The present invention relates to a device configured to allow a hot water nozzle and a dripper to move relatively in three axial directions in a space in order to replicate the movement of a barista extracting a pour over coffee, the device comprising: a horizontal transport part for operating a head case so that the nozzle is transported along the radial direction of the dripper; a rotational operation part for operating so as to support the bottom surface of the dripper and to rotate same; and an elevation operation part for operating so as to vertically transport the rotational operation part.

A drip bag includes a bag main body formed of a water permeable filter sheet and hooking members made of a thin plate-like material on two opposite outer surfaces. Each hooking member includes upper bonded, central, and a pair of arm portions from the central to toward the upper bonded portion, and a pair of hooking portions. The arm portions are mutually spaced with a bag main body width center line between them. Each hooking portion extends downward in and are not bonded onto the bag main body. Each arm portion can be pulled up from the bag main body at an upper part, and has a fixed side on the bag main body at a lower part. The fixed side is inclined relative to a bag main body width direction. A bag main body opening portion opens wider even when a cup opening diameter is small.

A beverage forming method and system in which a carafe is positionable at a carafe receiving area of a beverage forming machine with a lid of the carafe in an open position or a closed position. The carafe may be positioned at the carafe receiving area in any one of multiple rotational positions within a range of 45 to 180 degrees, and the machine may detect whether the lid is open or not for any of the rotational positions. A drip tray may receive waste liquid into two different waste liquid receiving areas, and may detect the presence of liquid for different volumes received into the respective areas. Holes or other opening in the drip tray may be configured to receive liquid flowing down a side surface of a carafe when the liquid reaches a periphery of the carafe base.

A beverage brewing apparatus includes a body including a body side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. A base is removably connected to the body and includes a base side wall and a top wall. The base side wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. A valve assembly is mounted to the base. The valve assembly includes a valve plate and a valve seal connected to the valve plate. The valve seal is movable from a closed position where the valve seal is in contact with the top wall and an open position. A filter assembly is mounted to the base, and includes a filter having a peripheral edge and a gasket having a flange. The gasket is secured to the peripheral edge of the filter, and assembling the body, base, and filter assembly secures the gasket flange between the body and the base.

The present invention is to provide a brewing vessel having a flexible assembly ring, which includes a vessel body having a brewing space therein and upper and lower openings in communication with the brewing space respectively, a base having a through hole passed therethrough and a ring wall upwardly and protrudingly disposed at a top thereof corresponding to the through hole, a flexible assembly ring capable of being deformed to sleeve onto the ring wall and having a plurality of abutting members disposed along the periphery of the outer surface thereof for watertightly abutting against the inner surface of the lower opening when the bottom of the vessel body is mounted on the top of the base. Thus, the vessel body and the base can be watertightly combined together by the flexible assembly ring, so gaps between the vessel body and the base can be fully filled with precision.

A beverage system is provided including a housing and a brew basket body connected to said housing. The brew basket body is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. When said brew basket body is in said retracted position, said brew basket body is arranged in sealing contact with an adjacent component of said beverage system.

A beverage discharge disposition for frothing a liquid food product such as milk and comprising a discharge casing (1) configured for provision in the front region of a beverage preparation machine (20). The beverage discharge disposition comprises an air valve (10) adapted to provide better milk frothing conditions and including an ambient air admission, an air flow constrain element (19) adapted to provide variations of a passageway section (18) of ambient air flow, an air flux discharge wall (17) provided downstream of the air flow constrain element (19), and a discharge chamber provided upstream of the air flux discharge wall (17).

A beverage dispensing machine designed for aircraft use has compact dimensions, is low-weight and satisfies the safety requirements and standards applicable in that sector. The beverage dispensing machine can dispense both large quantities of a beverage, such as 1.6 liters of American coffee or tea, inside a jug positioned inside an appropriate seat, and smaller quantities of hot water (typically 150 ml), which can be used to prepare beverages, via a nozzle situated on the outside thereof. In one embodiment, the beverage dispensing machine includes a bottom jug retention system having a locking lever hinged on spiral seats to keep the jug stationary during the dispensing of the beverage.

A drip filter coffee making device has a filter basket with a lid. The lid supports a water dispenser for wetting grounds in the filter basket. The basket is removable from a body of the device. The lid may have a dampened opening motion, biased into an open position by a spring.

A beverage system is provided including a housing and a brew basket body connected to said housing. The brew basket body is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. When said brew basket body is in said retracted position, said brew basket body is arranged in sealing contact with an adjacent component of said beverage system.
