A main passage and a branched passage are disposed in the brewing frame. A brewing basket is disposed on the brewing frame. The brewing frame is provided with a guide rod located above the brewing basket. The guide rod is provided with a guide cavity communicated with the branched passage, and a water outlet of the guide cavity is exactly opposite to a pipe outlet of the main passage. A water pump is disposed in the device body and is provided with a water inlet disposed in the brewing container and a water outlet communicated with the main passage via a drain joint.

A beverage brewer includes a pump, intake tube and outflow tubes, a brewing material holder, and a container. The intake tube is connected to an inlet port of the pump. The outflow tube is connected to an outlet port of the pump. The brewing material holder is configured to hold brewing material at an issue end of the outflow tube. The container is arranged at an issue portion of the brewing material holder. A suction end of the intake tube is arranged for fluid communication with an interior of the container. The pump is configured to draw fluid from within the container through the intake tube and to issue the fluid into the brewing material holder through the outflow tube, to brew a beverage in the brewing material holder and issue the brewed beverage into the container. At least a portion of the intake tube is attached to the container.

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.

An infused beverage making apparatus has an affixed or remotely disposed control interface and a processor. The processor receives inputs from the user control interface and measurements from a plurality of sensors and controls various infused beverage qualities according thereto.

An automated drip beverage maker includes a base having a platform, a vertical arm extending upwardly from the base, and a head extending generally horizontally from an upper end of the arm. The platform includes a heating element electrically connected to a power source. The base further includes a reservoir and a conduit fluidly connected to the reservoir, the conduit being routed adjacent the heating element. The automated drip beverage maker further comprises a brew basket assembly pivotally attached to the head. The brew basket assembly includes a brew basket and the brew basket assembly is movable between a brewing position, in which the brew basket is directly beneath the head and located to receive fluid from the conduit, and an access position, in which the brew basket is pivoted to a position beside the head to enable access to the brew basket. The brew basket assembly further comprises an integrated display panel electrically connected with the heating element.

A cordless coffee making device for brewing coffee without accessing a power grid includes a housing having a reservoir, for addition of water, a brewing compartment, for addition of a carafe and a basket that contains coffee grounds, and a power compartment. A pipe is attached to and extends between a bottom of the reservoir and an upper end of the brewing compartment. A heater is positioned in-line with the pipe is operationally engaged to a switch. A first connector in the power compartment is engaged to the switch and is complementary to a second connector of a battery that can selectively power a plurality of implements, wherein each implement comprises a first connector. The battery is attached by engaging the second connector to the first connector. The switch actuates the heater so that hot water flows through the pipe into the basket, causing coffee to collect in the carafe.
