Description

Coffee equally distributing tool

The present invention relates to coffee.

In general, coffee is powdered by roasting the fruit of a coffee tree, and has a unique scent, and is widely used as a raw material for tea. Depending on the extraction method, these coffees are roughly classified into drip coffee extracted by a method such as hand drip, cold brew extracted by touch coffee brewed with cold water, and espresso extracted by an espresso machine. Can be.

Such coffee is extracted into drinkable coffee by adding water in a container. For example, as a container, a coffee powder tank of a Dutch coffee machine or a porter filter of an espresso machine are known.

However, since the density of the coffee in the container is not uniform, when water is added, the extraction is concentrated to the coffee in the relatively low density, and the coffee in the relatively high density cannot be involved in the extraction, and the coffee is wasted. There is a problem that the coffee is brewed weakly.

For example, in the case of espresso extraction, if coffee powder is convexly placed in the porter filter, which is one of the containers, and pressed with a tamper, the coffee powder contained in the center of the porter filter is compressed more and the coffee contained in the center of the porter filter There is a problem that the density of the powder becomes larger than that of the coffee powder contained in the edge, and the distribution is uneven even if the coffee powder is put flat on the porter filter, and thus, there is a problem that a narrow channeling occurs in the pressed coffee during the tamping process. have. In particular, when a porter filter containing coffee after the tamping process is attached to the espresso machine and high-temperature and high-pressure water is added, the coffee in the center with a relatively high density is concentrated as the extraction is concentrated through the coffee at the edge or the flow path with a relatively low density. B. There is a problem that coffee is wasted because it is not involved in brewing, and espresso is brewed weakly.
