Abstract: A hot beverage making device includes a boiler for heating water; a housing for accommodating the boiler and connecting element for connecting the boiler to the housing. During operation of the boiler, water is heated and water vapor bubbles are created inside the boiler. Formation of the bubbles causes varying moments about the center of mass of the boiler. The connecting element is adapted to prevent transmittal to the housing of at least a portion of the moment variations. This keeps the noise produced as a result of vibrations of the housing at an acceptable level. In particular, the connecting element is adapted to let the boiler have at least one rotational degree of freedom.

Abstract: A hot beverage making device comprises a boiler (10) for heating water; a housing (20) for accommodating the boiler (10) and other components of the device; and connecting means (30) for connecting the boiler (10) to the housing (20). During operation of the boiler (10), water is heated and water vapor bubbles are created inside the boiler (10). The formation of the bubbles causes varying moments about the center of mass of the boiler (10). The connecting means (30) are adapted to preventing transmittal to the housing (20) of at least a portion of the moment variations, in order to keep the noise produced as a result of vibrations of the housing (20) at an acceptable level. In particular, the connecting means (30) are adapted to let the boiler (10) have at least one rotational degree of freedom.
