The invention relates to a method of and an apparatus (10) for, preparing a beverage from a solvent (11) and ingredients (12). The apparatus comprises a container (13) for containing the solvent, an infuser (14) for containing the ingredients, and a pumping system (15) for carrying solvent from the container to the infuser. The infuser (14) is arranged so as to assume: -a first position (P1) allowing the solvent carried to the infuser by the pumping system to circulate inside the infuser containing the ingredients, and allowing the solvent circulating inside the infuser to be subsequently carried back into the container, and -a second position (P2) allowing the solvent carried to the infuser by the pumping system to circulate outside the infuser containing the ingredients, and allowing the solvent circulating outside the infuser to be subsequently carried outside the container. This apparatus allows preparing a beverage from a solvent and ingredients by brewing the ingredients in the solvent and, subsequently, dispensing the prepared beverage without any complex manual user action having to be performed on the apparatus used to prepare the beverage. |
