Embodiment Construction

[0045] figure 1 is a general flow diagram of the components within the espresso machine 100 according to an example embodiment. The espresso machine 100 includes a water reservoir 105 . In one embodiment, the water reservoir 105 is in fluid communication with the flow meter 110. Water may flow from flow meter 110 to pump 115 . In some embodiments, pump 115 may include a return line 120 to allow water to circulate back to reservoir 105 as needed.

[0046] Water may be pumped from pump 115 to the input of water heater 125, which in this embodiment is a heating block in which the water is heated to the desired temperature. The heated water may then flow from the output of the heating block 125 to the valve mechanism 130. In an example embodiment, valve mechanism 130 may output water to one or more different destinations. For example, valve mechanism 130 may direct water to a first destination, namely, a brewing head (including funnel holder 135 and funnel arm 140 in one embo...

Abstract

An espresso machine is provided that utilizes a mechanical valve in addition to a flow meter. This results in a low-cost espresso machine while delivering a measured volume of water for the espresso pour. The mechanical valve facilitates a machine with both selectable espresso pour and steam and / or hot water outlets. In this embodiment, the espresso machine utilizes a shared pump and water heater (e.g., a thermoblock, boiler or similar) for multiple functions and / or through different outlets. For example, water from the reservoir may be sent through the flow meter to the pump, then to the water heater, and eventually to either the grouphead or steam wand, or to a pressure release.

Description

[0001] This application is the PCT application with the international application number PCT / AU2018 / 050453, the international application date is May 14, 2018, and the PCT application titled "Espresso Machine with Quantitative Mechanism" entered the Chinese national phase on December 23, 2019 Subsequent application number 201880042037.7 is a divisional application of the Chinese national phase patent application. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates to an espresso machine, and more particularly to an espresso machine having a dosing mechanism and a steam wand. Background technique [0003] In a standard espresso machine, the flow of water typically proceeds as follows: tank → pump → heating block → control valve. The control valve then diverts the water to the brewing head of the machine for espresso brewing and then to the main water spout, or to the steam wand for dispensing hot water or steam. Coffee makers known in the art follow two basic outlet-sele...
