Coffee making apparatus for making coffee using heated and unheated water

A coffee making apparatus comprising:

• a chassis;
• an extractor vessel for accepting around coffee and permitting water to pass through said ground coffee and out of said extractor vessel, said extractor vessel being disposed in said chassis;
• a decanter, removably disposed in said chassis, for accepting water passed through said extractor vessel and storing water to be passed through said extractor vessel;
• a pump and conduit assembly communicating with a lower volume of said decanter and having an outlet to said extractor vessel for transporting water stored in said decanter into said extractor vessel;
• a circulating water heater, in said pump and conduit assembly, for heating water transported by said pump and conduit assembly;
• selection means for permitting an operator to select an ice coffee mode and a hot coffee mode:
• and a controller, responsive to said selection means, for controlling said pump and conduit assembly and said circulating water heater wherein:
• in response to said operator selecting said ice coffee mode, said controller controls said pump and conduit assembly and said circulating water heater to circulate said water from said decanter to said extractor vessel with said circulating water heater operating to heat said water during a duration of a first time period and to circulate said water from said decanter to said extractor vessel with said circulating water heater not operating during a duration of a second time period following said first time period;
• and
• in response to said operator selecting said hot coffee mode, said controller controls said pump and conduit assembly and said circulating water heater to circulate said water from said decanter to said extractor vessel with said circulating water heater operating to heat said water during a duration of a third time period.

A coffee making apparatus comprising:

• a chassis;
• an extractor vessel for accepting ground coffee and permitting water to pass through said ground coffee and out of said extractor vessel, said extractor vessel being disposed in said chassis;
• a tank, disposed in said chassis, for accepting water passed through said extractor vessel and storing water to be passed through said extractor vessel;
• a serving conduit and valve assembly connected to said tank for dispensing said water passed through said extractor vessel from said tank;
• a pump and conduit assembly communicating with a lower volume of said tank and having an outlet to said extractor vessel for transporting water stored in said tank into said extractor vessel;
• a circulating water heater, in said pump and conduit assembly, for heating water transported by said pump and conduit assembly;
• and
• a controller for controlling said pump and conduit assembly and said circulating water heater to circulate said water from said tank to said extractor vessel with said circulating water heater operating to heat said water during a duration of a first time period corresponding to a heated water operation mode and to circulate said water from said tank to said extractor vessel with said circulating water heater not operating during a duration of a second time period, following said first time period, corresponding to an unheated water operation mode.

A coffee making extracting apparatus comprising:

• a chassis;
• a roasting and milling means, disposed in said chassis, for milling and roasting coffee beans including a coffee bean roasting device, a pulverizing device for receiving and pulverizing roasted coffee beans from said roasting device into pulverized coffee beans, and a pulverized coffee bean outlet for receiving said pulverized coffee beans from said pulverizing device;
• a first coffee making means, disposed in said chassis, for making coffee by passing heated water and then unheated water through pulverized coffee beans;
• a second coffee making means, disposed in said chassis, for making coffee by passing heated water through pulverized coffee beans;
• and
• said roasting and milling means being interposed between said first coffee making means and said second coffee making means.
