Title: Treatment of water
IPC: C02F1/00
Filed: 1987-09-23
Abstract: The treatment of water to remove gas vacuolate cyanobacteria is effected by subjecting the water to a predetermined pressure by being pumped down a centrally located pipe (24) in a bore-hole (12), which is steel lined (13).

Title: Method and device for making coffee
Inventor: VETTERLI HEINZ
IPC: A47J31/46
Filed: 1993-03-19
Abstract: A coffee machine comprises mainly a freshwater container (1), a freshwater pipe (3), a pump (6), a water heater (7), and a brewing chamber (20). In this brewing chamber there is a plunger (22) which can be actuated hydraulically by brewing water (8) for compressing ground coffee (25). A valve device (14) is also arranged in the coffee machine in such a way that any residual water present after the brewing operation in the brewing chamber (20) and in the pipe (11) is conducted away. A valve piston (16) mounted in the valve device (14) is mechanically forcibly coupled to the pivotable brewing chamber (20). After the ground coffee (25) has been brewed, the valve piston (16) is moved through the downwardly travelling brewing chamber (20) to its upper stop. There is thus now communication between the pipe (11) and the discharge pipe (10). Via this communication, the residual water located on the back of the movable plunger (22) and in the pipe (11) can flow away out of the coffee machine. This discharge flow can also be assisted by the returning plunger (22). It is guaranteed by this measure that the brewed coffee beverage is hot and that it corresponds in taste to the expectations of the consumer. Additionally, a coffee beverage prepared in this manner is satisfactory in terms of its microbiological condition.
