Description

Brewing device

The invention relates to a brewing device, in particular to a brewing device that can improve the extraction efficiency of food materials and can improve the flavor and taste of tea soup.

Coffee has become a daily drink. The unique flavor of hand brewed coffee is very popular among coffee lovers. Generally, hand brewed beverage utensils are mostly cone-shaped (or V-shaped). The inner side of the cone-shaped filter cup has ribs. The shape filter paper is placed in the filter cup, and the filter paper is attached to the ribs. The ribs support the filter paper to form a gap between the filter paper and the filter cup to form a flow space for the coffee liquid. The coffee powder is filled into the filter paper, and the beverage cup is placed on the electronic scale. , The filter cup with coffee powder is placed on the beverage cup, and then the hot water of suitable temperature is poured from the middle of the filter cup with a hand pot, and the coffee powder is wetted and soaked for the first time (or commonly known as stuffy in the shop). Steaming), after a suitable period of time, use a hand-flushing pot to inject water one or more times according to personal preference. The amount of water in each section is based on the weight displayed on the electronic scale, that is, the cc number as a reference for water injection.

However, in the above-mentioned brewing device, the coffee powder is placed in the filter paper. In order to facilitate the filling of water, the coffee powder will not fill the entire filter paper. The upper part of the filter paper will be vacant. When the amount of water injected per unit time is large, part of the hot water When the coffee is extracted by flowing downward, a part of it will flow out from the side, especially the hot water in the uppermost side stream is ineffective extraction or low-efficiency extraction.

In addition, the coffee powder also forms a cone shape when placed in the conical filter cup. When the hand-made coffee brewing process is carried out, hot water is poured from the upper end, and the hot water penetrates into the coffee powder to extract coffee. The powder cross-section analysis shows that the coffee powder at the center and the bottom of the cone is the thickest, and the coffee powder at the periphery of the cone is the thinnest. The extraction time of the coffee powder at the center is the longest when the coffee is extracted with hot water. The coffee liquid may be bitter due to excessive extraction. The outermost coffee powder has the shortest extraction time, which may cause insufficient extraction. Both over-extraction and under-extraction will affect the flavor and taste of coffee. In addition, when the coffee is brewed, water is poured around the hand pot, which also has the disadvantage of uneven water filling.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a brewing device aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, which can make the water injection uniform and improve the extraction efficiency of food materials without the problems of excessive extraction and insufficient extraction, thereby improving the flavor and taste of the tea soup.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a brewing device, including: a filter cup set, the filter cup set includes a filter cup and a placing plate, the filter cup has a filter cup cylinder, the filter cup cylinder An accommodating space is formed inside the filter cup cylinder for accommodating food materials.
