Patent ID: 8850959

Claim:
An espresso coffee machine comprising a plurality of operating units: each of the plurality of the operating units comprising: a pressure gauge; a system for controlling and adjusting espresso coffee brewing parameters; a boiler; a pump; a heating unit; an aroma extraction and espresso coffee brew dispensing unit; a control module operatively coupled to at least one of the pump and the heating unit, the control module operatively configured to receive at least one of pressure profiles and temperature profiles, and the control module operatively configured to vary at least one of (1) espresso coffee brew extraction pressure following a user selected one of the pressure profiles and (2) espresso coffee brew extraction temperature following a user selected one of the temperature profiles during coffee extraction; a processor operatively coupled to the control module and a user interface, the processor operatively configured to store the at least one of the pressure profiles and the temperature profiles and to access one or more stored ones of the pressure profiles and the temperature profiles responsive to a request by a user for reproduction of corresponding pressure parameters by the pressure control module and to interface with the temperature control module to reproduce characteristics of a user access to temperature profile, and the pressure profiles comprising a pressure increase, a maximum pressure value, and a pressure decrease; and a manual actuator acting on the control module.
