Abstract: Systems and processes for preparing beverages, in particular espresso coffee and similar aromatic beverages, having at least one type of drinking recipient, for example of glass type, cup or similar, and an apparatus having a beverage discharge disposition operatively associated with a beverage preparation device adapted so that can be driven by a motorized actuation device and collect an individual portion of beverage ingredients. The apparatus has a control mechanism configured so that can process data of several operative parameters of the apparatus, including data relating to the entry of the individual portion in the beverage preparation device and data relating to the position of the actuation device, and being further configured so that can automatically determine the start and end of fluid injection and beverage discharge in a more ergonomic manner.

The apparatus has a control mechanism that can process data of several operative parameters of the apparatus, including data relating to the entry of the individual portion in said beverage preparation device and data relating to the position of the actuation device, and being further configured to determine actuations of the actuation device and display of progress indications and of operation errors based upon the data of operative parameters.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a semiautonomous apparatus (1) for preparation and distribution of edible products, such as for example beverages, that presents a subsystem of preparation of edible products based upon portions (2) of edible substances, for example capsules of roasted and ground coffee for preparing coffee of the espresso type, and comprising at least one brewing device (4), and a subsystem of propulsion and locomotion (5), and further presenting a control device (8) provided so that can control said systems and so that the operation of said brewing device (4) and of said propulsion and locomotion means (5) is mutually exclusive, so that said semiautonomous apparatus (1) does not provide edible products while being moved by respective propulsion and locomotion means (5).

Abstract: A semiautonomous apparatus (1) for preparation and distribution of edible products, e.g. beverages, having a subsystem of preparation of edible products based upon portions (2) of edible substances, for example capsule of ground coffee beans for preparing expresso coffee, and comprising at least one brewing device (4), and a subsystem of propulsion and locomotion comprising propulsion and locomotion means (5). The apparatus (1) comprises a casing (3) with a generally parallelepiped, cylindrical shape, or other, that configures a top area that develops at all width and all length at the highest level of said casing (3). The top area comprises a plurality of service regions (31, 32) distributed in coherent manner in the top area of said casing (3). The first service region (31) presents first and second openings (11, 12) for introduction of portions (2) and for discharging beverage in a direction opposite to the gravity force.
