from an interior of the brewing cartridge to an exterior of the brewing chamber.

A coffee brewing system includes a brew vessel adapted to receive water and ground coffee to produce and store a brewed beverage. The brew vessel includes a filter and a magnet stirrer in the lower portion of the brew vessel. The magnet stirrer creates a water vortex for brewing the coffee. The used coffee grounds are allowed to settle on the filter creating a bed of used coffee grounds and the coffee is then filtered through both the bed of used coffee grounds and the filter and collected in a coffee storage container.
