Abstract

La présente invention concerne un extracteur automatique pourvu d'un filtre accueillant un objet devant subir une extraction. Ce filtre est disposé sous un bec verseur d'eau chaude par lequel on vient verser de l'eau chaude contenue dans un réservoir d'eau en ébullition. Sous le filtre se trouve une base sur laquelle on a disposé une tasse devant recueillir le liquide extrait. On fait bouger le bec verseur selon des axes X et Y pendant qu'on fait passer l'eau par le bec pour la verser sur l'objet de façon en décrivant des cercles de façon à faire arriver l'eau sur la totalité de l'objet. On obtient ainsi un café ou un thé parfumé et corsé.
