Abstract: A beverage making device comprising a brewing chamber for enclosing a pad containing a substance from which the beverage is brewed. A water supply conduit is present between pumping means and the brewing chamber. The brewing chamber has an outlet having an orifice through which the brewed beverage can leave the brewing chamber. A portion of the wall of the brewing chamber is stationary and the other portion of the wall can move away from the stationary part in order to open the brewing chamber. Means (1) are present for releasing pressure from the brewing chamber after the water supply to the brewing chamber has been terminated.

Abstract: A beverage maker has a removable beverage preparation assembly (4) that includes beverage collection unit, which in this example is a foam unit (30). The foam unit (30) is positioned below a nozzle for discharging prepared beverage and comprises a receptacle divided into several foam compartments (31). The foam unit (30) can be rotated about an axis A so that each of the foam compartments can be positioned under the nozzle (25). In use, beverage is dispensed by the nozzle (25) as a jet of liquid that impacts a surface of one of the foam compartments to produce foam. The beverage is then dispensed from the foam compartment the through an opening (32) and along an outlet (33) into a cup for drinking. Subsequent beverages can be prepared using different foam compartments (31).

Abstract: A coffee maker with a water reservoir (4) provided with a filling opening (41) and a reservoir outlet (11); a heater-pump (12) for heating and supplying water with an inlet (14) which is connected to said reservoir outlet (11) and with an outlet (15); a filter holder (5) with a filter inlet (51) connected to said heater-pump (12) and a filter outlet (52), which filter holder has an upper portion (54) having a larger horizontal cross-sectional surface area than a lower portion (55) thereof; and at least in the operating condition, a coffee jug (9) under said filter holder (5), which coffee jug has an inflow opening for brewed coffee downstream of said filter outlet (52), wherein at least a portion of the water reservoir (4) is located next to the filter holder (5); the portion of the water reservoir (4) located next to said filter holder (5) at a level of said lower portion (55) of said filter holder extending to below said upper portion (54) of said filter holder.
