a high-pressure extraction stage: the water pump 541 and the flow control valve 522 are operated, the cold water in the water supply device and the hot water in the sub-boiler 20 are mixed in the brewing device, the second heating device 45 is operated, so that the temperature of the water around the second heating device 45 becomes high, because the density of the hot water is lower than that of the cold water, the hot water moves upward and flows to the brewing boiler 41 through the first water flow channel 43, at this time, the cold water in the lower part of the brewing boiler flows into the water container through the second water flow channel 44, and since the inner top wall of the brewing boiler 41 is higher than the inner top wall of the water container 421, according to the pressure formula of the liquid, the higher the height of the liquid is at the same density, the pressure to the bottom surface is larger, so that the pressure of the water in the brewing boiler 41 at the first water flow channel 43 and the second water flow channel 44 is higher than the pressure of the water in the water container 421, and therefore, the water in the brewing boiler 41 also flows to the water container 421 through the first water flow channel, but hot water and cold water still can not be mixed completely at this moment, and rethread temperature sensor detects actual temperature to utilize PID temperature controller to control second heating device work, make actual temperature unanimous with the settlement temperature, can accurate control actual temperature through above-mentioned mode. When the water pump 541 works, the pressure of water can reach 9bar, the flow regulating valve 522 can slightly increase the water pressure, and finally the water flows out of the brewing opening 4221 at the pressure of 9-10 bar to extract coffee powder, wherein the time of a high-pressure extraction stage can be randomly regulated;

a low-pressure extraction stage: the pressure reduction electromagnetic valve starts to work, the brewing pressure is reduced to 5-7 bar from 9-10 bar, the final low-pressure extraction is completed, then the two-position three-way valve is located at the second working position, water in the water container flows to the third connector from the brewing pipeline through the second connector, so that waste water remained in the brewing pipeline is discharged, and the problem that cold water remained in the brewing pipeline when the two-position three-way valve is located at the first working position next time influences the water temperature of water for brewing coffee is avoided. Set for the pressure in different low pressure extraction stages through controlling the step-down solenoid valve, can set for the pressure in different low pressure extraction stages according to the self characteristic of coffee powder to can extract the pressure too high when can avoid extracting at the end by the low pressure, and then lead to the coffee taste of extracting out bitter and astringent, wherein, the time in low pressure extraction stage can be adjusted wantonly.

As shown in FIG. 4, the method of brewing coffee by using such a coffee maker will be described in detail below:

the method specifically comprises the following steps:

wetting the coffee powder by using hot water in the brewing device;

extracting a portion of the coffee grounds with hot water in a brewing device at a first predetermined pressure;

the remaining portion of the coffee grounds are extracted with hot water in the brewing device at a second predetermined pressure, wherein the second predetermined pressure is less than the first predetermined pressure. The first preset pressure is set to fully extract the grease in the coffee powder, and the last-stage extraction is carried out under the second preset pressure, so that the phenomenon that the taste of the coffee is bitter due to excessive extraction is avoided.

Specifically, the first predetermined pressure is in the range of 9-10 bar. The water pressure in the brewing boiler is kept at 9bar all the time, the water pressure is slightly fluctuated by the control of the flow regulating valve, and finally, the coffee powder is extracted by high pressure in the range of 9-10 bar, so that the grease in the coffee powder is fully extracted.

Specifically, the time for extracting a part of the coffee powder is within the range of 14-18 s. The grease in the coffee powder can be fully extracted by high-pressure extraction, so that the coffee has mellow taste.

Specifically, in the process of extracting the rest part of the coffee powder, the water pressure in the brewing device is reduced from a first preset pressure to a second preset pressure and then is kept at the second preset pressure, and the second preset pressure is 5-6 bar. The end section adopts low-pressure extraction, so that the bitter taste of the coffee caused by excessive extraction is avoided.

Specifically, the time for extracting the rest of the coffee powder is within the range of 0-6 s. The time of the low-pressure extraction stage is shorter than that of the high-pressure extraction stage, so that the bitter taste of the coffee caused by excessive extraction is avoided.

Specifically, in the process of wetting the coffee powder, the water pressure in the brewing device is reduced from a first preset pressure to a third preset pressure and then is maintained at the third preset pressure, the third preset pressure is in the range of 2-4 bar, and in the process of extracting a part of the coffee powder, the water pressure in the brewing device is increased from the third preset pressure to the third preset pressure and then is maintained at the first preset pressure. The wetting process is similar to the stuffy steaming process when coffee is brewed by hands, grease in the coffee powder can be in mild contact with water in the stuffy steaming process, the grease is easier to separate from the coffee powder, meanwhile, carbon dioxide in the coffee powder can be discharged in a proper amount, and the grease is finer and smoother.

Specifically, the wetting time is within the range of 3-8 s. The moistening process makes the coffee more mellow in mouthfeel.

In particular, the sum of the time of moistening, the time of extraction of a portion of the coffee powder and the time of extraction of the remaining portion of the coffee powder does not exceed 30 s. The brewing time can be determined according to different coffee powders.

In particular, the temperature of the hot water in the brewing device remains constant during the wetting and extraction. The water temperature in the brewing device can be kept constant through the mutual matching of the second heating device and the temperature sensor.

The specific steps for brewing espresso are described below:

setting the water temperature to be 93 ℃;

a wetting stage: the wetting time is 5s, the water pressure in the brewing boiler is rapidly reduced from 9bar to 3bar and is stabilized to about 3 bar; the water pressure in the brewing boiler is naturally reduced due to the hot water flow.

A high-pressure extraction stage: setting the first preset pressure to be 9bar, rapidly increasing the water pressure in the brewing boiler from 3bar to 9bar, stabilizing the water pressure to be about 9bar, and setting the time of high-pressure extraction to be 15 s; the pressure in the brewing boiler rises continuously as the water in the brewing boiler is gradually heated and eventually stabilizes at 9 bar.

A low-pressure extraction stage: the second predetermined pressure was set at 6bar, the time for the low-pressure extraction was set at 6s, and the pressure was reduced from 9bar to 6bar in a time range of 6 s. The pressure reducing solenoid valve starts to work to reduce the brewing pressure and finish the final low-pressure extraction.

The process of brewing espresso coffee in a coffee machine of the prior art and the process of brewing espresso coffee in a coffee machine of the present application are described below:

fig. 2 is a pressure change situation of a conventional coffee machine in the prior art when espresso is brewed, the pressure of the conventional coffee machine is always constant, no wetting process is performed in the initial stage of brewing coffee, coffee powder is directly extracted through high pressure, a large amount of carbon dioxide is easily discharged, the drinking taste of coffee is further influenced, 9bar pressure is still kept in the final stage of extraction, and the coffee powder is easily subjected to transitional extraction, so that the bitterness is generated.

Fig. 3 is the pressure change condition when the coffee machine of this application is used to brew Italian coffee, the pressure of each stage is constantly changed when the coffee machine is used to brew coffee, the pressure of the wetting stage is gradually decreased from 9bar to 3bar, similar to the process of braising the coffee powder when the coffee is brewed by hand, the grease in the coffee powder can be gently contacted with water in the braising process, so that the coffee powder is more easily separated from the grease, meanwhile, the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder can be properly discharged, and the grease is more delicate. The pressure of the high-pressure extraction stage is about 9bar, and the grease in the coffee powder can be fully extracted at the pressure of 9 bar. When coffee is extracted to the tail section, soluble substances in coffee powder are less and less, the coffee machine in the application can adopt low-pressure extraction at the stage, the pressure can be reduced to 6bar from 9bar, the coffee taste is ensured to be complete, excessive extraction is prevented, and the Italian coffee with perfect taste is made.
