  • Publication number: 20220104650
    Abstract: Coffee makers with features for rapid and/or multiple extraction processes, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed. A representative method for brewing coffee includes placing ground coffee on a filter element of a brew chamber, directing heated water into the brew chamber and in contact with the ground coffee and, during a first phase, brewing coffee in the brew chamber without subjecting the coffee to a pressure differential of at least 150 torr between the brew chamber and a coffee chamber to which the brew chamber is coupled, the coffee chamber having a capacity of 200 mL or more. The representative method further includes, during a second phase, extracting the coffee from the brew chamber through the filter element and into the coffee chamber via a pressure differential of at least 150 torr between the brew chamber and the coffee chamber.

  • Publication number: 20170367526
    Abstract: Coffee makers with features for rapid and/or multiple extraction processes, and associated systems and methods. A representative system includes a brew chamber, a coffee chamber, a filter device, and an accelerated extraction device configured to accelerate a flow of coffee from the brew chamber to the coffee chamber. During a first brewing process, a controller directs a first volume of hot water into the brew chamber to form a first a volume of coffee for delivery from the brew chamber into the coffee chamber. During a second brewing process, the controller directs a second volume of hot water into the brew to form a second volume of coffee for delivery into the coffee chamber to mix with the first volume of coffee. The controller activates the accelerated extraction device to move at least one of the first and second volumes of coffee.
