Beverage dispenser and coffee maker

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a beverage dispenser comprising a larger container for accommodating the beverage to be dispensed, a smaller container for accommodating the beverage dispensed and a connecting channel connecting the larger container and the smaller container. The beverage dispenser further comprises a rationing vessel, which has an upper opening and a lower opening; the upper opening of the rationing vessel opens to atmosphere; the lower opening of the rationing vessel is disposed in or communicates with an inner cavity of the smaller container; and the larger container has a vent opening to atmosphere. The beverage in the larger container flows into the smaller container through the connecting channel. The beverage in the smaller container is dispensed based on theories of static physics rather than relying on electronic control. The coffee maker of the present disclosure comprises a housing, the beverage dispenser and a brewing unit, both installed inside the housing, wherein, the beverage dispenser communicates with the brewing unit. It is easy to operate the coffee maker of the present disclosure to dispense a pre-determined amount of beverage without electronic control.
