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.

Filter holder for espresso coffee machines having a cup-shaped body of circular profile, suitable for internally housing the filter, as well as a pouring device of the beverage disposed under the cup-shaped body and provided with at least one pouring spout, the filter holder being provided with connections for connecting the pouring device to the cup-shaped body, wherein the connections enable a bayonet coupling between the pouring device and the cup-shaped body.

A system for detecting the presence of a filter holder in a dispensing assembly of a coffee machine includes: a ring with an internal groove, a filter holder with a tab coupled with the groove and a proximity sensor. The groove has a semi-annular shape and is configured in such a way to receive the tab of the filter holder in bayonet coupling mode, wherein the filter holder is translated and rotated. The ring has a rotation stopper suitable for stopping the rotation of the filter holder in the ring in a stop point. The proximity sensor passes through the ring and finishes in the stop point of the groove of the ring.

A motorized brewing unit for preparing beverages from a powdered product has a dispensing assembly having a first assembly part provided with a receptacle adapted to receive the powdered product, and a second assembly part, relative to which the first assembly part is movable between an open position and a closed position in which the first assembly part and the second assembly part are coupled to each other to define a brewing chamber therebetween. The motorized brewing unit has an electric motor that controls movement of the first assembly part between the open position and the closed position and a readout device that provides a digital image of the powdered product. The readout device has an optical sensor. The receptacle faces the optical sensor when the first assembly part is in a detection position, intermediate between the open position and the closed position.

Capsule (1) for the preparation of a beverage in a centrifugal extraction device (50) by feeding liquid in the capsule and rotating the capsule along a rotational axis (I) in the device to produce centrifugal forces on the liquid, wherein the capsule (1) comprises containment walls forming an interior cavity (2) containing beverage ingredients (3); said containment walls comprising a lid (4) and a side wall (5) extending substantially revolutionary around a central axis (I) and a peripheral flange (8) extending peripherally in radial direction to said axis (I), said flange (8) comprising an annular base (9) extending outwardly and a valve means (10) connected to said annular base, said valve means (10) extending in a direction (A) transversal to said radial direction (B) and being configured with at least one deflectable valve portion (11) which deflects for leaving a transversal passage upon the centrifugal pressure exerted by liquid flowing thereon when the capsule is rotated about the axis (I) during the centrifugal extraction wherein the peripheral flange (8) forms an extension part of the side wall (5) and is independent from said lid (4).

An adjustable brew head linkage includes a brew head linkage element, a handle linkage element, and an adjusting element between the brew head linkage element and the handle linkage element to smoothly increase and decrease the distance between the brew head linkage element and the handle linkage element to alter the size of a corresponding brew chamber to accommodate various brew pods. The brew head linkage element and/or handle linkage element may include a threaded portion to engage the adjusting element. Turning the adjusting element causes deflection. Threaded portions may have opposite handedness or different pitches. A secondary brew head linkage locking element provides friction to lock the adjusting element in place. The adjusting element increases and decreases the distance between the head linkage and the handle linkage in increments smaller than 0.178 millimeters ( 7/1000 inches).

A system for preparing a brewed beverage from at least one flavorant includes a housing, a receptacle connectable to the housing for holding the at least one flavorant and a reservoir connectable to the housing. The receptacle including a first fluid inlet and a second fluid inlet and a first fluid flow path fluidly connects the reservoir to the first fluid inlet and a second fluid flow path fluidly connects the reservoir to the second fluid inlet.

The disclosure discloses a coffee press filter. The coffee press filter includes a filter pressing cylinder body, a filter pressing push rod and a filter pressing bracket, the filter pressing cylinder body is provided with a tubular water injection cavity, one end of the water injection cavity is an open end, the filter pressing bracket is internally provided with an accommodating cavity, the accommodating cavity is internally provided with a filtering cup, the other end, opposite to the open end, of the water injection cavity is integrally provided with a pressing cover, and the pressing cover is provided with a plurality of water outlets. The coffee press filter is integrally combined by this structure, thereby the original five spare and accessory parts are reduced to three spare and accessory parts, and the same function is achieved, a production cost may be reduced, and cleaning is easier after use.

A dispensing machine includes an injector for supplying water under pressure to a capsule housed in a housing A dispensing device closes the housing, which includes an annular sealing edge for contacting the capsule in the closed configuration.The capsule includes a casing with base and side walls defining a cavity containing a product to be added to water for obtaining a beverage. A flanged edge extends from the side wall. A covering element closes the cavity. A sealing element, associated with the flanged edge creates a fluidic seal with the sealing edge in the closed configuration. The sealing edge includes radial open grooves and radial crests which contact a sealing area of the annular body. The grooves and crests penetrate more deeply into the sealing area during dispensing, to improve the fluidic seal, when the annular body is softened by contact with injected water.
