(canceled)
A beverage brewing system, comprising:
- a housing comprising a brew basket and a lid having at least one fluid input therein;
- a cavity associated with the housing and configured to contain at least one flavorant;
- and
- a plurality of needles fluidically coupled to the at least one fluid input and insertable into the cavity responsive to sealing the brew basket with the lid, wherein each of the plurality of needles has a spray pattern associated therewith, the plurality of needles being positioned such that a first spray pattern associated with a first needle of the plurality of needles overlaps a second spray pattern associated with a second needle of the plurality of needles.
An adapter for a beverage brewing system, comprising:
- a housing configured to be received within a brew basket of a beverage brewing machine, the housing comprising a lid pivotable from an open position to a closed position relative to an open end of the brew basket so as to seal the open end of the brew basket;
- a cavity associated with the housing and configured to contain at least one flavorant;
- and
- a plurality of needles received within the cavity responsive to pivoting the lid to the closed position, wherein each of the plurality of needles has a spray pattern associated therewith and the spray pattern associated with at least one of the plurality of needles is uniform in dimension with at least a second spray pattern.
A beverage brewing system, comprising:
- a housing including a reservoir, a plurality of fluid supply lines fluidically coupled to the reservoir, and a first brew basket, wherein a first fluid supply line supplies a first fluid to the first brew basket;
- an adapter positioned in the first brew basket and configured to receive a cartridge containing at least one flavorant in a cavity of the adapter, the adapter including at least one lid comprising a second fluid supply line separate from the first supply line and configured to supply a second fluid to the cavity;
- and
- a plurality of needles positioned at an outlet end of the second fluid supply line and opposite an opening of the cavity, wherein each of the plurality of needles has a spray pattern associated therewith and a geometry of each of the plurality of needles is identical.
