Abstract: An automatic coffeemaker having, at the interior of a housing: an infusion group that includes an infusion chamber arranged to receive a pressing piston and means for actuating a relative sliding movement, between the pressing piston and the infusion chamber, between a rest position in which the piston is outside of the infusion chamber and a working position in which the piston is inside the infusion chamber; and a ground coffee distributor having a distribution orifice that communicates with a chute arranged to channel ground coffee toward the infusion chamber, wherein a drawer for collecting ground coffee grains is disposed under the chute and covers the periphery of the infusion chamber, the drawer being mounted in a manner to allow it to be directly withdrawn from the machine.

Abstract: A pourer container includes a body (2) including a pouring member (9), an opening (4) and defining a chamber (3), a lid (5) including an inner check valve (40) and a conduit (24) communicating the chamber with the pourer member, the check valve being mobile between a closed position wherein it closes the conduit and an open position wherein it allows communication through the conduit and a pouring control (30) connected to the valve through an actuating mechanism adapted to place the check valve in open position when the pouring control is actuated. The lid (5) further includes a pouring indicator (31) connected to the pouring control and mobile between a closing position and an opening position wherein it projects outside the container upon actuation of the pouring control. A brewing appliance including such a container is also disclosed.

Abstract: An infusing apparatus comprises a collecting spout capable of being fixed under the outlet aperture of an infusing chamber. The spout has a lid provided with an opening through which the infusion penetrates, and an obstructer of the opening for in particular keeping the infusion at an optimal temperature. Elements for actuating the obstructer are further provided for automatically releasing the opening by the action of a stop integral with the apparatus, when the spout is being fixed on the outlet aperture. The actuating elements are also capable of being manually controlled for releasing the opening and allowing the infusion collected in the spout to be extracted through the opening. The invention is useful for household electrical coffee-pots or teapots.
