- the hot water addition process is a process of discharging hot water from the bypass flow path 24 to the server 28.
- the target temperature TTd of the temperature control unit 42 in the hot water step is higher than the target temperature in the subsequent period of the extraction step.
- the target temperature TTd in the hot water step is at least higher than the target temperature TTc in the latter stage of extraction, which is the last period of the extraction step.
- the target temperature TTd in the hot water step is higher than the target temperature TTb in the middle extraction period, which is the first period in the subsequent period of the extraction step.
- the target temperature TTd in the hot water step is preferably higher than the target temperature TTa in the first period of extraction, which is the first period of the extraction step, which is the case in the present embodiment.
- the target temperature TTd in the hot water step is 100 ° C.
- the flow path selection unit 44 selects the bypass flow path 24, and then the pump control unit 40 controls the pump 14 so that hot water is discharged from the bypass flow path 24 to the server 28. If the temperature of the discharged hot water drops when a large amount of hot water is discharged to the server 28 at one time in the hot water step, the pump control unit 40 pumps the water to the pump 14 with a short break. Is desirable.
- the temperature control unit 42 lowers the temperature of the hot water discharged to the dripper 26 in the middle stage and the late stage of extraction. ing.
- the temperature of the coffee beverage stored in the server may be lower than the optimum temperature.
- the target temperature in the hot water step is set higher than at least in the latter stage of extraction, that is, at least in comparison with the latter stage of extraction, instead of providing a heating means on the server stand to maintain the temperature at an appropriate temperature.
- the temperature of the coffee beverage stored in the server 28 is raised so as to approach an appropriate temperature. This has the effect that the user can taste the coffee beverage at an appropriate temperature.
- the coffee manufacturing process in the coffee beverage manufacturing apparatus 10 is completed by a series of steps from the heater preheating step to the hot water heating step described above.
- the hot water step is executed after the extraction step, but the hot water step may be executed before the extraction step. Needless to say, even in that case, since the bypass flow path preheating step is executed before the hot water step, the bypass flow path preheating step is executed before the extraction step. Further, the hot water step may be executed before and after the extraction step.
- the hot water step may be omitted.
- the coffee beverage manufacturing apparatus 10 has the operation modes of the normal mode, the American mode, and the iced coffee mode, and the operation mode determines whether or not the hot water step is executed. It has become so. Specifically, when the operation mode selection unit 46 selects the normal mode or the American mode which is the first operation mode, the hot water step is executed, and the operation mode selection unit 46 is the iced coffee which is the second operation mode. When the mode is selected, the hot water step is not executed. When the hot water addition step is not executed, at least it is not necessary for the flow path selection unit 44 to control the flow path from the main flow path 22 to the bypass flow path 24. Further, the concentration may be adjusted by increasing the amount of hot water discharged by the hot water step in the American mode as compared with the normal mode.
- the main flow path preheating step and the steaming step can be omitted, and it is possible to further provide an operation mode in which the time required for the coffee production process is shortened. Whether or not the main flow path preheating step and the steaming step are executed may also be determined according to the operation mode of the coffee beverage manufacturing apparatus 10.
- the switching of the hot water flow path is executed by the solenoid valve 20, but the hot water flow path may be switched by other means.
- both the main flow path 22 and the bypass flow path 24 may be directly connected to the water tank 12.
- a set of a pump 14, a heater 18, and a temperature sensor 36 is provided for the main flow path 22 and the bypass flow path 24, respectively.
- the pump control unit 40 when the flow path selection unit 44 selects the main flow path 22, the pump control unit 40 operates the pump 14 of the main flow path 22 to pump water from the water tank 12 to the main flow path 22, and the flow path selection unit 44 When the bypass flow path 24 is selected, the pump control unit 40 operates the pump 14 of the bypass flow path 24 to pump the water in the water tank 12 to the bypass flow path 24.
- the temperature control unit 42 controls the heater 18 of the main flow path 22 based on the temperature sensor 36 of the main flow path 22 and the target temperature, executes the main flow path preheating step, the steaming step, and the extraction step, and executes the main flow path preheating step, the steaming step, and the extraction step.
- the heater 18 of the bypass flow path 24 is controlled based on the temperature sensor 36 and the target temperature, and the bypass flow path preheating step and the hot water addition step are executed.
