Knock Box of Porter Filter for Coffee Machine

The present invention relates to a knock box of a porter filter for a coffee machine, and more particularly, to a knock box for separating coffee grounds from a porter filter containing coffee powder mounted on a coffee machine.

In general, the coffee machine (Coffee Machine) is a machine for making a variety of coffee to extract coffee at high pressure in a short time. Depending on the extraction method, it can be divided into capsules, pods, semi-automatic and fully automatic, and make coffee such as espresso, latte, macchiato, and mocha. Moreover, the coffee machine is the flower of espresso coffee. It is at the pinnacle of how coffee, which has undergone a series of complex, demanding and cumbersome processes such as production, refining, roasting and blending, is finally reborn into a cup of espresso. It is regarded as the most scientific, rational and economical alternative to the various coffee extraction tools developed by humans.

The Porter Filter, mounted on the group head of the coffee machine, is a filter that holds coffee and has a handle. When installing the porter filter on the group head of the coffee machine, it is better to install it with the right hand first and then apply the force with the left hand. It is stable in posture and less strain on the wrist. When installing the porter filter on the group head, care should be taken not to impact the group in particular. Hard bumps or impacts can cause cracked coffee and cracks in the coffee and filter edges. The water then flows to the cracks or gaps first, making the taste lighter. It is safe to use your right hand to discard coffee grounds after extraction. That way you can brew a lot of coffee without straining your wrists or shoulders. Discard any remaining coffee grounds before dispensing the next coffee. If the waste is discarded immediately after extraction, the remaining pressure in the machine causes the waste to flow back and stick to the group head. If the next extraction time is delayed more than 5 minutes after extraction, discard the residue in the porter filter, wash it with water and install it in the group. If you leave the grounds too long, the coffee grounds will dry out and harden in the porter filter.

Therefore, after extracting the coffee, the porter filter is separated from the group head of the coffee machine, and then the coffee grounds remaining in the basket of the porter filter are dropped while impacting the knock box, and the coffee grounds remaining inside the basket with a brush or the like. Drop it.

Conventionally, in the process of dropping the coffee grounds remaining in the porter filter on the knock box, the coffee grounds were thrown out of the knock box, causing problems in the cleaning and hygiene of the knock box and the surroundings.
