The information is transmitted to the control unit, and based on the transmitted information, the control unit dispenses the cup from the cup dispenser, and then extracts a mixture of coffee, prim, or sugar selected by the user into the dispensed cup. By withdrawing the cup containing the extracted coffee through it can purchase the desired coffee.

However, such a conventional coffee vending machine is somewhat insufficient to feel the inherent taste of coffee.

For example, in the case of coffee accommodated in a coffee container, since the mixing coffee is used instead of the coffee beans, there is a problem in that it is not possible to feel the inherent taste of the coffee beans.

Accordingly, there has been a vending machine to feel the taste of the coffee beans, for example, a coffee bean vending machine, which is registered Patent No. 10-0624218.

You can feel the delicate taste that you can not evenly.

In addition, Dutch coffee is low in caffeine and can be stored for a long time. Caffeine in coffee occurs when it meets water above 80 ℃. Because Dutch coffee uses cold water or bottled water at room temperature, it occurs less than coffee extracted with warm water. Because.

However, Dutch coffee, which can feel the unique taste of coffee beans, has a long time to extract a cup of coffee, so it has to be waited for a long time to drink a cup of Dutch coffee. There is a limited number of places to sell and the price is also expensive, there is a problem that has not been popularized.

As a conventional technology of Dutch coffee, there has been devised a Dutch apparatus and a method of manufacturing Dutch coffee using the same, which is formed on the main body and water is stored on top of the main body to inject the water An inlet, an outlet formed at the lower end of the body, through which the water is discharged, a first control valve formed above the outlet, and controlling the extraction rate of the water discharged through the outlet, and the first control valve The control unit is configured to store a food and beverage material so that the food and beverage is extracted by the water falling from the main body, and the lower end of the basket consists of a second control valve for adjusting the extraction rate of the food and beverage to be extracted.
