Abstract

A fully automatic and self-steering/adaptive coffee roaster (100) is disclosed. The coffee roaster (100) comprises a chamber (102) having a first quantity sensor (104), a dispenser (106) securely connected to the chamber (102) for receiving and storing the green coffee beans, a roasting chamber (108) for automatically receiving the measured quantity of green coffee beans from the dispenser (106), a heater (112) for driving hot air into the roasting chamber (108) using a blower/fan (114), a roasted beans storage chamber (120), a central control unit (130), and a grinder (124) configured to grind the roasted coffee beans to the desired fineness for enabling the user to instantly brew the coffee without losing its essence, aroma, and flavor. The roasting chamber (108) agitates the coffee beans during the roasting process to ensure a uniform heat effect. The central control unit (130) automatically initiates a new roasting process based on the received data from the sensors (104, 110, and 128).

Description

l DK 180677 B1 AUTOMATIC AND SELF-STEERING/ADAPTIVE COFFEE ROASTER
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention disclosed herein generally relates to a fully automatic and self- steering/adaptive coffee roaster. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fully automatic and self-steering/adaptive coffee roaster configured to perform roasting (and grinding), thereby enabling a user to instantly brew a coffee without losing its essence, aroma, and flavor at home, at work or in cafes and/or restaurants, and etc. and also capable of initiating and carrying out the roasting process according to a recipe, regardless of whether the user is present.
BACKGROUND Coffee is a beverage brewed from coffee beans, which are roasted before consumption. Coffee is one of the most-popular beverages in the world and one of the most profitable international commodities. Coffee is the fruit of coffee trees, a cherry which inside the pulp has one or two coffee beans. Before the coffee drink can be brewed, the coffee beans must be dried, roasted, and ground. The roasting process is one of the fundamental stages in processing coffee beans. The roasting process changes the coffee bean both physically and chemically, influencing the taste of the coffee products. It leads to chemical reactions resulting in changes of color, essence, aroma, and density of the coffee bean. During roasting, CO» is also built up inside the bean, so after roasting the coffee bean should ideally "degas” for 24 hours, before being used for brewing. Coffee roasting initiates a process that causes some of the aroma substances to disappear quickly. The roasted coffee is thus best (i.e., with the most aroma substances) if it is ground and brewed within a few days of it being roasted. Currently, coffee beans are most often being roasted in larger-scale roasting factories, after which they are packed, stored, shipped to retail outlets and sold. It thus often
DK 180677 B1 takes months from the coffee is roasted until it is used for brewing. Therefore, the coffee is often inferior in quality when used for brewing, than it would have been if the time between roasting and brewing is limited to a few days. Smaller roasteries partially solve this problem (by being physically closer to the end user and therefore enabling lower lead time from roasting to brewing), but in return typically at a significantly higher cost. A few consumers roast the coffee beans at home using an oven, on the pan, or on dedicated coffee roasters, but with this equipment it requires a lot of effort, which probably keeps the vast majority from roasting their own coffee beans in the home.
One of the problems associated with the roasting of coffee beans at home or office, and in a cafe and/or a restaurant is to ensure that the roasting time and temperature of the beans is carefully and manually controlled by a human operator. It requires knowledge and skills to roast coffee beans correctly in order to release the aromatic and flavour qualities of the coffee bean. If a person is roasting the coffee beans in a pan or in — an oven, then the raw coffee beans must be measured and added for roasting and also the roasting time and temperature must be manually controlled by a human operator. Most people do not possess the skills or knowledge to effectively roast the coffee beans on a pan or in an oven, and the time consumption for roasting coffee is an inconvenience. Even when people are using manual or dedicated semi-automatic coffee roasters (e.g., Gene Cafe, iRoast, Behmor) for roasting the coffee beans at home or office, and in a cafe and/or a restaurant, there is still a need for an operator or human presence and/or an active management for roasting the coffee beans by adding a particular quantity of beans to the manual or dedicated semi-automatic coffee roaster and selecting a program for roasting. Even with semi-automatic coffee roasters, the required human presence when roasting represents an inconvenience to most people.
A prior art, KR 101832981 B1 of LEE, GEON MAN, discloses an automatic coffee bean supply and storage system for an espresso machine. The automatic coffee bean supply and storage system includes: a raw coffee bean storage part having a storage space for storing raw coffee beans, including a first sensor part installed in the storage space to measure the residual amount of raw coffee beans, and discharging raw coffee beans
DK 180677 B1 through a control part connected with the first sensor part; a roaster part roasting the raw coffee beans stored in the storage space by receiving the coffee beans through an inlet; a coffee bean storage part having an aging space for storing and aging the roasted coffee beans, including a second sensor part installed in the aging space to measure the residual amount of roasted coffee beans, and discharging the coffee beans through a control part connected with the second sensor part; a coffee bean grinding part grinding the coffee beans by receiving the coffee beans through the coffee bean storage part; a water storage part having a storage space for storing water, and including a water supply part connected with the storage space; an espresso extracting part connected with the coffee bean grinding part and the water supply part to receive the ground coffee and water to extract espresso; and an automatic raw coffee bean supply part having a storage space for storing the raw coffee beans discharged from the raw coffee bean storage part, and including a dividing part dividing the storage space and a connecting part formed to connect at least one of the storage spaces to the inlet of the roaster part to supply the raw coffee beans to the roaster part. However, above-mentioned prior art system fails to disclose a coffee roaster configured to adapt the quantity of roasted beans and thus the frequency required for initiating new roasting cycles to the specific owner consumption pattern, and thereby autonomously initiating and implementing the roasting cycles to store enough roasted beans within the storage chamber in stock at all times.
In the light of above-mentioned problems, there is a need for a fully automatic and self-steering/adaptive coffee roaster to enable a consumer or user to roast, grind, and brew better coffee at home, at the workplace or in cafes and/or restaurants and the like without incurring high costs or inconvenience for the consumer in the roasting — process. Further, there is also a need for a fully automatic and self-steering/adaptive coffee roaster that is capable of initiating and carrying out the roasting process according to a recipe, regardless of whether a human operator is present. The fully automatic and self- steering/adaptive coffee roaster is configured to initiate the roasting process with a frequency that is dynamically adapted to keep pace with the consumer's need for brewing coffee so that only such an amount is roasted, which on average is used by that specific consumer or group of consumers within a given period of time.
