Problems solved by technology

However, this solution has some limitations, because if the solvent in the infuser is used with a higher input flow rate or a continuous input flow rate, for example to speed up the brewing of the ingredients, then the infuser will be prone to overflow because The siphon mechanism cannot absorb such a high solvent input flow rate, resulting in a non-optimal brewing process

Embodiment approach

[0048] -according to Figure 2A In the first embodiment described in , the top of the cover element rests against the first opening O1, and the length of the inner cavity of the cover element is shorter than the length of the tube between the first opening O1 and the bottom of the infuser. In this case, as will be better understood below, the tube T also comprises at its top at least one opening close to the first opening O1 , such as a hole H1 formed in the tube wall. The opening at the top of the tube T close to the first opening O1 is such that the output flow rate Rout=Routmin through this opening should be smaller than the input flow rate Rin. This situation can be met eg via a preliminary calibration by determining the diameter of the hole H1 for the range of input flow rates Rin considered.

[0049] -according to Figure 2B In the second embodiment described in , the bottom of the cover element rests against the bottom of the infuser and includes at its bottom at leas...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus (APP) for preparing a beverage from a solvent (S) and ingredients (IG). The apparatus comprises: a container (CO) for containing the solvent; an infuser (IF) for containing the ingredients, and the infuser being placed in the container (CO); a system (SYS) for carrying the solvent from the container (CO) into the infuser (IF) at a given flow rate (Rin); an arrangement (AR) for carrying the solvent from the infuser (IF) into the container (CO), and for regulating the output flow rate (Rout) of the solvent to an average value corresponding to the given input inflow rate (Rin). The apparatus allows the amount of solvent inside the infuser to remain constant in order to guarantee optimal brewing of the ingredients.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for brewing ingredients in a solvent. [0002] For example, the invention may be used in the field of beverage preparation. Background technique [0003] It is very popular to make beverages by brewing (raw) components in a solvent. For example, tea is made by brewing (ie steeping) tea leaves used as ingredients in hot / boiling water used as a solvent. The same process can be used when making beverages from different ingredients, such as various herbs, plant leaves or plant roots. [0004] After a given period, the components are removed from the solvent and the resulting solvent is equal to the prepared beverage. These beverages are usually prepared using specialized household appliances, such as tea makers. [0005] In order to simplify the use by the end user of these appliances concerning the time the components should be allowed to soak in the solvent, some solutions have been proposed. For example, pu...
