MODULAR MANUFACTURING OF BEVERAGE PRODUCTION MACHINES

摘要

The invention proposes a modular method of manufacturing a set of beverage production machines with different beverage-related functions.
The method comprises the steps of:
- providing a plurality of identical core units (2), the core units (2) being provided with control circuitry and a beverage production module designed for housing an ingredient package and feeding a liquid to the interior of the ingredient package,
- providing a plurality of different base platforms (1,3,4), the base platforms differing as to beverage production functions, and
- manufacturing a set of different beverage production machines by mounting respectively at least one of the core units (2) on the top surface of one out of the plurality of differing base platforms (1,3,4) and by mounting water reservoirs (7) on the base platforms (1,3,4).
