A milk supply device for supplying milk from a milk supply container to a milk dispensing device is provided. The milk supply device comprises a milk transport line which can be connected to the milk supply container and with which milk which has been taken from the milk supply container can be delivered to the milk dispensing device. The milk supply device further comprises a three-way junction, which can be operated such that optionally milk can be transported from the milk supply container to the milk dispensing device, whilst the milk transport line is sealed off by it, at the same time, relative to the cleaning agent transport line, in a fluid-impermeable manner, or cleaning agent can be conducted from the cleaning agent transport line in the direction towards the milk dispensing device and/or in the direction towards a discharge of the milk supply device.

A filter capsule for secondary filtration of extracted coffee is provided, where the filter capsule comprises a housing and at least one filter element or consists thereof. The housing comprises a bottom, at least one side wall and at least one cover or consists thereof, the at least one filter element being disposed in an interior space of the housing. Coffee extracted on a brewing strainer can be subjected to a secondary filtration so that suspended particles and emulsified oils of a specific size are separated from the coffee by the filter element of the filter capsule and a new type of coffee is produced. The use of the filter capsule for secondary filtration of coffee is therefore proposed.

Filter capsule for secondary filtration of coffee and use thereof

An electrically operated beverage maker, in particular electrically operated coffee machine, having at least one component which is subjected to wear and tear and hence maintenance-relevant, wherein at least one load parameter which characterises an actual wear and tear of the maintenance-relevant component can be determined, and in that at least one reliability parameter of the maintenance-relevant component can be calculated, taking into account the specific load parameter(s) of the maintenance-relevant component.

Electrically operated beverage maker (preferably coffee machine) having dynamic maintenance plan generation

A milk-frothing device may be provided that comprises a mixing chamber which is constructed such that, when the milk flows through the mixing chamber, shear forces act on the milk and lead to mechanical lysis of the proteins contained in the milk and hence effect improved frothing-up of the milk. A drinks preparer may be provided that includes this milk-frothing device. A method may be provided for frothing-up of milk using this milk-frothing device.

Milk-frothing device, drinks preparer comprising same, and method for frothing milk

An apparatus for heating and frothing a beverage product, in particular milk, comprises a steam generator, a compressed air source, an air supply conduit connected to the compressed air source to supply air from the compressed air source to the steam generator, and a steam/air conduit connected to the steam generator to supply a steam/air mixture from the steam generator into the beverage product.

Apparatus for heating and frothing a beverage product

A grinder for a coffee machine includes a first grinding disc disposed in a housing. A drive moves the first grinding disc about a rotational axis. A second grinding disc is disposed in the housing. There is a threaded part in which the second grinding disc is attached. The threaded part is screwable into the housing. A drive wheel is disposed coaxially with respect to the threaded part and rotates the threaded part with respect to the housing. A grinding gap between the two grinding discs is thereby able to be set. A setting wheel co-operates with the drive wheel, the setting wheel being attached to the housing. A supply opening is disposed in the housing for supply of coffee beans to be ground. A path guide opening guides away the coffee ground between the two grinding discs. A holder is adjustably attached to the housing and is fixable in any position. The setting wheel which is attached to the holder can engage the drive wheel in any desired position with respect to the housing, whereby the grinder can be inserted into different types of coffee machines.
