The invention concerns a beverage preparation apparatus (), said apparatus comprising at least one chamber () for receiving and mixing water and at least one soluble beverage ingredient, said chamber comprising: —a lateral side wall () defining an internal mixing volume, —a bottom wall () comprising a beverage outlet (), —at least one water supply device () configured for creating a jet of water () and orienting said jet of water inside the chamber, —at least one rotating device () configured to rotate around a rotational axis inside the mixing chamber, said rotating device comprising blades (), wherein the blades of the rotating device are freely rotatable around the rotational axis, and wherein the jet of water introduced in the chamber is oriented to hit the blades of the rotating device and actuate the rotation of the rotating device around the rotational axis.

Beverage apparatus with mixing chamber

The invention concerns a method for producing a beverage by dissolution of soluble beverage powder with water in a beverage preparation apparatus, —said apparatus comprising at least one chamber () for receiving and mixing a dose of soluble beverage powder with water, said chamber comprising : —an opened top to receive the dose of soluble beverage powder, and —a lateral side wall () said lateral side wall comprising a water inlet (), and —a bottom wall (), said bottom wall comprising a beverage outlet conduit (), and —said method comprising the steps of: a) —introducing water through the water inlet () to wet the internal surface of the funnel of the bottom wall, then b) —stopping the introduction of water, then c) —introducing the dose of soluble beverage powder in the chamber, then d) —introducing water in the chamber to dissolve the powder.

Beverage preparation method

A beverage production apparatus includes a mixing chamber for producing a beverage from a soluble ingredient and a liquid, and a chamber receiving area for receiving the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is removable from the chamber receiving area. The chamber receiving area includes an upper part, and the upper part is removable from the beverage production apparatus.

Beverage mixing device

A beverage preparation machine comprising a beverage ingredient powder storing container and a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber being movable between a dosing position, where the outlet of the storing container emerges in the mixing chamber inlet, and a mixing position, where the outlet of the storing container does not emerge in the mixing chamber inlet. The dosing position being placed at a lower vertical position than the mixing position, and wherein the machine comprises an auger at the bottom of the beverage ingredient powder storing container configured for guiding a dose of powder to the outlet of the storing container. The machine also comprises a door at the outlet of the storing container, the door being configured so that when the mixing chamber moves to the dosing position the movement of the mixing chamber activates the opening of the door and when the mixing chamber moves to the mixing position the movement of the mixing chamber induces the closure of the door.

Beverage preparation machine with movable mixing chamber

The present invention describes a beverage production apparatus (), comprising:&#x2014;a mixing chamber () for producing a beverage from a soluble ingredient and a liquid, and&#x2014;a chamber receiving area () for receiving the mixing chamber (), the mixing chamber () being removable from the chamber receiving area (), wherein the chamber receiving area comprises an upper part (), said upper part being removable from the beverage production apparatus ().
