Description

A COFFEE MAKER COMPRISING A NOZZLE The present invention relates to a coffee maker comprising a nozzle. In Turkish coffee makers, coffee is prepared by cooking the mixture of coffee and water. Some of the state of the art machines which are used to prepare Turkish coffee automatically adjust the water according to the amount of coffee to be prepared, while some machine require the user to add water into the brewing pot. The characteristics of the brewing technique can change the consistency and taste of the coffee. Foam formation during brewing is also very important for Turkish coffee. Since Turkish coffee is not a homogeneous coffee due to its form, the brewing technique is of great importance. Premixing coffee with water increases the homogeneity and improves the texture of the coffee. Various Turkish coffee makers are known in the art, which enable coffee to be brewed at optimum temperature without burning. The use of various sensors is known, which ensure the foam density in accordance with the coffee's brewing technique. Thus, coffee makers are available, which automatically end the brewing process when the coffee is ready or only function as a heater. However, since Turkish coffee is insoluble in water due to its form, the problem of clumping occurs when it comes into contact with water. Since the user cannot stir the mixture in the machines where the water is automatically adjusted, the mixture is brewed without stirring. When the coffee is brewed without stirring, the clumps therein remain undissolved, causing user dissatisfaction. In the state of the art Patent Document No. TR201109954, a coffee maker is disclosed, comprising a mixer which is provided on the body and which can perform mixing during the brewing process. The aim of the present invention is the realization of a coffee maker which provides ease of use. The coffee maker realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a body; at least one brewing pot is placed into the body; a housing which is provided on the body; a heater which is provided on the body; a water tank which is provided on the body; and a control unit which is provided on the body and which controls the brewing process. The coffee brewing pot is placed into the housing. Depending on the amount of coffee to be brewed, water is automatically transferred from the water tank. The heater is positioned under the coffee brewing pot. Thus, the coffee mixture placed in the coffee brewing pot is brewed. The coffee maker of the present invention comprises at least two water delivery lines which extend from the water tank to the housing and at least two first nozzles which are provided on the part of the water delivery line opening into the housing and at least two second nozzles which are provided on the coffee brewing pot and which engage with the first nozzles. The water in the water tank is delivered to the first nozzle through the water delivery line. The water transferred from the first nozzle to the second nozzle is enabled to be delivered into the coffee brewing pot. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coffee maker comprises the first nozzle which enters the second nozzle when the coffee brewing pot is placed into the housing so as to enable the water to be transferred. The water taken from the water delivery line is delivered to the first nozzle through the second nozzle. By means of the engagement of the second nozzle and the first nozzle, the water is delivered directly into the coffee brewing pot. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coffee maker comprises a channel which is provided on the first nozzle and which is configured to have a diameter smaller than the diameter of the water delivery line so as to increase the pressure of the water coming from the water delivery line. Thus, the water coming from the water delivery line is delivered into the coffee brewing pot at a higher pressure and the coffee is dispersed in the water. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coffee maker comprises a sealing surface which is provided on the second nozzle so as to remain between the first nozzle and the second nozzle when the first nozzle is inside the second nozzle. By means of the sealing surface, the water transferred through the first nozzle is delivered directly into the coffee brewing pot through the second nozzle without scattering around. Thus, the amount of water taken from the water tank is enabled to be suitable for the amount of coffee. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coffee maker comprises a sealing member which is provided between the water delivery line and the first nozzle and which enables the water coming from the water delivery line to be delivered directly to the first nozzle. Thus, the water coming from the water delivery line is prevented from scattering around. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coffee maker com
