Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a first module, the first module including a first receptacle and a second receptacle, the first receptacle configured to contain a liquid and a second receptacle configured to contain coffee beans, the first module further including a heating arrangement, the heating arrangement being at least partially positioned between the first receptacle and the second receptacle;
- and
- a second module, the second module being configured to support the first module and to provide power to the heating arrangement when the first module is supported on the second module.
A modular espresso brewing system comprising:
- a brewing module, the brewing module including a liquid chamber and a coffee bean receptacle, the liquid chamber being arranged to contain a liquid and the coffee bean receptacle being arranged to contain ground coffee beans, wherein the brewing module includes a heating arrangement configured to heat the liquid, the heating arrangement being at least partially arranged between the liquid chamber and the coffee bean receptacle to heat the liquid as the liquid flows from the liquid chamber into the coffee bean receptacle;
- and
- a base module, the base module being configured to support the brewing module and to provide power to the heating arrangement when the brewing module is supported on the base module.
A brewing apparatus comprising:
- a liquid chamber arranged to contain a liquid;
- a bean reservoir arranged to contain coffee beans;
- a pressure arrangement, the pressure arrangement including a piston, the piston being arranged to be extended through the liquid chamber to apply a pressure to push the liquid out of the liquid chamber and through the bean reservoir;
- a heating coil arranged between the liquid chamber and the bean reservoir, wherein the heating coil is configured to heat the liquid as the liquid is pushed from the liquid chamber through the bean reservoir by the piston;
- and
- a temperature sensor, the temperature sensor arranged between the heating coil and the bean reservoir, wherein the temperature sensor measures a temperature of the liquid.
