Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the case of the above configuration, the opening operation of the main body case cover needs to be performed manually, that is, the hot water discharge pipe does not move automatically unless the main body case cover is opened by hand. is there. If the main body case cover is accidentally opened during coffee extraction, the hot water discharge pipe moves to the retracted position, and the hot water is scattered outside the coffee basket, which may cause burns.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and even when the hot water discharge pipe is at the retracted position, the hot water discharge pipe can be returned to the regular set position by simply closing the body case cover. You can do this by operating the open / close button on the main unit case cover, and then unlocking the main unit case cover and the main unit case automatically returns the hot water discharge pipe to the stop position, and at the same time, pushes the main unit case cover with this force. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a coffee brewer that is very easy to use since it automatically opens so that the main case cover can be opened. Another object of the present invention is to provide a coffee brewer in which hot water does not scatter even when the main body case cover is opened during extraction.

To this end, the present invention provides a set member on the inner surface of the main body case cover, which comes into contact with and presses the hot water discharge pipe by the closing operation of the main body case cover to forcibly swing it to the set position. An urging member is provided to move the hot water discharge pipe to the retracted position side when the opening / closing button is operated, and the hot water discharge pipe does not stop on the coffee basket. The set member of the case cover is pushed.

In the coffee brewer according to the present invention, the main body case cover is provided with the setting member and the hot water discharge pipe urging member, so that when the main body case cover is opened, only the open / close button is operated and the hot water discharge pipe is opened. When the main body case cover is opened, the main body case cover is moved to the stop position at the same time, and when the main body case cover is closed, the hot water discharge pipe is pressed by the set member and is forcibly set to the regular set position. Therefore, there is no failure and usability is very good.
Furthermore, when the extraction is completed, the main body case cover will open automatically just by operating the open / close button, making it a very convenient coffee brewer. Even if the main body case cover is opened during extraction, the hot water discharge pipe stops on the filter case, so the hot water spouted from the hot water discharge pipe falls onto the coffee basket and there is no risk of burns, etc. It becomes a simple structure.
