The apparatus (100) includes a heating unit (160), electronic controller (140), and sensing devices (150, 180). A water tank (110) supplies the heating unit (160) via a water pump (120) controlled by the controller (140) that also controls the heating unit. Feedback control loops provide control data to the controller (140) to optimize liquid temperatures for a given beverage type in accordance with predetermined profiles.</p> |
