Description

Electronic hand drip set and using method

The present invention relates to an electronic hand drip set and a method of using the same, and more particularly, to an electronic hand drip set and a method of using the same, which can set and confirm the amount of coffee beans used, water used to extract coffee beans, and extraction time.

Humans eat a variety of foods and drinks as they live. Among these beverages, coffee is particularly preferred.

Coffee was initially popularized in Europe, and the initial method of drinking coffee was to put coffee powder and sugar together in water and then cut it and drink it. In this case, it is inconvenient to leave the powder in the mouth. In order to prevent this, a method of breaking the coffee and filtering it with a cloth was devised. After that, a drip coffee was devised by putting coffee in a filter first and then pouring hot water on the filter. .

Early coffee drinking methods were mostly dark, but drip coffee had a lighter taste, and drip coffee was known to be less blemished and neat than the early coffee.

In other words, drip coffee pours water into finely ground coffee (coffee powder) to filter out the coffee powder and then extracts only the coffee.In order to extract the original taste and aroma to the maximum, a simple tool and a filter are used according to the extractor's intention. It is a method of extracting coffee using it, and it can be best used in coffee shops as well as at home because it can best express the taste according to the place of coffee production or roasting degree.

There are various types of drip apparatus for extracting drip coffee according to the drip method. The most representative method is to put a paper filter or filter paper on the dripper and place the coffee powder with the dripper placed on the drip mechanism body. The coffee is poured into the dripper to pour hot water and the coffee is poured into the server located at the bottom of the dripper as the water passes through the beans and filters contained in the dripper. In other words, when hot water is poured into the coffee powder, water pressure is applied to the coffee beans, and the coffee ingredients of the coffee beans are dissolved in the water and the coffee falls. Unlike other coffees, it is extracted by adjusting water directly with human hands, according to the basic elements-water taste, temperature of water, degree of coffee, type of filter, and how much water is poured and at what speed and how we pour coffee. Coffee taste depends.

Meanwhile, the drip extraction method includes a method using a coffee maker and a hand drip method in which the user extracts coffee by directly spraying water on the coffee powder.

The drip method using a coffee maker is a method of automatically extracting coffee by supplying coffee beans with powder and water to the coffee maker, and thus has an advantage that the extraction method is simple and can be kept warm for a long time. However, when the coffee beans are extracted and retained in large quantities, the taste and flavor of the coffee beans are significantly reduced. In addition, since water extracts the coffee while passing through the coffee powder for a long time, harmful ingredients contained in the coffee powder are extracted, and a lot of flavors are mixed in the extraction process to reduce the taste and flavor of the coffee beans.

The hand drip method is a method of dripping coffee by hand, and after the coffee powder is put in the dripper, the user pours heated water into the coffee powder using a drip pot to extract coffee. This method can adjust the spraying method of water according to the characteristics and drippers of each bean, there is an advantage that can maximize the flavor and taste of coffee than the method using a coffee maker. However, since the hand drip method drips coffee by hand, the recipe is different for each person, the amount and speed of water sprayed on the coffee powder, and the direction along the water are not constant, and it is difficult to supply water in each drip time. For this reason, the taste of coffee may vary greatly every time it is extracted, and individual differences are a big problem.

As described above, the controller 170 includes an operation button 173 and a display member 175 and is disposed in front of the base 117.

The operation button 173 is a weight operation button 173a which can be operated or set when the user senses only the desired weight among the total weight of the hand drip set 100, and a time operation button 173b which is operated when checking the time. It is preferable to consist of). Looking at the use of the operation button 173 as follows.

For example, after the user places the porter 140 and the dripper 130 on the main body 110 in the porter support part 110b and the dripper support part 110a, respectively, and mounts the filter or filter paper on the dripper 130. The weight can be set to zero by pressing the weight operation button 173a. Accordingly, the weight display member 175a displaying the weight is displayed with '0' (meaning '0'g) and after the user inputs coffee to the dripper 130, the weight of the input coffee is measured by the weight sensor 150. The weight of the detected coffee is displayed on the weight display member 175a. Therefore, the user can accurately know the weight of the raw material coffee in the dripper 130.

Then, after inputting the weight of the coffee set according to the type of coffee to the dripper 130, the user can press the weight operation button 173a again to set to zero. Accordingly, the weight display member 175a displaying the weight is displayed with '0' (meaning '0'g), and then, when the user inputs water to extract coffee to the dripper 130, the weight of the input water is weighted. The weight of the water detected by the sensor 150 and sensed on the weight display member 175a is displayed. Therefore, the user can accurately know the weight of the water injected into the dripper 130.

In addition, when the user touches the time operation button 173b to check the time at which the coffee is extracted from the dripper 130, the time is displayed on the time display member 175b. Thus, the user can check the time when the coffee is extracted.

Here, the user can know the amount of water required to call the hand drip coffee, as needed, the weight display member 175a, and can also check the time to call the coffee using the time operation button 173b.

Then, after adding water, coffee can be extracted by dropping by gravity. In this case, the weight of the added water can be known through the weight display member 175a, and the coffee is extracted through the time operation button 173b. The elapsed time from the time at which it started to be checked can be confirmed through the time display member 175b.

The display member 175 is composed of a weight display member 175a indicating weight and a time display member 175b indicating time.

Although the weight display member 175a may be set in various ranges, considering that the hand drip set 100 according to the present invention is used for home use, the weight display member 175a may display a weight of 0 to 999 g. have.

An operation process of the hand drip set 100 having such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 as follows.

First, the user places the dripper 130 on the dripper support part 110a of the main body 110 and places the porter 140 on the porter support part 110b, respectively. Next, the filter or / and filter paper required for the dripper 130 is mounted.

Then, when the user presses the weight operation button 173a for a long time and turns the power on to the controller 170, the display member 175 displays 0'00`` and 0xx. That is, the weight of the body 110, the dripper 130, the filter or / and the filter paper, and the porter 140 detected by the weight sensor 150 is displayed on the weight display member 175a as xx.

Accordingly, the user performs a zero adjustment to lightly touch the weight operation button 173a to set the weight detected by the weight sensor 150 to zero.

Accordingly, the user selects the coffee to be dipped according to the selected coffee type and sets the coffee weight by inputting the coffee while watching the weight displayed on the weight display member 175a for the coffee set in the dripper 130 (S310).

Next, the user performs a zero adjustment of the weight display member 175a or the weight sensor 150 by lightly touching the weight operation button 173a before the user inputs water into the dripper 130 to brew coffee. do.

Thus, the user may input the optimal weight of water that is set according to the type of coffee while watching the weight display member 175a (S320).

The elapsed time may be checked by the time display member 175b by lightly touching the time operation button 173b for the time of the coffee extracted in this process (S330).

Here, the user may go through a process called coffee by putting a small amount of water into the coffee of the dripper 130 to extract the coffee as needed. In this process, the user can input the weight of water required to call the coffee while looking at the weight display member 175a, and can check the time required to call the coffee while viewing the time display member 175b.

Then, as described above, the weight and time of the coffee extracted by gravity to the coffee called by adding more water can be confirmed through the weight display member 175a and the time display member 175b, respectively.

Through this process or using information from the data, the user can get an optimized recipe for each coffee, so that each recipe can be standardized.

That is, in the prior art, when using a hand drip set, the weight of coffee is separately measured by using a scale and put into the dripper 130, and the weight of water is also used by the scale of the beaker and is extracted using a separate stopwatch. In the present invention, the means for measuring or setting the weight and the means for checking or measuring the weight are integrated in one hand drip set 100.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electronic hand drip set and a method of using the same, which can set and confirm the optimum amount of coffee powder, the amount of water to be extracted and the extraction time when using the hand drip method.

In addition, it is possible to provide an easy-to-use and simple electronic hand drip set and a method of using the same.
