Abstract:
1. A device for brewing coffee comprising a microprocessor, a user actuated control device for interfacing with said microprocessor, a tank for retaining water, a heating element for selectively heating said water, a brewing basket for receipt of water from said tank and ground coffee, a weighing mechanism and a cone valve assembly at an output of said brewing basket for controllably dispensing brewed coffee from said brewing basket, said microprocessor being interfaced with a controller for a multichannel valve assembly such that upon actuation of said user activated controller, a quantity of coffee to be brewed is introduced to said brewing basket and weighed by said weighing mechanism and a control signal from said weighing station supplied to said microprocessor, said microprocessor generating a control signal for actuating a pump and selecting a first orientation for said multichannel valve assembly for feeding a measured quantity of heated water to said brewing chamber based upon said quantity of coffee and further generating a control signal to said valve assembly and pump to terminate the feeding of water to said brewing basket after said measured quantity of heated water had been introduced thereto and further generating a control signal to said cone valve for selectively opening said cone valve assembly for dispensing brewed coffee from said brewing basket.
