Problems solved by technology

In addition, known pressurized systems can be very noisy due to the use of mechanical liquid or air pumps
Mechanical fluid or air pumps are also relatively expensive components which affect the manufacturing cost and complexity and reliability of the kitchen appliance
Finally, liquid and air pumps can push water too quickly through poorly soluble materials

Abstract

A kitchen appliance includes a first reservoir for receiving a liquid to be used for preparing a beverage and a hot water generator (HWG) which has an inlet end, an outlet end and a passageway therebetween. The inlet end of the HWG is connected to the first reservoir. Liquid from the first reservoir flows into the HWG through the inlet end. A second reservoir is connected to the outlet end of the HWG. The second reservoir includes a discharge port. A fluid path connects the first and second reservoirs and bypasses the HWG. The kitchen appliance is operable for both pressurized brew / heat cycles and un-pressurized brew / heat cycles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to kitchen appliances for preparing beverages. The kitchen appliance can be operated as a pressurized brewing system or as an automatic drip brewing system operating at ambient pressure. Background technique [0002] Kitchen appliances for preparing beverages are known. However, conventional devices have a number of disadvantages. For example, traditional devices typically use pressurized systems (such as espresso machines, cartridge brewers, etc.) or unpressurized / ambient systems (eg, filters, automatic drip coffee makers, etc.) that utilize mechanical air or liquid pumps. No machines are known that operate under both pressurized (closed) and ambient (open) conditions during different brewing or heating cycles. Furthermore, known pressurized systems can be very noisy due to the use of mechanical liquid or air pumps. Mechanical fluid or air pumps are also relatively expensive components, which affect manufac...
