Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of capsule drawers, and more particularly to a water outlet structure for a capsule drawer. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, capsule coffee machines have gained popularity due to their ability to quickly and easily produce high-quality coffee. However, most existing capsule coffee machines are semi-automatic. The operation involves first placing a coffee capsule or coffee grounds into a drawer-type structure, where the liquid enters for extraction. After brewing, the drawer is manually pulled out to remove the capsule or empty the coffee grounds. However, some machines only allow direct brewing of the capsule. If the user needs to add hot water after extraction, a separate machine is required, preventing simultaneous operation and limiting the possibility of using two different water dispensing methods within a single machine, thus failing to meet diverse user needs.
