[0030] The user installs the coffee capsule on the preset capsule accommodating mechanism 300, and then slides and pushes the capsule accommodating mechanism 300 into the installation frame 100. During the movement, the identification unit 500 identifies the type of the current capsule accommodating mechanism 300 according to the number or magnetic strength of the magnetic parts 400 on the capsule accommodating mechanism 300, and feeds back the identification result to the control system. The control system drives the pressing mechanism 200 to perform the pressing operation in a brewing method suitable for the current coffee capsule according to the identification result.
