A chemical reaction where the materials created during extraction break down further into water-soluble proteins and sugars. Part of the brewing process that includes wetting and extraction.

Technology that mixes high viscosity concentrates thoroughly, consistently, and accurately to the required brix setting. The consistent results ensure the best quality beverage in the cup and contribute to maximum profits in the beverage program.

The tank heater is a device used to heat the water in the tank. It is quite similar to the heating elements found in common household appliances, such as water heaters, ovens, and clothes dryers to name a few. Its construction is a high heat-resistive element encased in a heat-treated stainless steel tube. Magnesium oxide powder is used as filler and insulation to keep the resistive wire in place and away from the casing. Elements are built for specific applications and are not necessarily interchangeable. They are rated for applied voltage and a specific power output (wattage), which will determine the resistance (ohms value).

A hammer arrestor is a plumbing device designed to absorb spikes in water pressure. It consists of a chamber filled with air that will compress when a surge of water is introduced into the water line. An indication of water hammer is clanging or noisy pipes and perhaps fluctuations in water pressure.

A sensor on the front hood of the brewer, which reads what name and batch size of coffee was ground into the funnel and allows for the brewer to automatically set itself to what is read from the funnel handle.

Sets the inability to initiate a brew cycle if the funnel is not properly inserted into the funnel rails.

Technology that continuously monitors extract-to-water ratio and assures flavor consistency.

During a pulse brew, this is the time set for the initial flow of water over the grounds.

The factory preset brew settings that were installed into the brewer's memory.

Water-soluble materials dissolve and move out of the coffee grounds and into the water. Part of the brewing process that includes Wetting and Hydrolysis.
