Controllable brewer

A beverage maker for mixing liquid and beverage making substance to produce and dispense a beverage, the beverage maker comprising:

• a vessel having at least a portion of which is selectively attachable relative to and removable from a position on the beverage maker which is at least partially exposed and visible;
• a wall of the vessel defining at least a portion of a cavity for retaining liquid and beverage making substance during a beverage making process, the vessel having at least a first end and at least a second end spaced above and apart from the first end, at least a portion of the wall is at least semi-transparent for viewing into the cavity and observing its contents during a beverage making process;
• a controllable water delivery system communicating with the cavity;
• a filter positioned in the beverage maker between the cavity of the vessel and the dispense aperture, the filter having openings sized to provide a predetermined bubble size resulting from the flow of air through the filter;
• a controllable air moving system controllably introducing pulses of air through the filter into the cavity for at least agitating a combination of liquid and beverage making substance in the cavity during a beverage making process and for pressurizing the vessel at the end of a beverage making process;
• and
• a dispense aperture communicating with the vessel for dispensing beverage.

A beverage making apparatus comprising:

• a vessel for receiving at least a beverage making substance;
• a wall of the vessel at least partially defining a cavity of the vessel;
• a first end of the vessel;
• a second end of the vessel, spaced from the first end of the vessel;
• a controller;
• a liquid delivery system coupled to the controller and communicating with the second end for controllably delivering liquid to the vessel for combination with a beverage making substance;
• and
• an air moving system coupled to the controller and communicating with at least the cavity of the vessel for providing pulses of air for controllably positively pressurizing the cavity of the vessel for at least agitating the liquid and beverage making substance during a beverage making process and dispensing beverage from the cavity at the end of a beverage making process.
