Description

Beverage manufacturing device {manufacturing device for beverage}

The present invention relates to a beverage manufacturing apparatus, and to an apparatus for manufacturing a beverage by injecting water into a rotating extraction unit including beverage materials, and discharging a beverage manufactured to the outside through a mesh structure of the extraction unit.

Regarding the size of the domestic coffee market and coffee consumption per capita, the size of the domestic coffee market, announced by ACNielsen, a market research institute, increased 2.5 times from 1.558 trillion won in 2007 to 4.13 trillion won in 2012.

As a result of the per capita coffee consumption survey, in the case of Northern Europe, where coffee consumption is the largest, the consumption of coffee beans is high at 80%, and the ratio of coffee beans per capita is decreasing in the order of Northern Europe, Japan and Korea. Conversely, as coffee consumption increases, it is expected that coffee beans are more preferred.

In addition, according to Coffee Trend consumer analysis, consumers who enjoy coffee at coffee shops are gradually changing to enjoy coffee through a coffee machine at home.

The biggest reason consumers want to buy a coffee machine is that you can drink coffee whenever you want, brew coffee yourself, and drink coffee at the level of a coffee shop.

Recently, as coffee spreads more and more into homes, it’s time for a high-quality, high-quality coffee. Consumer demand is increasing, and as an alternative, Dutch coffee or cold brew is emerging.

Dutch coffee or cold brew is coffee brewed using room temperature water for a long time.

Because Dutch coffee is extracted at room temperature, it has a longer period of not losing flavor than other coffees, which is advantageous for distribution. Also, since it is sold as an undiluted solution, you can make coffee simply by adding water, milk, syrup, etc. according to your preference. It has been completed and is evaluated to be more convenient than capsule coffee.

However, the manufacturing method requires a long time (6 to 12 hours for extracting 500cc water), and there is a difficulty in expansion because it cannot be mass-produced even if it is manufactured.

In addition, in order to extract a certain taste, there is a problem that a designated recipe according to a technique and extraction tool must be applied.

In addition, there is a high possibility of exposure to unsanitary environments such as microbial growth over a long period of time, and there is a problem in that the extraction tool is difficult to clean.

In addition, there is also a problem in that the temperature of the coffee to be provided is determined according to the temperature of the water to be prepared (the consumer's need to receive hot coffee even if it is prepared with cold water).

In addition to coffee, consumers are paying great attention to various teas such as green tea and black tea, that is, beverages.

Accordingly, there is a growing need for an apparatus for manufacturing beverages such as coffee, green tea, and black tea having a flavor desired by consumers without taking a long time as in the prior art.
