Michael J. Manfra - Tewksbury MA

International Classification:

H01L 21306

US Classification:

156636

Abstract:

Abstract:

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for brewing a desired portion of a beverage, such as an individual serving portion of coffee, are provided. Certain aspects of this disclosure are directed toward a bulk hopper replacement unit, or individual serving feed hopper adapter, that is configured to be docked with an open hopper slot of a bulk hopper assembly of an existing automated bulk coffee brewing system that is typically used to prepare bulk beverages using coffee beans stored in bulk hoppers connected to the system. For example, the individual serving feed hopper adapter can advantageously allow the existing automated bulk coffee brewing system to prepare an individual serving portion of a particular beverage that involves use of ingredients (e.g., coffee beans) that are not currently stored in one of the bulk hoppers.

A47J 31/52

Abstract:

A modular brewing system is described for providing hot water and managing power to multiple brew tower modules using a single centralized boiler and power management module so as to limit the number of high-power circuits required in a coffeehouse or store. The boiler and power management module manages power of components of the centralized boiler assembly and any brew tower modules connected thereto, including the boiler heaters, the grinder motors, and the brew chamber heaters.
