Abstract: A coffeemaker composed of: a plurality of infusion heads that can each receive a predetermined quantity of a product to be infused; a common hydraulic circuit including, connected in series: a water reservoir; a flow meter for measuring the rate of flow of water from said reservoir; a pump; a heater; and a plurality of parallel outlet tubes each connected to an outlet of the heater, the heater and the pump being operative to deliver water from the reservoir to the heater through the flow meter; a control unit connected to the flow meter and the pump being for controlling the operation of the coffeemaker; and distribution devices connected in series with each of the outlet tubes and connected to be controlled by the control unit for delivering water or steam to each of infusion head as a function of signals received from the flow meter.

Abstract: A process and machine for preparing an infused beverage in which a pump conveys infusion water from a reservoir, through a heater and then through a packet containing a product to be infused. The beverage is prepared by a first step of placing the pump in operation, when the heater has reached a first assigned temperature, in order to deliver to the packet a first quantity of hot water for infusion, and at least one operating sequence of halting operation of the pump and generating, in the heater while the pump is halted, steam that passes through the packet, then bringing the heater to a second assigned temperature and restarting the pump in order to deliver a second quantity of infusion water once the heater has reached the second assigned temperature.
