Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for user-controlled determination of a degree of roasting of coffee beans for preparing a coffee drink using a coffee machine.
- the invention further relates to a coffee machine arrangement which is set up/programmed to carry out this method and a corresponding computer program product.
- a method for the user-controlled production of a particularly liquid food product in which gustatory, olfactory and/or haptically perceptible pleasure substances are extracted from a precursor product by an automatic machine and transferred into the food product.
- the extraction of the pleasure substances is influenced by a user-controlled setting of at least two technical parameters of the machine in order to be able to produce the desired quality of the food product.
- the technical parameters required for this are set by a user-controlled electronic translation circuit, which controls the technical parameters during production based on user-selected values of the human sensory attributes and on the basis of a previously determined sensory profile of the preliminary product. This should make it possible to set a desired taste, smell or texture of the food product more precisely.
- an automatic coffee machine for preparing coffee drinks by pouring coffee powder which has a control and monitoring device which is configured in such a way that it adapts at least one operating parameter of a pre-infusion step and selects it from: A throughput of the Pre-infusion water, a quantity of the pre-infusion water and a duration of the pause at the end of the pre-infusion step and this depending on a granulometry of the coffee powder.
- a control and monitoring device which is configured in such a way that it adapts at least one operating parameter of a pre-infusion step and selects it from: A throughput of the Pre-infusion water, a quantity of the pre-infusion water and a duration of the pause at the end of the pre-infusion step and this depending on a granulometry of the coffee powder.
- the basic idea is therefore to determine the optimal degree of roasting for the preparation of a coffee product using a coffee machine using a questionnaire, which contains questions relating to the desired coffee product, in particular regarding various properties of the coffee beans to be roasted. At least two selection answers are defined for each question, from which a user can choose to answer the respective question. Depending on the answers selected by the user, a specific degree of roasting can be selected from predetermined reference roasting degrees, with the individual selection answers being linked to at least one of the predetermined reference roasting degrees. Based on this link, the reference degree of roasting as the optimal degree of roasting and thus to be selected for coffee preparation can be that of the specified reference degrees of roasting to which most of the selection answers selected by the user when answering the questionnaire are assigned.
- the method according to the invention is used for user-controlled determination of a degree of roasting of coffee beans for preparing a coffee drink using a coffee machine.
- a roasting level is selected from at least two predetermined reference roasting levels by means of user interaction and transmitted to the coffee machine.
- the coffee machine then uses coffee beans with the selected degree of roasting in the course of preparing the coffee drink.
- one of several different preparation parameter sets can be used, which, in particular optimally, is adapted for the preparation of the coffee beverage with the selected and transmitted degree of roasting or is at least better adapted than the other preparation parameter sets.
- each of the preparation parameter sets can include a specific grinding degree setting of a, preferably automatically, adjustable grinder.
- At least two different reference degrees of roasting are predefined.
- at least two questions are predefined.
- At least two selection answers are given for each predefined question, with each selection answer being assigned at least one of the predefined reference roasting levels.
- the individual questions and the predetermined selection answers assigned to these questions are linked to specific reference roasting levels, so that the selection answer selected by the user takes into account the choice of the correct reference roasting level as the roasting level for coffee preparation.
- this includes two measures a) and b).
- the specified questions are displayed to a user in a display unit.
- one of the at least two different reference degrees of roasting is selected as the degree of roasting to be transmitted to the coffee machine, depending on the selection answers selected by the user using an input unit to the individual questions displayed one after the other in measure a).
- the user can select two or more of the predetermined selection answers. This allows the questionnaire with the questions to be answered to be designed more flexibly.
- the reference roasting level is selected as the roasting level for which the largest number of selection answers assigned to this reference roasting level was determined in sub-measure b1).
- At least one of the predetermined questions relates to a type of coffee to be produced using the coffee beans. Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, at least one of the predetermined questions relates to a desired brightness of the coffee beans. Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, at least one of the predetermined questions relates to the type of bean to be used. Alternatively or additionally, in this embodiment, at least one of the predetermined questions relates to the flavor of the coffee beans to be used.
- At least five reference degrees of roasting preferably at least the following five reference degrees of roasting, can be predefined: very light roasting; light roast; medium roast, so balanced; dark roast, so intense/spicy; very dark roast, so distinctive/strong/powerful.
- the method can preferably be carried out in a mobile phone, with the display device and the input unit particularly preferably being able to be formed by a touch-sensitive display of the mobile phone.
- the degree of roasting determined in measure b) is preferably stored in the mobile phone before the degree of roasting is transmitted to the coffee machine.
- the invention further relates to a coffee machine arrangement with a coffee machine for preparing a coffee product from coffee beans, the coffee machine being set up to produce the coffee product from coffee beans with at least two different degrees of roasting.
- the arrangement according to the invention comprises a device which is set up/programmed to carry out the method according to the invention presented above and which can be connected or connected to the coffee machine in a data-transmitting manner in order to transmit the determined degree of roasting to the coffee machine.
- the device is or comprises a mobile phone.
- 1 shows an example of an arrangement according to the invention
- 2 shows a table illustrating the method according to the invention, from which the linking of various selection answers given to a respective question in a questionnaire with possible reference degrees of roasting can be seen
- Fig. 3 is a flow chart of the method according to the invention.
- FIG 1 illustrates a roughly schematic, simplified representation of an example of a coffee machine arrangement 6 according to the invention.
- This arrangement 6 comprises an extremely simplified coffee machine 1 for preparing a coffee product from coffee beans.
- the coffee machine 1 is designed to produce the coffee product from coffee beans with at least two different degrees of roasting RG.
- the arrangement according to the invention comprises a device 7 which is set up and programmed to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the device 7 is a mobile phone 4.
- the mobile phone 4 is connected to the coffee machine 1 in a data-transmitting manner - preferably by means of a wireless data connection such as "Bluetooth".
- the method according to the invention is used for user-controlled determination of a degree of roasting of coffee beans for preparing a coffee drink using a coffee machine.
