Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tea machine, which is set up for the automatic preparation of tea beverages. While automatic coffee machines have long been known for the automatic preparation of coffee, tea machines have been developed only recently, which are specially provided for the automatic preparation of tea drinks.
  • the present invention is based on the object to provide a tea machine with improved functionality.
  • Some teas are suitable for several infusions.
  • Some tea drinkers prefer second and further infusions with the same tea leaves even before the first infusion. With the tea maker described above, it is now possible to perform more than one infusion with the same tea leaves.
  • the two or more infusions take place without intermediate removal of the portion of tea leaves from the tea machine.
  • the tea leaves remain so for the duration of several infusions in the tea machine.
  • a receptacle is provided which is adapted to receive the tea leaves and arrange for the duration of each infusion in a drawing vessel of the tea machine such that they come into contact with the hot water introduced into the drawing vessel for the respective infusion. More preferably, the receptacle is adapted to arrange the tea leaves at the end of an infusion so that they no longer come into contact with hot water in the drawing vessel.
  • control device for a tea machine set up for execution or comprising means for carrying out the method described above or one of the described embodiments of the method.
  • the control device can in particular have a microprocessor and a memory connected thereto, for example a RAM or ROM memory, on which a program with program instructions is stored whose execution on the microprocessor controls and / or effects the implementation of the method.
  • a microprocessor and a memory connected thereto, for example a RAM or ROM memory, on which a program with program instructions is stored whose execution on the microprocessor controls and / or effects the implementation of the method.
  • a draw vessel is understood to mean a vessel in which hot water is brought into contact with a portion of tea leaves for a preferably predetermined or predeterminable drawing time, so that constituents of the tea leaves can enter the water and the water thus becomes a tea beverage. This process is commonly referred to as “drawing” so that the vessel will be referred to herein as “drawing vessel”. Leaving a serving of tea leaves in a quantity of hot water for a given draw duration is also referred to as "infusion”.
  • the tea machine preferably has a hot water supply, which is adapted to introduce hot water into the drawing vessel.
  • a water heater is provided with heating means to heat water to a preferably predetermined or predetermined drawing temperature, before the water is introduced via the hot water supply line in the drawing vessel.
  • the tea machine preferably further comprises a feeder, in which a user can give tea leaves. Furthermore, means of transport can be provided which are set up to transport tea leaves into the drawing vessel and / or out of the drawing vessel.
  • the tea maker is preferably adapted to automatically prepare teas with loose tea leaves.
  • the tea machine preferably has a control device or
  • Control device which is adapted to control the tea machine.
  • the control device or control device can, for example, a
  • the method further comprises the steps:
  • a first infusion can now be prepared automatically, which is not output to the user of the tea machine, before a second or possibly further infusions are prepared, which are then output to the user.
  • the first infusion ie the tea beverage of the first infusion, for example, in a
  • the tea maker includes tea dispensing means adapted to dispense a tea beverage and a waste water reservoir or waste water dispensing means adapted to retain or remove water as waste water.

  • the tea maker 2 comprises the following components:
  • a drawing vessel 6 in which a sieve 8 can be arranged, a water heater 10 with a water supply 12,
  • the drawing vessel 6 may in particular in the form of a cylindrical glass or
  • Ceramic cylinder may be formed having an opening 24 for the introduction of hot water 26 into the drawing vessel 6 upwards.
  • the drawing vessel 6 has an outlet 28, via which the finished tea beverage is forwarded to the dispensing module 16.
  • a sieve 8 can be arranged or arranged.
  • the sieve 8 preferably has a recess 30 for receiving tea leaves 32.
  • the tea leaves 32 can be supplied to the tea machine 2 via the tea leaf supply device 14.
  • the tea leaves feeder 14 preferably has an opening into which a user can fill tea leaves, preferably loose tea leaves.
  • the tea leaf supply device 14 is set up such that a portion of tea leaves 30 reaches the wire 8.
  • the sieve 8 is preferably movable in the drawing vessel. In particular, the tea leaves 30 can be moved in and out with the sieve 8 into the drawing vessel 6.
  • the water heater 10 is adapted to heat water to a predetermined or predetermined drawing temperature.
  • the water heater 10 corresponding heating means, such as an electric hot plate, on.
  • Water heater 10 may for example be fed from a water reservoir or from a planned fresh water line.
  • the water supply line 12 is adapted to initiate the water heated by the water heater 10 through the opening 24 in the drawing vessel 6.

  • the dispensing module 16 has a controllable valve by means of which the dispensing time and / or the dispensing quantity can be controlled.
  • the control device 20 is configured to control the operation of the tea maker 2.
  • the control device may comprise a microprocessor and a memory connected thereto, for example a RAM or ROM memory on which a program is stored with program instructions whose execution on the microprocessor causes the control of the automatic teller 2.
  • the display and control device 22 preferably comprises input elements via which a user can request the dispensing of a tea beverage by the tea machine 2. Furthermore, the display and operating device 22 comprises a display via which the user can be informed about the operating state or about malfunctions of the tea machine 2.
  • control device or control device is preferably set up to control the steps performed by components of the tea machine 2.
