The operation of the coffee extractor configured as described above will be described. First, water is put in the water container 14 and set in the main body 1. Then, the coffee beans are put into the holder 7 and attached to the main body 1, and the cup for receiving the coffee is visually placed under the drip opening 8. Then, when the pump 3 and the heater 4 are energized and the switching valve 5 is switched to the coffee side, water is sent to the water channel 2 and is boiled and supplied to the holder 7. Then, coffee is extracted in the holder 7, dropped from the dropping port 8 and collected in the cup placed on the cup holder 10. When the cup is removed after the coffee has been extracted, the coffee in the holder 7 becomes drops and drops on the cup holder 10. The dropped coffee passes through the hole 13 of the cup holder 10 and enters the drainage tray 9. Pour in. Further, by switching the switching valve 5 to the drain side, the hot water in the water channel 2 is drained to the drain tray 9. When the drainage in the drainage tray 9 increases, the boundary line between the drainage and the air appears inside the cylindrical portion 12 provided in the confirmation hole 11, and the amount of the drainage can be known. If only the confirmation hole 11 is provided without providing the tubular portion 12, it is difficult to see the boundary line between the drainage and the air, and it is difficult to confirm the drainage amount. However, the boundary line between the drainage and the air inside the tubular portion 12 collects in the drainage tray 9. It is possible to reliably know the amount of discharged water. Therefore, the drainage in the drainage tray 9 is prevented from overflowing, and the drainage is prevented from being spilled when the drainage tray 9 becomes so full that it is noticed and the drainage tray 9 is to be discarded.

That is, when the cup is placed on the drainage tray 9, if it is placed on the confirmation hole 15, the cup will be located directly below the dropping port 8, and the cup and the dropping port 8 will be displaced and the coffee will be spilled. Will not happen. Further, when the coffee drips from the dripping port 8 after removing the cup, the coffee drops not on the surface of the cup holder 10 but on the confirmation hole 15, so that the dropped coffee does not adhere to the surface of the cup holder 10. It can prevent the bottom of the cup from getting dirty.
