Description

Brewing machine with brewing multi-cup function

The present invention relates to a brewing machine, and more particularly to a brewing machine capable of brewing a plurality of cups of different flavors of coffee at the same time.

As life gets busy, when people get up in the morning, most of them need to drink a refreshing drink such as coffee, tea, etc., so that the sense of chaos when getting up in the morning disappears and restores the spirit. Among them, coffee is the most accepted, so many coffee shops have shopped.

At present, the way of brewing coffee can be divided into manual brewing or machine brewing. Taking artificial brewing as an example: the coffee powder is placed in a filter cup, and the hot water is injected into the coffee powder on the filter cup by artificial water injection, so that the coffee is dripped into the empty cup to complete the brewing coffee. Since the coffee powder used for each flavor of coffee has different brewing techniques, although the artificial brewing method can release the flavor of the coffee powder to the utmost extent, there is a low brewing efficiency and taste and quality. Can't take care of it.

Taking machine brewing as an example: placing the coffee powder in a vehicle and installing it on the coffee machine, the coffee is dripped into the empty cup by hot water stamping. Machine brewing can brew coffee quickly compared to manual brewing. However, each time it can only brew a cup, and the different flavors of coffee powder can not effectively release its flavor, and coffee can only be used for refreshment, but not Enjoy the best coffee flavors.

In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a brewing machine having a brewing multi-cup function through which a plurality of cups of coffee can be simultaneously and automatically brewed, and a power unit is passed through the brewing machine.
