An automatic beverage brewer for coffee, tea, and the like, and more particularly, which is customizable both in physical configuration including number and location of external brewing fonts, optionally in association with a bulk brewing font and receiving container, and in automatic operation to dispense hot water to the respective fonts and a main brewing basket or baskets responsive to user inputted beverage brewing commands.

A dispensing station apparatus, system, and method for liquid personal hygiene product, including, but not limited to, liquid (including gel) soap, sanitizer, disinfectant and/or cleanser, such as for sanitizing, disinfecting or cleaning one's hands, and, more particularly, that is touchlessly automatically operable to dispense a discrete quantity of the liquid personal hygiene product responsive to sensed presence of a person's hand along a predetermined dispensing path, including rapidly in succession responsive to placement of a succession of hands placed in the path. The apparatus can optionally be modular, to enable configuring to include one or more dispensing stations at multiple positions and heights on a housing of the apparatus, and it can be overall height adjustable, and can include a variety of accessories, including personal protection shielding between the stations, and dispensers for gloves, masks, tissues, etc.

A beverage diluting and cooling container includes a floor, a peripheral sidewall, and a divider wall that divides an interior space defined by the peripheral sidewall into a first compartment that receives a cooling medium for cooling and diluting a beverage received into the first compartment. The divider wall also divides the interior space into a second compartment that holds a second quantity of a cooling medium for non-dilutingly cooling the beverage. The second compartment is sealed from the first compartment to prevent flow of liquid from the second compartment into the first compartment. One or more of the floor or a portion of the sidewall bounding the first compartment includes at least one opening therethrough to allow flow of the beverage out of the first compartment while containing the cooling medium in the first compartment.

A handle for a beverage dispensing faucet, having an ergonometric size and shaped body that is easy to grasp and lightweight, the handle being configured to allow quickly and easily changing or selecting from different shape ergonometric bodies using specially shaped adapters having mounting elements shaped to the different shape bodies.

An adapter for offset stacking of beverage decanters or dispensers in laterally offset relation, and more particularly, configurable for stacking the decanters in a forwardly and/or sidewardly arranged laterally offset relation, to allow dispensing individually from faucets, spigots, or other dispensing apparatus of the decanters without dripping directly onto lower faucets and without interference, and which can also serve as a decanter lid. The adapter can be configured for fore and aft, angular, and/or sideward offsets, and can include pass-through openings for brewing, and other optional features.

Adapter for offset stacking of beverage decanters

A brew basket with an integrated separate cavity providing for a water bypass or additive conduit all of which may be added to the brewed beverage, as it exists its brew basket discharge spout during a brewing cycle. An integrated separate cavity is provided partially around the perimeter of the brew basket, as along its upper flange, for some angular distance, and which cavity tapers into a downward conduit, which conduit extends under the bottom of the brew basket, and empties into the same discharged port through which the brewed beverage is discharged from the brew basket and into a lower decanter, during performance of a brewing cycle. Additives such as flavoring, sweeteners, and even cold water may pass through the separate cavity, for intermixing with the brewed beverage, in order to add to its flavoring, sweetening, or even cooling, depending upon whether coffee, hot tea, or ice tea, has been selected for the brewing cycle. The brew basket is capable of pivoting, in its support under the cantilevered top of the brewing apparatus, to allow for the beverage to be dispensed into one or more decanters, during a brewing cycle, or during performance of sequential brewing cycles.

A programmable brewer capable of brewing approximately 250 different brewing profiles for beverages, including a housing, having a base, the base capable of supporting a decanter, into which the brewed beverage is deposited. A cover is cantilevered forwardly at the top of the housing, and the housing incorporates a water tank capable of producing heating water for use of brewing purposes. The brewer cooperating with a hand held computer for producing limited programming functions available through the brewer during its usage, said computer providing for a calibration of the programming mode, to determine the parameters of a brewing cycle, regulating the temperature of the water, and a computer providing for establishing the operation mode of a cold water dispensing tube, and a hot water dispensing tube for determining the amount of water to be dispensed from said tubes during operations of a brew cycle.

A dripless brew basket including a brew basket, having an opening provided through its bottom wall, a vacuum breaker sleeve fixedly mounted thereto, the upper part of the vacuum breaker sleeve having apertures or ports provided therethrough, to allow the brewed beverage to flow into the sleeve and be dispensed from the brew basket, during application. A vacuum breaker cap mounts on to the upper end of the sleeve, to act as a fluid levelers for the brewed beverage provided within the basket, during a brewing operation, and once the brewed beverage has been dispensed through the breaker sleeve, it reaches the bottom level of the sleeve ports, thereby preventing an further discharge of fluid from the brew basket, including the elimination of any drippage, in providing for the dripless brew basket of this invention.

Dripless brew basket

The multiple beverage brewer utilizes the vacant vertical spaces in an establishment, opens counterspace, and allows placement of different products, such as coffee varieties and flavors, for simultaneous brewing. The vertical multiple coffee brewer begins with a base, a housing upon the base extending upright while leaving room for at least one warmer on the base, a deck extending from the housing above the base with a brew basket and a coffee pot, at least one warmer on the deck, a second deck extending from the housing, and a top. The housing contains one tank for heating of water supplied to all of the brew baskets through piping and dump valves. Alternatively, the housing has two vertically stacked tanks supplied with fresh water but heating the water separately for delivery to each deck.
