However, these are generally no faster than the above-mentioned cold brew methods, and both also require consumers to purchase them in addition to the coffee machines they already have, which then take up space in the kitchen
If these stand-alone machines include means to speed up brewing (for example, by agitation), they are often complicated and result in unsatisfactory flavors
[0004] Production of nitrogenated and / or carbonated coffee, especially nitrogenated and / or carbonated cold brew coffee is also popular, but it is currently not convenient to make it at home

Embodiment Construction
[0041] figure 1 A coffee machine 10 capable of cold brew coffee is shown. The machine 10 includes a water reservoir 11 which can be filled manually or connected to mains water and filled automatically. The water reservoir 11 is connected by a pipe 12 to a heating and / or cooling element 13 . Driven by gravity, with the help of a pump, or under the pressure of tap water, water can flow from the reservoir 11 to the heating and / or cooling elements and brewing chamber 15 .
[0042] Conduit 12 (and all other conduits disclosed herein) may be closed by automatically actuated valves at one or both ends to control the flow of water or other material through that end. All valves / gates can be automatically controlled by the controller CPU 30 .
[0043] Once the desired water temperature is reached, heated / cooled / room temperature water can flow from the heating and / or cooling element 13 through the conduit 14 to the brewing chamber 15 to brew ground coffee located in the brewing chambe...

Abstract
An apparatus for providing an infused or brewed beverage comprises a brewing arrangement which is configured to brew a beverage according to a selected one of a plurality of brewing processes, at least one being a hot brewing processes and at least one being a cold brewing process. The apparatus includes a controller configured to receive a user selection indicative of a required beverage, and tocontrol the brewing arrangement in dependence upon the user selection. The apparatus may for example be used to provide either hot brew or cold brew coffee as required, without the need for multiple machines.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a coffee maker or other machine for steeping / brewing a substance by extraction of a solute from a solid matrix or by steeping, also commonly referred to herein as "brewing". Background technique [0002] Cold brew — that is, brewing coffee grounds by dipping them in unheated or even frozen water — has become more popular in recent years because coffee brewed this way is less bitter. One of the downsides of cold brew is that it takes more time to brew coffee to have the taste and flavor consumers typically prefer. Especially after freezing, brewing can take up to 72 hours. Additionally, current cold brew methods are generally suitable for high-volume commercial cold brew manufacture for sale in stores or markets, and are not suitable for brewing at home. [0003] Various stand-alone machines have been proposed for cold brewing at home. However, these are generally no faster than the above-mentioned cold brew methods, ...
