  • Machine for Filtered Coffee
    Publication number: 20100269704
    Abstract: A machine for filtered coffee comprising a main body having at least a tank containing the water, at least an aperture to access at least the containing tank in order to load the water, and at least a basket, comprising a housing compartment to house members to filter the coffee. The basket is pivoted to the main body so as to be rotatably and selectively disposed between a closed position, in which the basket is comprised in the bulk of the main body, in such a manner that access to the housing compartment is prevented, and an open position, in which the basket makes access available to the housing compartment, and vice versa. The basket, in the closed position, closes the aperture, preventing access to the tank.

  • Machine for Filtered Coffee With Shutter Opening
    Publication number: 20100229731
    Abstract: A machine for filtered coffee, having an upper body, inside which a filter-carrier for the coffee and a tank for the water are housed, both accessible through a window. The machine comprises a shutter able to be moved slidingly with respect to said upper body between an open condition and a closed condition of said window and vice versa, so as to selectively allow complete frontal access to said filter-carrier and to said tank, through said window, leaving free frontal access to the filter-carrier and to the water tank. The machine further comprises a pivoting opening which opens frontally with respect to a user and allows access to said tank, when said shutter is in the open condition, for conveying water to the tank without moving said tank from the machine.

  • Pasta cooking device and method
    Patent number: 7484455
    Abstract: A pasta cooker has a base carrying a bowl having an electrical heater. A basket can move between a lower position immersed in water in the bowl and an upper position largely out of the bowl. A stirring element rotatably mounted on the basket carries a paddle projecting upward into the basket. A controller energizes the heater to bring the water in the bowl to a boil, then lowers the basket into it. The stirring element fits with a drive in the base so it can rotate and stir the water and any foodstuff in the bowl in the boiling water. After an interval preset in a timer elapses, the controller lifts the basket out of the bowl.
