CONTROLLABLE BREWER

摘要

The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods of use for producing beverages. The apparatus includes components and methods for facilitating beverage production applying water or other liquid in combination with a brewing substance and controlled aeration and pressurization of a mixing vessel or column. The aeration of the water and brewing substance can be accomplished with a vacuum system, a positive pressurization system, and a combination of such systems. The apparatus, systems, and methods can be used with a variety of beverage making devices such as a device which might be used to controllably produce volumes of beverage to a reservoir. The methods include controllable aeration and pressurization of the vessel for brewing which may include controlling extraction time, steep time, active controllable agitation of the brewing substance, as well as other brewing characteristics, features, and actions.

主权项

1. A method of making a beverage including the steps of:
providing a vessel at least partially defining a cavity for receiving liquid and beverage making substance; combining liquid and beverage making substance in the cavity; providing a controllable pressurizing system communicating with at least the cavity of the vessel; and controlling the pressure of the atmosphere in the cavity of the vessel for at least agitating a combination of liquid and beverage making substance in the cavity during a beverage making process.
