Patent ID: 7661353

Claim:
A high-pressure steam hot beverage maker comprising: a heating device; an infusion device comprising a water container, wherein an inside space of the water container is separated into a water storage area for receiving cold water injected therein and a supporting area for holding a filtration tank, with the infusion device further including a water-out opening and a protruding pole with a through hole respectively formed adjacent to the water storage area and the supporting area of the water container; a through hole at a bottom of the filtration tank; and supporting area inside said filtration tank provided with a filtration mesh having a hot-water duct; wherein when activated to heat, cold water in the water container flows out of the water-out opening and into heating tubes of the heating device via a first connective tube to be heated to become high-temperature hot water, the hot water then flows upwards into the filtration tank located in the supporting area of the water container via a second connective tube linked to water outlets of the heating tubes, and subsequently, said hot water is injected into the hot-water duct of the filtration mesh from the bottom of the filtration tank and then flows out of through openings of the hot-water duct thus infusing coffee powder/tea leaves inside the filtration mesh; wherein such infusion effectively reduces the time for high-temperature hot water to drip into the coffee powder/tea leaves, wherein the bottom of said filtration tank has a dripping opening which has a stopper having a water-stopping member and an elastic element disposed therein and wherein a bottom of the supporting area of said water container has a through opening for allowing said stopper to be exposed.
