Beverage infusion system

A beverage infusion system comprising:

• an infusion chamber configured to hold an infusing material and to allow a beverage to flow through the infusion chamber past the infusing material such that the beverage is infused by the infusing material, wherein the infusion chamber is formed by:
• an outer housing having a first end and a second end and openings formed at each end,
• a first enclosure member configured to removably mount to the first end of the outer housing and to cover the opening located at the first end of the outer housing, and
• a second enclosure member configured to removably mount to the second end of the outer housing and to cover the opening located at the second end of the outer housing;
• a beverage inlet in fluid communication with the infusion chamber for carrying the beverage to the infusion chamber;
• a beverage outlet in fluid communication with the infusion chamber for carrying the beverage to away from the infusion chamber;
• a heat transfer probe inside the infusion chamber and positioned such that the beverage entering the infusion chamber via the beverage inlet and exiting via the beverage outlet flows past the heat transfer probe;
• a coolant path operable for carrying a coolant through the heat transfer probe,
• wherein, when the coolant is at a lower temperature than the beverage flowing through the infusion chamber, heat is carried away from the beverage and is transferred through the coolant probe to the coolant as the beverage flows past the coolant probe,
• wherein the infusion chamber maintains pressure of the beverage passing through it, such that the pressure of the beverage at the beverage outlet is substantially equal to the pressure of the beverage at the beverage inlet, and
• wherein the beverage infusion system further comprising a first filter configured to removably mount between the first enclosure member and the outer housing, such that the first filter covers the opening located at the first end of the outer housing and is positioned between the beverage inlet and the infusion chamber.
