  • Publication number: 20070017382
    Abstract: A beverage maker including an extract liquid receptacle 52A for storing therein extract liquid extracted by beverage extraction means 50, and a cooling reservoir 52B for accommodating therein cooling liquid that contact the extract liquid with the walls of that extract liquid receptacle 52A in between, so that the extract liquid is cooled by the cooling reservoir 52B; wherein the extract liquid receptacle 52A and cooling reservoir 52B are integrated to form a cooling unit 52, a cooling material is sealed in the cooling reservoir 52B, so that the entire cooling unit 52 is cooled.

  • Publication number: 20070017381
    Abstract: A beverage maker including an extract liquid receptacle 52A, which is for storing therein extract liquid extracted by beverage extraction section 50 and 76, and a cooling reservoir 52B, which is for accommodating therein cooling material that contacts the extract liquid with the tank wall of the extract liquid receptacle 52A in between, so that the extract liquid is cooled by the cooling reservoir 52B; and in this beverage maker, the cooling material is a combination of a sealed body 53, in which a cooling agent is sealed, and a fluid material (such as water); and this sealed body 53 is cooled and repeatedly used by itself separately from the fluid material.

  • Publication number: 20070017377
    Abstract: A beverage maker for pouring hot water flowing out from a hot water pour-out port provided in the top housing 16 of the main body unit 10 of the beverage maker into a beverage extraction funnel 76, and collecting the extract liquid there extracted in a vessel 66. The beverage maker includes a connecting member 30, which is provided above the beverage extraction funnel 76 and rotated about a vertical axis, and a scatter 70, which is detachably provided on the connecting member 30 and conducts hot water to the beverage extraction funnel 76 so that the hot water drip position and drip volume for the beverage extraction funnel 76 varies according to variation in the liquid surface of the hot water in the scatter 70; and the connecting member 30 conducts hot water received from the hot water pour-out port to prescribed positions in the scatter 70.

  • Publication number: 20070017380
    Abstract: A beverage maker including a scatter 70, which is rotated relative to a beverage extraction funnel 76 about a vertical rotational center axis line above the beverage extraction funnel 76 and thus conduct hot water flowing out from a hot water pour-out port, and a rotational drive unit 22, which is for rotationally driving at least one or other of the scatter 70 and the beverage extraction funnel 76; and the scatter 70 has bottom surfaces 72 and 74 which vary in depth, and drip holes 72A and 74A are formed, in the bottom surfaces 72 and 74, at positions of differing depths and differing distances from the rotational center axis line.
