METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING BEVERAGES

摘要

An apparatus for preparing a coffee beverage comprises a containing element for heating an extracting fluid, a transferring arrangement for causing the fluid to pass through a dose of coffee and an inhibiting arrangement arranged for inhibiting the passing through when the fluid contains a substantial steam phase, the inhibiting arrangement comprising a pressure-adjusting arrangement arranged for adjusting a pressure of the fluid inside the containing element and distinct from an overpressure adjusting arrangement comprised in the apparatus; a method for obtaining a coffee beverage comprises heating an extracting fluid of the beverage to induce the fluid to pass through a dose of coffee, inhibiting the passing through when the fluid contains a substantial steam phase and suitably adjusting a pressure of the extracting fluid before the passing through, the adjusting being obtained through a pressure-adjusting arrangement distinct from an overpressure adjusting arrangement.
