Abstract

La présente invention concerne une machine à infuser le thé 101. L'invention porte sur un appareil qui permet d'ajouter sélectivement des ingrédients à partir d'une interface utilisateur ou d'un code à barres/d'un code QR qui est généré conformément à une recette de l'utilisateur. Pour infuser le thé, le principal ingrédient nécessaire est du thé en poudre, qui est emballé et scellé à l'intérieur d'une tasse à thé ou qui est distribué par un distributeur intégré dans l'appareil. Les autres ingrédients sont de l'eau chaude, du lait et du sucre ; l'eau chaude est ajoutée à la tasse à thé au moyen d'eau passant par un débitmètre et un générateur de vapeur. Ensuite, la quantité de lait mesurée est ajoutée à la tasse à thé à partir d'un réservoir de lait qui est placé sur un dynamomètre. En outre, la tasse ou le récipient à thé contenant un mélange de feuilles de thé, d'eau chaude et/ou de lait peut être porté à ébullition par immersion d'une cartouche chauffante ou d'un crayon chauffant ou par un dispositif de chauffage par induction. Enfin, le mélange est filtré à l'aide d'un système de tasses emboîtables, d'un système à piston jetable, d'un sachet de thé non tissé ou d'une passoire.
