Description

Automatic Powder Machine

The present invention relates to an automatic powder machine, and more specifically, to an automatic powder machine that includes a configuration that can accurately measure and provide powder mixed in food and beverages.

Generally, a coffee machine includes a grinding unit that grinds coffee beans into coffee powder, a discharge unit that discharges the ground coffee powder in an appropriate amount, an extraction unit that supplies hot water to the discharged coffee powder to extract coffee liquid, and the extracted coffee machine. It includes a discharge unit that discharges coffee.

In this type of coffee machine, the concentration of the coffee liquid is determined at the discharge part that discharges the coffee powder.

However, conventional coffee machines are configured so that the amount of coffee powder discharged is fixed to a certain amount when manufacturing the coffee machine or can be adjusted after disassembling the entire device, so it is not only difficult for general consumers to control the amount of coffee powder discharged, but also There were problems such as various inconveniences for people who tried to enjoy coffee according to their taste.

To solve this problem, a product including the structure shown in FIG. 1 was developed.

In the case of the grinder according to the prior art shown in FIG. 1, coffee beans are input in the amount desired by the user and then ground, and the ground powder is used for coffee production.

However, the grinder according to the prior art cannot provide accurately measured powder, and has the problem that the amount of powder is simply determined depending on the user's skill level.
