Abstract:
Method, machine and boiler for the preparation of beverages, in particular infusions such as coffee or tea; wherein the boiler has a central tank which delimits a superheating area for a liquid and an outer tank positioned around the central tank so as to delimit a heating area for the liquid and to allow the heating of the liquid in the heating area by means of the heat generated in the superheating area; the heating area having a first outlet for supplying hot liquid, the superheating area having a second outlet for the supply of steam.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for the preparation of beverages, in particular infusions such as coffee or tea, by means of a machine comprising a boiler according to  claim 1  and comprising a central tank configured to delimit a superheating area for a liquid and an outer tank, which is positioned around the central tank and is configured to delimit a heating area for the liquid; wherein the relative arrangement between the superheating area and the heating area is such as to allow heating of the liquid in the heating area by means of the heat generated in the superheating area; wherein the heating area has a first outlet configured to supply hot liquid to a first user for the preparation of a beverage, while the superheating area has a second outlet for the supply of steam to a user; wherein the first outlet for the supply of liquid and the second outlet for the supply of steam draw, respectively, liquid and steam from two distinct and separate areas of the boiler by the steps of:\n filling the superheating area to a predetermined level with a liquid; \n filling the heating area with liquid so that the liquid present in the heating area is at a predefined pressure; \n operating the heating body to heat both the liquid in the heating area and the liquid in the superheating area; \n drawing, in use, hot liquid via the first outlet; \n drawing, in use, steam via the said second outlet.
