The disclosure relates to the technical field of life utensils, and particularly to an intelligent coffee and tea measuring cup.
With an improvement of people's living standards, tea and coffee have become a favorite of contemporary people. Because the coffee contains a small amount of caffeine, the caffeine can stimulate the central nervous system, heart and respiratory system to reduce muscle fatigue and promote a secretion of digestive juices. Therefore, the coffee has become a popular drink for many workers, and the coffee, as the popular drink in the world, has also been loved by many people.
However, when the coffee or the tea is brewed, due to a lack of a measuring tool, the proportion of the tea and hot water, coffee powder and hot/cold water or milk or sugar added in a cup is uneven, which affects a taste of the coffee or the tea. If a user prepares coffee or tea with taste suitable for the user, a measuring tool needs to be additionally purchased, which leads to increased costs, takes up space, and is inconvenient to carry. In addition, the user needs to use the measuring tool to mix the proportion at a specific location, and the proportion of the coffee and the tea cannot be accurately prepared based on the hand feeling of the user, which cannot meet the daily specific taste of the coffee and the tea for the user. At present, there are some intelligent water cups on the market with a weighing function, but it is impossible to record habits of the user and record the proportion of the coffee or the tea prepared by the user. When the coffee or tea is prepared, the weighing needs to be manually memorized, so that the weighing is cumbersome, the function is relatively simple, and the requirements of the user cannot be met. Therefore, it is necessary to design an intelligent coffee and tea measuring cup.
In order to meet a daily specific taste of coffee or tea of user, record a weight ratio of each ingredient in a preparation of coffee or tea to set the weight ratio to meet an experience of the user, and overcome the problems that need to purchase additional measuring tools, a problem resulting in increased costs, a space taken by the additional measuring tools and inconvenience to carry.

A total weight displayed on the display unit 60 is 320 grams, of which 20 grams are the specific gravity of coffee powder and 300 grams are the specific gravity of hot water. First, the coffee powder is poured into the metal cup liner 20, the coffee powder is accurately weighed through the weighing unit 30, and the signal is fed back to the circuit board. As the amount of coffee powder poured increases, the reciprocal counter counts down, and the countdown value is displayed on the display unit 60 until the value reaches the set value of 300 from 320. After reaching the accurate value of 300, the alarmer sends an alarm to remind the user that the appropriate weight of coffee powder has been reached, and then hot water is added into the metal cup liner 20. The reciprocal counter performs countdown until the value reaches the set value of 0 from 300. After reaching the accurate value of 0, the alarmer sends the alarm to remind the user that the appropriate weight of hot water has been reached. After completion, the display unit 60 displays the time and the temperature of the brewing coffee. The time of brewing coffee can be set according to the taste of the user, for example, 3 minutes, the time of brewing coffee is counted down, the user closes the locked lid 7032 to further blend the coffee powder and the hot water to thereby improve the taste of the coffee, when the accurate value is reached, the alarmer reminds the user that the coffee can be drunk. It should be noted that if the user often only drinks pure coffee, the taste can be set to 1. If the user is accustomed to drinking coffee with fresh milk, the taste can be set to 2. If the user is still accustomed to adding sugar to pure coffee, the taste can be set to 3. If the user also drinks coffee with other flavors, the taste can be set according to habits of the user. When setting the taste, the user needs to input the weight ratio into the record storage to prepare coffee that is suitable for the taste of the user. In addition, when preparing coffee, the weight value of the funnel inserted on the cup mouth 701 is reset to zero.
When preparing tea, the set record is called out through the display unit 60, for example, the set taste is 11, and the set 11 is called out. A total weight displayed on display unit 60 is 315 grams, of which 15 grams are the specific gravity of the tea and 300 grams are the specific gravity of hot water. First, the tea is poured into the metal cup liner 20, the tea is accurately weighed through the weighing unit 30, and the signal is fed back to the circuit board. As the amount of tea poured increases, the reciprocal counter counts down, and the countdown value is displayed on the display unit 60 until the value reaches the set value of 300 from 315. After reaching the accurate value of 300, the alarmer sends the alarm to remind the user that the appropriate tea weight has been reached, and then hot water is added to the metal cup liner 20. The reciprocal counter performs countdown until the value reaches the set value of 0 from 300. After reaching the accurate value of 0, the alarmer sends an alarm to remind the user that the appropriate weight of hot water has been reached. After completion, the display unit 60 displays the time and temperature of the prepared tea. The time of brewing tea can be set according to the taste of the user, such as 90 seconds, the time of brewing tea is counted down, the user closes the locked lid 7032, and when the countdown reaches the value of 00 second, the alarmer reminds the user that the tea can be drunk.
