METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEVERAGE CARAFE DETECTION

摘要

A beverage forming method and system (100) in which a carafe (2) with an associated magnetic element (39) is positionable at a carafe receiving area (12). One of a protrusion (30) and a first recess (32) is associated with the carafe (2) and the other of the protrusion and the first recess is associated with a housing (17). The housing (17) includes a detector (13) arranged to detect the presence of the magnetic element (39) when the protrusion (30) is inserted into the first recess (32). Beverage formation of an amount greater than a threshold volume is enabled when the detector detects the magnetic element.
