The mill time, capacity and drip pattern will be stored in ob, 522C, . . . 520C. Now, like this, the storage units 521, 522,...
A case in which coffee is manufactured based on the mill time, capacity, and drip pattern information stored in 520 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. First, a desired amount of water for 1 to 8 people (for 1 to 8 people) is poured into the water storage tank 8, and a corresponding amount of coffee beans is stored in the case 14.

After that, select push buttons 391.392.・・・・・・39
0, for example, selection push button 39. When you select and perform a suppression operation, the storage section 521 corresponding to this is selected.

Then, when the start push button 40 is depressed, the control device 46 enters the mill stroke A, and in this mill stroke A, the mill time (for example, 13 seconds) stored in the first mode area 521a of the selected storage section 521 ) is set in the mill counter 53, and the mill counter 53 starts counting the mill time and also gives an ON command signal to the signal generation circuit 54, and the signal generation circuit 54 turns on the excitation coil of the motor relay 47. 47a is energized to operate the motor relay 47. As a result, the normally open contact 47b of the motor relay 47 is turned on, and the mill 14 +5S 2
The motor 19 is energized, and the cutter 17 is rotationally driven by the motor 19 to start grinding (milling) the coffee beans in the case 14. Thereafter, when the mill counter 53 finishes counting the set mill time (for example, 13 seconds), the mill counter 53
An off command signal is now given to signal generation circuit 5.
4, the excitation coil 47a of the motor relay 47 is cut off. As a result, the normally open contact 47b of the motor relay 47 is turned off, cutting off the power to the motor 19.
Thus, the milling process fWA is completed, and the control device 46 moves on to the next drip process B. In this drip process B, first, an on/off command signal is given to the signal generation circuit 55 in accordance with the capacity stored in the second mode area 521b of the selected storage section 521. When the storage capacity is large, an ON command signal is given, and when the storage capacity is small, an OFF command signal is given. When the signal generation circuit 55 receives the ON command signal, it energizes the excitation coil 49b of the capacity switching relay 49, operates the capacity = IRJ switching relay 49, and turns on the normally open contact 49b. Also, when an off command signal is given, the excitation coil 49b of the capacity switching relay 49 is cut off, the capacity switching relay 49 is restored, and the normally open contact 49b is turned off. ing. Here, a large amount of water is stored in the second mode area 52□b of the storage unit 521 according to the total amount of water actually injected into the water storage tank 8 (for example, 8 drops). Therefore, it is assumed that the melon switching relay 49 is activated and its normally open contact 49b is turned on, thereby shorting the diode 50.

Furthermore, when moving to the above-mentioned drip process B, t8. The sheathed heater 10 is controlled as follows based on the drip pattern. For example, the third mode region 521C
When the drip pattern stored in 1147 is the regular drip pattern shown in FIG. The signal generating circuit 57 continuously energizes the excitation coil 48a to operate the heater relay 48 and continuously turn on the normally open contact 48b. As a result, the sheathed heater 10 is energized and the ancient
generates a fever. Then, when the sheathed heater 10 generates heat,
The heating plate 9 is heated, thereby preheating the bottle 4 placed on the bottle placement part 6, and at the same time heating the water in the heating pipe 11 supplied from the water storage tank 8 through the water supply pipe 12 to generate hot water. . The hot water generated as described above is heated to the hot water pipe 1 due to its boiling pressure +16i.
The hot water is supplied from the inlet 13a to the inside of the wall 25a of the lid 25, and from the pouring hole 25b to the case 1.
4 is supplied dropwise. Further, the hot water supplied into the case 14 passes through the coffee powder and the filter 21 and is extracted as coffee liquid, and this extracted coffee liquid flows out from the extraction port 24 of the case 14 and falls into the bottle 4 and is stored. Ru. In this way, when the sheathed heater 10 is continuously energized based on the regular drip pattern, hot water is continuously supplied into the case 14 and coffee liquid is extracted, the coffee liquid has a normal concentration. , so-called regular coffee can be obtained. After that, when all the water in the water storage tank 8 is consumed, the drip process B ends.

Further, when the drip pattern stored in the third mode area 521C is the strong drip pattern shown in FIG. As a result, the signal generation circuit 57 energizes the excitation coil 48a to operate the heater relay 48, and the sheathed heater 10 is energized in the same manner as described above, producing a power output of 800 watts. This generates heat, and hot water is supplied into the case 14. Thereafter, when the pattern counter 56 performs a counting operation for a certain period of time ta (for example, 1 minute), the pattern counter 56 comes to give an off command signal to the signal generation circuit 57, and the signal generation circuit 57 turns on the heater relay 48. Excitation coil 48a
The normally open contact 48b is turned off, and the sheathed heater 10 is therefore cut off and the supply of hot water into the case 14 is stopped. As a result, the hot water supplied into the case 14 by energizing the sheathed heater 10 for a certain period of time ta penetrates into the entire area of the coffee powder in the case 14 and moistens the entire coffee powder, which removes water from the coffee powder. Extraction of coffee extract is promoted.

Thereafter, when the pattern counter 56 performs a counting operation for a certain period of time tb (for example, 1 minute), the pattern counter 56
6 gives lIj and on command signals to the signal generation circuit 57, and the signal generation circuit 57 is connected to the heater relay 48.
is activated to turn on the normally open contact 48b, the sheathed heater 10 is energized, and hot water supply into the case 14 is opened by +1. After that, the pattern counter 56 continuously generates an ON command signal to turn on the normally open contact 48b of the heater relay 48, so that case 1
Hot water is continuously supplied into the chamber 4, and coffee liquid is extracted. In this way, once the entire coffee casing is moistened based on the strong drip pattern to promote the extraction of the coffee extract, hot water is continuously supplied to extract the coffee liquid. It has a higher concentration than that of coffee, and produces what is called strong coffee. after that,
When all the water in the water storage tank 8 is consumed, the drip process B ends. In this way, when the drip process B based on the regular drip pattern or the strong drip pattern is completed, the control device 46 moves to the next 1M row C, and controls the sheathed heater 10 at a predetermined constant 2. The bottle 4 is heated via the heating plate 9, and the coffee liquid in the bottle 4 is kept warm.

In addition, in the above-mentioned drip process B, the second
When the memory in the mode region 521b is a small capacity, the signal generating circuit 55 disconnects the excitation coil 49a, returns the capacity switching relay 49, and turns off its normally open contact 49b. is diode 5
0 in series and generates heat at 400 watts. Therefore, when the sheathed heater 10 has a small capacity (1 to 4 cups), it generates heat at 400 watts, and when it has a large capacity (5 to 8 cups), it generates heat at 400 watts. At times, it is switched to generate heat at 800 watts, and it is controlled so that the time required for the drip process B is approximately constant regardless of the number of people or small capacity.
