In one aspect, a method of using an automated beverage machine can include causing coffee beans to be dispensed from a hopper configured to contain the coffee beans and into a grinder configured to grind the coffee beans. The method can further include receiving, from a weight sensor configured to measure a total weight of the hopper and the coffee beans, data characterizing a weight of the hopper, and determining, based on the received data, an amount of coffee beans dispensed into the grinder.

Zero retention coffee bean hopper

A cooking system is provided. The cooking system includes a housing, a heating elements, a cooking accessory, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The housing has an internal heating compartment, where the heating element is positioned therein. The cooking accessory has a cooking surface and is configured to be receivable within the internal heating compartment. The temperature sensor is positioned within the internal heating compartment and configured to measure a temperature of the cooking accessory. The controller is configured to operate an output of the heating element. The output of the heating element is related to the measured temperature of the cooking accessory and independent of an air temperature of the internal heating compartment.

Temperature controlled accessory for countertop cooking system

A system for preparing a brewed beverage from at least one flavorant includes a housing, a receptacle connectable to the housing for holding the at least one flavorant and a reservoir connectable to the housing. The receptacle including a first fluid inlet and a second fluid inlet and a first fluid flow path fluidly connects the reservoir to the first fluid inlet and a second fluid flow path fluidly connects the reservoir to the second fluid inlet.

Hybrid receptacle beverage brewing system

A cooking system positionable on a support surface including a housing having an internal heating compartment and an opening formed in said housing for accessing said internal heating compartment. The housing is movable between a first position and second position. The opening is arranged within a first plane when said housing is in said first position, and the opening is arranged within a second plane when said housing is in said second position, said first plane and said second plane being distinct.

Stowable countertop cooking system

Containers are provided and include a container body having an opening extending into a hollow interior, and a cap extending across the opening. The cap has an inlet port with an inlet valve configured to couple to a fluid source such that fluid can be delivered through the inlet valve to pressurized the hollow interior of the container body. The cap also has an outlet port with an outlet valve having a cracking pressure at which the outlet valve is configured to move from a closed configuration to an open configuration to dispense fluid from the hollow interior, and a closing pressure at which the outlet valve is configured to move from the open configuration to the closed configuration to prevent fluid from passing therethrough. The cracking pressure is greater than the closing pressure.

Ingredient container valve control

A method of preparing a brewed beverage using a beverage brewing apparatus includes providing a flavorant, identifying a process cycle including one or more infusion cycles for preparing the brewed beverage, performing said one or more infusion cycles, wherein said performing of said one or more infusion cycles includes providing fluid to said flavorant, and varying a temperature of said fluid provided to said flavorant during a single infusion cycle of said one or more infusion cycles, or between a plurality of infusion cycles of said one or more infusion cycles.

Automatic coffeemaker process for preparing a cold brewed beverage

A cooking system positionable on a support surface including a housing including at least a top wall, bottom wall, and side walls, said housing defining a hollow chamber including a cooking chamber and a convecting chamber. A convection heater is disposed within the convecting chamber. At least one fluidly communicable opening extends between the convecting chamber and the cooking chamber. The at least one fluidly communicable opening fully extends between the top wall and the bottom wall of the housing.

Countertop cooking system

A cooking system positionable on a support surface includes a housing having a hollow chamber including an internal cooking chamber for receiving a food item, at least one radiative heating element arranged within the hollow interior and operable to heat said cooking chamber and a convection heater disposed within the hollow chamber and operable to heat the cooking chamber. The cooking system is operable in a convection cooking mode and during the convection cooking mode, the at least one radiative heating element is selectively energized.

A cooking system includes a housing having a hollow interior and a container disposable within the hollow interior and including a bottom surface. The container defines a container cavity for receiving food to be cooked. A support body is positionable within the hollow interior to support food. The support body is disposable within the container cavity. The container cavity includes a clearance area between a bottom of the support body and the bottom surface of the container. A heating element operably coupled to the support body.

Cooking device and components thereof

A cooking system includes a housing having a hollow interior and food is receivable within said hollow interior. A heating element is associated with the housing and a support body supports food within the hollow interior. The support body includes a body having a plurality of diffuser ribs. A plurality of channels is formed between the plurality of diffuser rib and at least one of the plurality of diffuser ribs and the plurality of channels is operable to deflect a relatively downward flowing fluid relatively horizontally across said support body.

A cooking system including a housing having a hollow interior and food being receivable within said hollow interior. A support body supports food within the hollow interior and a heating element is positioned to heat the hollow interior and the support body. A temperature sensor is operable to monitor a temperature of the support body. The temperature sensor is located remotely from said heating element.

Flow control assemblies are provided. The flow control assemblies include a cap having a flow control system with an inlet port having an inlet valve and an outlet port having an outlet valve, wherein the flow control system achieves a Dosing Accuracy (DA) of about 100 or less according to the following formula: where, Po is a pressure to open the outlet valve (mmHO), Pc is a pressure to close the outlet valve (mmHO), Vd is a diameter of the outlet valve (mm), and Ls is a length of the valve opening (mm).
