About Capsule Tea Machine Машина за подготовка на чај

Капсулната машина за чај е апарат за подготовка на чај за домашна и канцелариска употреба. Достапни се десет типови капсули за чај, а избраната капсула се поставува во капакот на врвот. Внатрешна компонента за препознавање ги идентификува чајните листови и применува соодветен метод на подготовка, така што шолја чај е готова за педесет секунди. Двослојната подготовка под притисок го симулира двостепениот рачен процес на подготовка на кинески чај. Систем со пареа на висока температура го чисти внатрешниот простор. Формата потсетува на компактниот контур на древните кинески прозорци со сини керамички плочки.

Unique Properties
This tea machine delivers a simplistic and convenient tea-making solution to users. It not only makes the whole tea-making process aesthetic and practical, but also provides fine-drinking tea. The innovative machine lessens the time to make tea and utilize the handmade tea-making characteristics, which enables users to enjoy the excellent taste of tea at any time.
Dimensions & Packaging
370mm*325mm*155mm. Water tank capacity 2.5L, total weight 6.2kg.
Production Technology
The noise-canceling structure and noiseless parts ensure quiet operation. Its self-developed high-temperature self-cleaning technology guarantees a clean and germ-free inner space by high-temperature steam, which is safe and convenient. Also, different from other heating systems made from stainless steel, this machine will not generate scale in the long run, and can prevent the tea from cooling down. And its power dissipation lowers by 15%, which is more environmentally friendly.
Design Challenge
The difficulty is how to guarantee the high quality of tea. In order to solve this problem, the machine applies double-layer pressurized tea-making technology and simulates the two-stage manual process of Chinese tea-making so that users can enjoy the tea with best flavor and high quality.
Research
Xiaoguan Cha helps make the tea superior and promote the traditional tea industry. As a large producer of tea leaves, China has numerous tea companies and tea stores of various scales, the quality of which is uneven. Xiaoguan Cha cooperates with tea-making masters and sets product standards in accordance with the requirements of high grade tea leaves posed by traditional tea-making techniques, and its own tea-making skills and cumulative experience. Meanwhile, we watch out the production process very carefully to ensure the high quality of our products.
Inspiration
This equipment provides the unique and professional tea-making experience at home and office. This machine simulates the compact size, traditional design and gentle outline of ancient Chinese blue tile windows. The hollowed-out shape leaves a sense of retro feeling and perfectly connects the function of the machine and the visual language.
Project Duration
Beijing, from 2018 to Feb 2022
Operation Flow
It is easy to use. First, user can start the machine by pressing the button at the back. User can choose his/her favorite flavor from ten different tea capsule packages and put his or her favorite in the machine cover at the top. Then user presses the tea-making button, and the inner invisible recognition component will quickly identify the tea leaves and use different ways to make the tea. In fifty seconds, a cup of tea is made.
