  • Patent number: 12721467
    Abstract: A machine is described, for producing and delivering coffee-based beverages comprising: a heating boiler (1); a delivering assembly (3) comprising a solenoid valve (8) and second means for heating (7) and controlling (4) the water temperature; a filter-holder (5) removably connectable to the delivering assembly (3), comprising a filter (6) in which the powder of ground coffee is pressed; a hydraulic pump (2) for delivering water from the delivering assembly (3) through the powder of ground coffee, and connected to the heating boiler (1) and to the delivering assembly (3); a first pressure sensor (21) to detect the water delivery pressure and regulate the flow-rate of water depending on the pressure value detected by a second pressure sensor (26) arranged next to the solenoid valve (8) to measure the counter-pressure exerted by the powder of ground coffee.
