  • the controller 114 determines the volume of hot water to be introduced from the hot water supply 112 into the brewing chamber 124 in step 408 depending on the weight of the tea leaves and performs the brewing operation in step 410 with the accordingly set
  • the volume of water can be proportional to Weight of tea leaves are adjusted so that, for example, for a double tea leaf weight according to a double volume of water is used.
  • the tea machine 100, 100 ' is preferably adapted to receive additional parameters for the brewing process, in particular via the operating device 116. For example, can be adjusted in this way the water temperature for the brewing process depending on the type of tea used, so that a further improvement in quality of the tea beverage produced can be achieved. With the described tea machine, system and method can thus achieve a consistent tea quality, since the amount of tea leaves and the
  • volume of water for an infusion can be matched and thus over and under doses of tea leaves can be avoided.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une machine à thé (100, 100') conçue pour la préparation automatique de boissons à base de thé, la machine à thé (100, 100') étant conçue pour être remplie d'une portion de feuilles de thé (4) à infuser, et la machine à thé (100, 100') présentant un dispositif de commande (114) qui est conçu pour recevoir une valeur détectée par un dispositif de pesée (150, 350) concernant le poids d'une portion de feuilles de thé (4) introduite dans la machine à thé (100, 100'), et pour commander la machine à thé (100, 100') en fonction de cette valeur. L'invention concerne par ailleurs un système (10, 10') de préparation de boissons à base de thé comportant la machine à thé (100, 100') et un système passe-thé (20, 20') pour la machine à thé (100, 100'), le système passe-thé (20, 20') comprenant un insert passe-thé (200) qui est conçu pour recevoir une portion de feuilles de thé et pour être introduit dans un compartiment d'infusion (124) de la machine à thé (100, 100'), et la machine à thé (100, 100') ou le système passe-thé (20, 20') présentant un dispositif de pesée (150, 350) qui est conçu pour déterminer une valeur de poids d'une portion de feuilles de thé (4) introduite dans l'insert passe-thé (200) et pour l'adresser au dispositif de commande (114) de la machine à thé (100, 100'). L'invention concerne également un procédé de commande de la machine à thé (100, 100'), comprenant les étapes suivantes : la réception d'une valeur de poids d'une portion de feuilles de thé (4) introduite dans la machine à thé (100, 100'), et la commande de la machine à thé (100, 100') en fonction de la valeur de poids reçue.
