An assembly for automatic fresh brewing of hot beverage and dispensing thereof

Abstract

This invention relates to an assembly for automatic fresh brewing of hot beverage and dispensing thereof using single serving pod. The assembly dispenses each individual serving with consistent taste and flavor, within a short time and customized to a consumer's preference. The assembly includes a water heating sub-assembly, a pod-conveyor sub-assembly for automatically conveying the pod from the chutes to the brewer sub-assembly and disposing off the used pod, a milk-input subassembly for dispensing heated milk, a brewer sub-assembly for brewing the matenal contained in pod to produce fresh hot beverage, an electronic processor, an electronic control panel with plurality of switches, a water reservoir and compressed air storage tank containing compressed air, and air solenoid valves. The assembly is capable of brewing wide vapety of brewing, infusible or other matepals including any other suitable beverage powders or matepals which can be placed in the single serving pod.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an assembly for automatically and freshly brewing and dispensing hot beverages, wherein said assembly, together with an electronic processor located therein, operates according to the electronic control instructions given by the operator on the electronic control panel Each input instruction signal related to consumer preferences (such as "thick", "light", "with milk", "without milk", etc.) can be selected on the panel, and the single serving box is automatically used in a short time Brew and dispense customized hot beverages efficiently. A wide variety of hot brewed beverages, hot water insoluble beverages or other hot beverages can be prepared using the assembly in such a way that different brewed, insoluble or other materials. Infused, insoluble or other materials that may be used in the pod include (without implying any limitation) materials such as tea, coffee, plant-derived materials such as pieces of flowers such...

Problems solved by technology

The complexity and relatively high number of moving parts of the machine lead to higher operating and maintenance costs in addition to making it more expensive to manufacture

[0011] Yet another disadvantage of the brewing machine described above is that the outflow of the brewed liquid takes place through holes in the membrane of the capsule, which are perforated by plates of pyramidal shape

[0018] Yet another disadvantage of the above device is that the metal foil at the top of the capsule is perforated by a separate injector assembly with a complex configuration, i.e. injection nozzle, injection nozzle, cam system drive motor, cam system, Eccentric cam, drive belt, roller support plate, injector frame, and several guide wheels
