Abstract
A mechanism for a brewing machine includes a fluid reservoir, a first receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir, a second receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir, a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the first receptacle. The second channel is configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the second receptacle.
Claims14
A mechanism for a brewing machine, the mechanism comprising:
- a fluid reservoir;
- a first receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir;
- a second receptacle downstream from the fluid reservoir;
- a first channel configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the first receptacle;
- a second channel configured and adapted to provide a fluid from the fluid reservoir to the second receptacle;
- a first pump coupled to the first channel for independently controlling fluid flow through the first channel;
- a second pump operatively coupled to the second channel for independently controlling fluid flow through the second channel;
- a first heating element located in the first channel and configured to heat fluid flowing through the first channel;
- and
- a second heating element located in the second channel and configured to heat fluid flowing through the second channel.
