Description

[0001] APPARATUS FOR TAMPING COFFEE [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a coffee tamping apparatus, and more particularly, to a coffee tamping apparatus capable of uniformly applying tamping pressure in a horizontal direction for tamping.

In recent years, interest in coffee has been increasing as coffee consumption has increased sharply. In particular, espresso is increasingly in demand due to its unique deep coffee aroma and various flavors. Espresso, a kind of coffee beans, is a coffee that has been pulverized and passed through high-pressure water to a compressed coffee powder. Tamping work is essential to make espresso. Tamping is the process of putting coffee powder in a Porter Filter. The penetration time of water can be made different depending on the strength of the tamping. When the tamping is weakened, it is transmitted quickly. When it is hardened, it is slowly permeated to extract a richer taste.

Conventionally, the handle portion of the porter filter was held with one hand and supported on the corner of the table, and the tamper was held with the other hand while being kept flat and pressed with a constant force. However, when the tamping operation is performed as described above, it is difficult to adjust the horizontal position, which affects the quality of the coffee. Also, the tamping pressure must be changed according to the kind of the bean and the degree of grinding, and it has been difficult to adjust the tamping pressure according to the prior art.

An aspect of the present invention is to provide a coffee tamping apparatus capable of uniformly applying a tamping pressure in a horizontal direction.

Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a tamping device capable of finely adjusting the tamping pressure according to the type of bean and the degree of grinding.

A coffee tamping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pressing portion formed with a flat bottom surface, a gripable grip portion, a connecting portion connecting the pressing portion and the handle portion and extending in one direction, Damping Tampere; And a tamping auxiliary part which is formed at one end of the guide part to surround the pressing part and includes a coupling part to be mounted on the porter filter and guides the tamper along the extending direction of the coupling part.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, the tamping pressure can be uniformly applied in the horizontal direction, and the tamping pressure can be finely adjusted according to the kind of the bean and the degree of grinding. Therefore, the taste of coffee can be extracted steadily and stably.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual view showing a coffee tamping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a coffee tamping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The coffee tamping apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tamper 100 and a tamping auxiliary portion 200.

The tamper 100 includes a pressing portion 110, a handle 120, and a connecting portion 130. The pressing portion 110 is a mechanism for pressing coffee filled in the potter filter 20.

The pressing portion 110 is a portion where a flat bottom surface is formed to directly contact the coffee filled in the potter filter 20 and the handle portion 120 is a portion to be grasped when the user presses the coffee with the tamper 100. The connection part 130 connects the pressing part and the handle part and is formed to extend in one direction. Although the connection part 130 is formed in a cylindrical shape in the present embodiment, the connection part 130 is not limited thereto and may be formed into a column shape having various shapes such as a polygonal shape and an elliptical shape. The size of the cross section of the pressing portion 110 and the handle 120 may be larger than the cross section of the connection portion 130. [

A fixing groove 132 may be formed along the periphery of the side surface of the connection part 130. The fixing groove 132 is fixed to the tamping auxiliary part 200 before the tamper 100 is pressed by the bearing part 212 formed on the inner wall surface of the guide part 210 described later.

The connection part 130 is coupled to the elastic body 140. The elastic body 140 provides a restoring force so that the pressing force of the pressed tamper 100 can be restored when the pressing force is removed.

The tamping auxiliary part 200 includes guide part 210 and engaging part 220 as a means for guiding to move along the pressing direction of the tamper 100.

The guide part 210 has an inner hollow shape, and a connection part 130 is inserted into the guide part 210. And is formed in a shape corresponding to the columnar shape of the connection part 130. In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that it is formed into a cylindrical shape. One end of the guide part 210 is connected to a coupling part 220 which surrounds the pressing part 110 and is mounted on the porter filter. The tamping auxiliary part 200 and the porter filter 20 may be combined while inserting the porter filter rim into the inner space of the coupling part 220.

When the coffee tamping device 10 according to the present embodiment is mounted on the porcelain filter 20 for tamping coffee, when the engaging portion 220 is attached to the porcelain filter and the tamper 100 is pressed, Is pressed in the pressing direction by the connecting portion (130) inserted into the guide portion (210). The coffee powder in the potter filter 20 is pressed by the tamper 100 and can be uniformly pressed in the horizontal direction by the guide portion 210. [ The tampers 100 can be moved a distance corresponding to the difference in length between the guide portion 210 and the connection portion 130.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tamping supporter 200 is hinged at one end of the bisecting portion, so that the tamper 100 is inserted into the tamping auxiliary portion 200, The auxiliary portion 200 can cover the tamper 100.

The guide portion 210 has a bearing portion 212 disposed on an inner wall surface thereof and the bearing portion 212 contacts the side surface of the connection portion 130 to smoothly move the tamper 100. The bearing portion 212 may be formed in a ring shape along the inner wall surface of the guide portion 210, and a plurality of bearings 212 may be formed along the longitudinal direction of the guide portion 210.

FIGS. 3 to 5 are conceptual diagrams showing a modified example of a tamping auxiliary unit constituting the coffee tamping apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the tamping auxiliary part 200 may have a coupling groove 224 formed at a portion thereof contacting the porter filter 20 in the side wall part 222 of the coupling part 220, and the porter filter 20 The tamping auxiliary part 200 and the porter filter 20 can be combined with each other.

As shown in FIG. 4, a fixing bar 232 for firmly fixing the connection part 130 of the tamper 100 may be formed in the guide part 210 of the tamping auxiliary part 200. The fixing bar 232 may be formed in a bar shape extending along the longitudinal direction of the guide part 210 and may be disposed along the inner wall surface of the guide part 210. The fixing bar 232 is coupled to an inner wall surface of the guide portion 210 through an elastic member 214. The elastic member 214 can receive the tamper 100 having connection portions 130 of various thicknesses.

5, the guiding portion 210 of the tamping auxiliary portion 200 is adjusted in length to adjust the difference in length between the guide portion 210 and the connecting portion 130, and accordingly, the tamper 100 moves The distance that can be adjusted is adjusted. Whereby the fine adjustment of the pressure of the tamper 100 can be easily operated.

FIG. 6 is a state diagram showing a state in which a coffee-tamping device according to an embodiment of the present invention is mounted on a potter filter to perform a tamping operation.

To tampon the coffee, the coffee-tamping device 10 according to the present embodiment is mounted on the porter filter 20 as shown in Fig. When the engaging portion 220 is attached to the porter filter and the tamper 100 is pressed, the tamper 100 is pushed in the pressing direction by the connecting portion 130 inserted into the guide portion 210, The coffee powder C is pressed by the tamper 100.
