As a result, the lower container 37 cools down, and the vapor pressure inside it drops, creating a vacuum effect.
The liquid then falls into the upper container 37 and is stored in the lower container 37. Therefore, after this, remove the signature device 40 from above the upper container 37, remove the upper container 37 from the tool 18, and tilt the removed lower container 37 to remove the coffee liquid. Just transfer it to a coffee cup.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the operation of transferring hot water from the lower container 37 into the upper container 40 and then separating it from the heater 17 can be performed by the actuating body 23, which requires less manual effort than the conventional method. This eliminates the need for the user to perform the operation, thereby making the user more convenient. In this case, the operation is not done manually but by the actuating body 2.
3, the timing can be kept constant, and therefore the taste of the coffee liquid can be kept constant, so that it can always be drunk deliciously.

Incidentally, the partial container 40 removed from the lower container 37 after extraction of coffee ijk can be held by inserting its water pipe 42 into the holder 18 as shown in FIG. Furthermore, at this time, since the droplet catcher 49 is located below, the droplets of coffee liquid dripping through the water shield 42 are caught in the droplet catcher 49.
This way, the table top etc. will not be soiled.

Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the present invention has been described as being applied to a coffee making machine, but the present invention can be similarly applied and carried out to other machines, for example, machines that make tea. . Even in the third case, the rock (1") for grinding raw materials such as coffee beans does not necessarily have to be provided, and the material used is not limited to shape memory alloy, for example, the lower part 1". It may be a motor or an electromagnet that is activated by detecting the transfer of hot water from the container to the upper container using a thermostat, heat-sensitive element, etc.However, if the operating body is made of a shape memory alloy, the above-mentioned heater 1
I was able to successfully change the temperature of 7, and it was t: ke 1, 1.1.
The structure can be kept simpler.
