Beverage brewing machine

An automatic beverage preparation machine comprising:

• a brewing assembly with a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a brewing material inlet;
• a brewing material supply device in communication with the brewing material inlet of the brewing assembly to supply the latter with a brewing material dose at a beginning of each beverage production cycle;
• a water supply means in fluid communication with the fluid inlet of the brewing assembly to supply the latter with a metered amount of water required to produce a beverage;
• a beverage dispensing nozzle in fluid communication with the fluid outlet of the brewing assembly;
• a brewing process repeating means designed to cause the beverage to flow one or more times through the brewing material dose in the brewing assembly before being dispensed into a collection receptacle the brewing process repeating means including a beverage flow reversing means designed to reverse the beverage flow through the brewing assembly without recirculation out of the brewing assembly, the beverage flow reversing means having a pump arranged between the fluid outlet of the brewing assembly and the beverage dispensing nozzle;
• and an electronic control unit configured to control the pump to cause the beverage to flow through the brewing material dose from the fluid outlet to the fluid inlet of the brewing assembly and vice versa so as to result in a two-way brewing process without recirculating the beverage out of the brewing assembly.
