<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tea dispensing machine for preventing a cup from being taken out by mistake in the midway of pouring. <P>SOLUTION: In an intermittent mode, hot water supply is dividedly performed twice with one dwell time in the midway. In that case, the first supply of hot water is 30cc, and the second supply is the remaining hot water. The dwell time (t) is set to a value (e.g. one second) so that before pouring is interrupted, the next pouring is started. When the first hot water supply is stopped (D), the quantity of hot water supplied is decreased, and the supply of hot water from a shower head 12 completely runs out (E). The tea can be continuously poured even by little. In the meantime, one second dwell time elapses, the second supply of hot water is restarted (F). When the second supply of hot water is stopped (H), subsequently pouring of tea is stopped (J). Thus, the tea can be continuously poured without interruption from a tea strainer 13 until a designated quantity of tea is poured, so the cup C can be prevented from being taken out by mistake in the midway of pouring. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
