Abstract: The present invention refers to a semiautonomous apparatus (1) for preparation and distribution of edible products, such as for example beverages, that presents a subsystem of preparation of edible products based upon portions (2) of edible substances, for example capsules of roasted and ground coffee for preparing coffee of the espresso type, and comprising at least one brewing device (4), and a subsystem of propulsion and locomotion (5), and further presenting a control device (8) provided so that can control said systems and so that the operation of said brewing device (4) and of said propulsion and locomotion means (5) is mutually exclusive, so that said semiautonomous apparatus (1) does not provide edible products while being moved by respective propulsion and locomotion means (5).

Abstract: A semiautonomous apparatus (1) for preparation and distribution of edible products, e.g. beverages, having a subsystem of preparation of edible products based upon portions (2) of edible substances, for example capsule of ground coffee beans for preparing expresso coffee, and comprising at least one brewing device (4), and a subsystem of propulsion and locomotion comprising propulsion and locomotion means (5). The apparatus (1) comprises a casing (3) with a generally parallelepiped, cylindrical shape, or other, that configures a top area that develops at all width and all length at the highest level of said casing (3). The top area comprises a plurality of service regions (31, 32) distributed in coherent manner in the top area of said casing (3). The first service region (31) presents first and second openings (11, 12) for introduction of portions (2) and for discharging beverage in a direction opposite to the gravity force.

Abstract: A beverage distribution system for preparation of espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, including a drinking recipient (1, 1?), for example of glass, cup, or similar type, a beverage discharge disposition (2) operatively associated with a beverage preparation device (3), whereby the beverage discharge disposition (2) is provided so that the beverage discharge flow impinges, along a direction opposite to the gravity force and with a given flow pressure, and a flow regulation mechanism (13) on the drinking recipient (1, 1?), whereby the drinking recipient (1, 1?) presents a recipient retention mechanism (17) provided so that the drinking recipients (1, 1?) can only be placed on the recipient placement support (22) in one or two previously defined angular extensions with relation to the beverage discharge disposition (2).
