Brewing apparatus

摘要

The brewing apparatus includes a vertically movable cylinder with an open top and bottom, a piston mounted for reciprocation down into such cylinder and a heated liquid supply discharging brewing liquid into the open top of the cylinder. A brewing cavity is horizontally reciprocable beneath the cylinder between a brewing position and a rest position. A ground beverage material supply delivers material into the brewing cavity when the cavity is disposed at a material supplying position located intermediate the brewing position and the rest position. A second heated liquid supply discharges liquid into the brewing cavity while the cavity is disposed at the material supplying position with an electromagnetic valve controlling the second liquid supply operation. The reciprocably mounted piston may be provided with an air pressure release to release compressed air from within the vertically movable cylinder. A drain structure disposed beneath the open bottom of the cylinder for collecting and delivering the brewing liquid to a cup has a funnel element placed beneath the open bottom of the drain structure to prevent scattering of brewing liquid.
