3. Centrifugal Brewing System:
Traditionally coffee is prepared by a filter or pressurized method. CIG has developed a system that serves coffee by a centrifugal brewing device.
The centrifugal brewing system is a self cleaning coffee brewer for vending and domestic applications, whereby the brewing chamber rotates instead of the traditional high-pressure brewing. By controlling the rotation speed and lead time, pre-moistening of coffee and equal distribution of the mixture of hot water and ground coffee over the permanent filter is ensured. After every serving the centrifugal brewing system cleans the permanent filter and dispenses a powder dry residue of coffee...CIG’s patented technology. A non-exclusive licensing agreement was closed with Nestlé to use the technology due to the excellent performance of the brewer.
