Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a coffee powder shaping and compaction device, and in particular to a device that is able to shape and compact coffee powder uniformly. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, brewing concentrated coffee simply involves grinding coffee beans into a fine powder and then injecting hot water into the coffee grounds to extract the substances in the coffee grounds. To ensure adequate contact of the hot water with the coffee grounds and shorten the extraction time, the coffee grounds must be formed into a uniform, consistent powder foundation before being extracted, usually at a pressure of 9 atmospheres.

[0003] When coffee powder is made into a powder base, a distributor usually first uniformly stirs the coffee powder in the powder cup, then a pressure filling machine compresses the coffee powder in the powder cup, and the powder base is then placed in the coffee machine. Because the powder base is uniform and solid, it can ensure that hot water is extracted stably and with uniform pressure onto the coffee powder during the extraction process, resulting in coffee with a consistent taste.

[0004] As described above, the distributor and pressure filler can effectively shape the coffee powder into a powder foundation, but the distributor and pressure filler must be operated manually by the user, which can adversely affect the production efficiency of concentrated coffee when the user prepares a large amount of concentrated coffee. Furthermore, according to existing technology, related companies can manufacture automatic pressure fillers that can pressure-fill powdered coffee powder into a powder foundation on behalf of the user, but this requires the user to evenly stir the coffee powder with the distributor and then frequently load the powder cup into the automatic pressure filler, which is very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In conventional concentrated coffee machines, coffee powder is shaped and compressed into a powder foundation, and then concentrated coffee is extracted under high pressure. However, the operations of powder compacting and pressure-filling are performed by a distributor and a pressure-filling machine, respectively. Although automatic pressure-filling machines automatically compact the shaped coffee powder, the user must manually compact the powder. Since the powder compacting and pressure-filling operations are then performed independently, even when pressure-filling is performed by a pressure-filling machine or an automatic pressure-filling machine, the coffee-making process becomes more complicated and takes more time. Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a coffee powder compacting and compression device that can continuously perform the operations of powder compacting and pressure-filling, thereby improving the efficiency of effectively forming coffee powder into a powder foundation.

[0093] In addition, the coffee powder shaping and compacting device of the present invention, in addition to independently compacting and shaping coffee powder, can also be practically integrated into an automatic coffee machine, so that coffee can be extracted using the powder foundation produced by the powder compaction and compaction.

[0094] The detailed description of the above preferred specific embodiments will help to understand the features and spirit of the present invention, but the scope of the claims of the present invention is not limited by the above preferred specific embodiments, and various equivalent changes and modifications are also included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
