Abstract: An apparatus for making espresso coffee has at least one delivery unit, a hydraulic circuit connected to the delivery unit, and a driving device having a lever movable between a first position and a second position. The delivery unit has a first cylinder with a piston slidably mounted therein and at least one braking device having a second cylinder. The second cylinder is connected to a circuit independent of the first cylinder. The movement of the first cylinder charges water and discharges water from the first cylinder.

Abstract: Machine for making espresso coffee of the type provided with at least one delivery unit and with a driving device provided with a lever, which is movable from a first lever position to a second lever position, wherein the delivery unit has at least one braking device.

Abstract: A method for the production of drinks, particularly coffee, even more particularly “American type coffee” or filter coffee by means of a machine and a capsule containing a proportion of preparation for drink is disclosed. The method includes the phases of heating a liquid for the preparation of drinks, putting under pressure the liquid within a boiler, feeding the liquid to the capsule with crossing of the capsule, taking the liquid after this phase of crossing of the capsule. The method also includes an infusion and remixing phase of the liquid with the preparation for drink within the capsule, which occurs within a housing partially filled up with the preparation for drink according to a filling factor in the range from 35 to 90%, preferably in the range from 40 to 85%, even more preferably in the range from 45 to 75%.

Abstract: A machine for the preparation of drinks in capsules, particularly coffee, more particularly “Americano type coffee” or filter coffee or filtered coffee, of the type includes a boiler with a resistance for heating a liquid for the preparation of drinks, a pump for putting under pressure the liquid for the preparation of drinks, a hydraulic group for the feed of the liquid from the boiler through the capsule containing a portion of preparation for drinks with formation of the drink, and conveying means of the drink from the capsule to a collection container in which the hydraulic group includes a distribution valve blocking the distribution of the liquid for the preparation of drinks until a second operating threshold value is exceeded by the hydraulic pressure applied by the liquid for the preparation of drinks, this second operating threshold value being between 4 and 10 bar, preferably 4 and 6 bar.

Abstract: Machine, capsule, method for the preparation of drinks, particularly coffee, even more particularly “Americano type coffee” or filter coffee or filtered coffee in which the capsule is shaped with an essentially cylindrical form with a mouth, this capsule containing a predefined proportion of preparation for drink according to a filling factor in the range from 35 to 90%, preferably in the range from 40 to 85%, even more preferably in the range from 45 to 75%.
