Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0072736A1] With a device for preparing coffee of the type, where water in a closed container (1) is being boiled, after which the water through an ascension pipe (12) is pressed into an open compartment (6), where the boiling water extracts aromatic carriers from the ground coffee, after which the prepared coffee drink is filtered back to the closed compartment (1) through a filter arranged at the outlet from the open compartment, it is the aim to provide a device for preparing coffee, where the aromatic components in the ground coffee is utilised in the best way under careful temperature monitoring, where the user can do without external heat sources, and where the possiibility in advance for deciding a special initiating time and later deciding a temperature sequence are present. This aim is met if the closed container (1) is equipped with at the least one heating element (10), which together and/or single have a suitable power for bringing the water in the closed compartment (1) to the boil, and that the heating element complex is controlled depending on time and temperature using suitable control means and have at least two power steps with a view to keeping the temperature of the coffee drink within a narrow temperature range below the boiling point of the coffee drink.
