Embodiment Construction

[0078] refer to figure 1 , the tea making appliance 2 comprises a water heating chamber 4 and an infusion chamber 6 installed in its top opening. The water heating chamber 4 is preferably made of a transparent or translucent material such as glass. The soaking chamber 6 is made of metal and / or heat-resistant plastic mesh. The infusion chamber 6 is provided with a lip 8 surrounding its upper edge to allow it to sit within the neck of the heating chamber 4 .

[0079] The water heating chamber 4 is provided with a handle 10 to facilitate pouring beverages therefrom. The body of the chamber 4 is also formed with a pouring lip or spout.

[0080] The water heating chamber 4 has a heating base 12 mounted to close an opening in the base of the liquid heating chamber 4 . The heating base 12 is an underboard heater comprising the applicant's standard-form Sure Seal stainless steel base plate 14, as described in more detail in WO 96 / 18331, the base plate 14 being circular and A peri...

Abstract

An electric infusion beverage maker (2) comprises a liquid heating chamber (4) having electric heating means (12) associated therewith for heating liquid in the chamber (4). An infusion chamber (6) receives in use a beverage to be infused. A pump (30) transfers heated liquid from the liquid heating chamber (4) to the infusion chamber (6) at a transfer rate. The infusion chamber (6) has outlet means (38) arranged such that beverage-infused liquid drains out of the infusion chamber (6) and into the liquid heating chamber (4) at a drainage rate which is lower than the transfer rate. This means that liquid cannot pass straight through the infusion chamber (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electric infusion beverage makers, particularly but not exclusively electric tea makers. Background technique [0002] The traditional way of making tea is to place tea leaves or tea bags in a teapot, boil water in a separate chamber such as a kettle, and then pour the boiled water over the tea in the kettle. The tea beverage is left to steep for a certain amount of time before being poured out of the jug (possibly through a strainer if loose leaves are used). The steeping process can be accelerated by stirring the drink, but this requires human intervention. [0003] Many different electric tea and coffee makers have been proposed. In some, the soaking chamber is mounted on top of the electrically heated water chamber, and pipes are used to connect them. As the water in the lower chamber is heated to a boil, pressure buildup forces the water up the tube and into contact with the beverage solids, such as coffee groun...
