Abstract
An appliance for making beverages comprises a container for liquid, means for creating a rotational movement of the liquid to raise a level of the liquid, and a brewing chamber mounted between a normal level of the liquid, when the means for creating a rotational movement is not rotating, and a raised level of the liquid, when the means for creating a rotational movement is rotating, so that the liquid flows into the brewing chamber when the means for creating a rotational movement is rotating above a predetermined speed.
Claims19
An appliance for making beverages, comprising:
- a container for containing a liquid, the container having a heated base for heating the liquid;
- a rotator for creating a rotational movement of the liquid in the container so as to raise a level of the liquid at an outer portion of the container;
- and
- a brewing chamber secured in a top portion of the container above a first level, so that the liquid flows into the brewing chamber when the rotator is rotating above a predetermined speed so as to raise the liquid above the first level;
- wherein the brewing chamber includes a floor and a sidewall, and has an opening positioned in the sidewall at said outer portion facing in a horizontal, substantially circumferential direction towards the direction of rotational movement of the liquid to allow the liquid to flow into the brewing chamber, and comprises perforations to allow the liquid to flow out of the brewing chamber.
