  • Patent number: 11600131
    Abstract: The method for product selection comprises the steps of selecting a product among a plurality of options of different products, said selection being carried out by remotely signaling a label that represents the selected product; checking that no other selection has been detected; checking that the detected selection lasts longer than a predetermined period of time or more than a predetermined electromagnetic field strength; and dispensing the selected product if it has been verified that no other selection has been detected and if it has been verified that the selection lasts longer than said predetermined period of time and less than the predetermined electromagnetic field strength, or canceling the selection of the product if another selection has been detected or the detected selection lasts less than said predetermined period of time or is greater than the predetermined electromagnetic field strength.

  • Publication number: 20230055252
    Abstract: The system for foaming milk comprises a container (2) for milk; an air inlet (3); a pump (4), wherein liquid milk is mixed with the air in order to produce foamed milk; and an outlet (6), wherein foamed milk is supplied, wherein the container is a container for powdered milk, and wherein the system for foaming milk further comprises a tank (8) for water and a premixing chamber (9). In the method for foaming milk, the milk is provided as powdered milk and is premixed with water in order to provide liquid milk which is mixed with the air in order to produce foamed milk. It enables a system and method for foaming milk to be provided which achieves the foaming of the milk with a “gel” effect from dehydrated powdered milk, the durability of which is much greater than liquid milk.

  • Publication number: 20200305633
    Abstract: The method comprises the steps of loading ground coffee in a dispensing chamber; pressing said ground coffee present in the dispensing chamber by means of a piston (1) for the compaction thereof; dispensing the ground coffee; supplying the brewed coffee to a user; and determining if the position of the piston (1) varies depending on the amount of ground coffee that is loaded in said dispensing chamber. The machine comprises a dispensing chamber in which the ground coffee is loaded and in which said ground coffee is distributed; a piston (1) which presses the ground coffee in said dispensing chamber for the compaction thereof; and a motor (2) which actuates the movement of said piston (1) a predetermined distance after the dispensing if it is determined that the amount of ground coffee present in the dispensing chamber is greater than a predetermined minimum amount.
