| 20110311694 | DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MILK FROTH - The invention relates to a device for producing milk froth using steam and air, comprising a convergent-divergent nozzle for achieving a suction effect. A milk feed line is connected to the nozzle in such a way that milk can be drawn from a milk container into a nozzle under the suction effect. The nozzle is designed as a one-piece component created in an injection-molding process and contains a nozzle inlet opening, a nozzle outlet opening, and a milk feed line connection in the form of a milk intake fitting. The air inlet is located before a nozzle inlet opening of the nozzle with regard to the flow direction. A controllable air pump is provided to introduce air into the steam feed line. | 12-22-2011 |
| 20110097463 | DEVICE AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PREPARING A LIQUID FOODSTUFF OR SEMI-LUXURY PRODUCT AND PORTIONED PACKAGING - A device for preparing a liquid foodstuff or semi-luxury product from an extraction product contained in a capsule with a liquid extractant comprises a positioning unit, which can be positioned by applying pressure onto a collar of the capsule in an insertion position between two chamber parts that are spaced from one another in an open position. The positioning unit is designed such that when the chamber parts are moved from the open position to the closed position, the positioning unit acts on the collar in such a way that the collar can be released from the insertion position of the positioning unit by bending or turning the collar down. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20100282088 | DEVICE FOR BREWING A BEVERAGE - A device for brewing a beverage, such as for example a coffee machine, has a brewing chamber for receiving a substance to be brewed or a portion pack containing this substance. The device is also provided with an electric pump for passing liquid through the brewing chamber and with a heat-insulated electric flow heater for heating up the liquid. After a predeterminable time following the end of a brewing operation or following the actuation of an operating element has elapsed, the device can be switched over by an electrical switching module into a very energy-efficient standby mode, in which at least the flow heater, and preferably also other loads, do not consume any electrical energy and are turned off. | 11-11-2010 |
