How about Green Mountain Coffee Machine?
"Why do you want to make a pot of coffee at a time? I only drink one cup at a time. " This is Peter, the founder of Krieger. Drogan and John? Sriwen's famous saying prompted them to invent the Krieger K-cup set, which only makes one cup of coffee at a time, and the matching single cup coffee machine. Put K cups into the coffee machine, and a cup of fragrant coffee will appear in front of you in one minute-there is no need to grind, weigh and clean, and there is no residue at the bottom of the cup, just one cup at a time, which is more convenient and fragrant than the traditional coffee machine.
But this coffee machine can only be used with the "K Cup" patented by Green Mountain Company. The so-called "k cup" is a container that looks like a paper cup. There is a smaller paper cup-shaped osmotic device inside, which can only permeate liquid. It contains coffee or tea and is sealed with an aluminum foil cover to ensure that the fragrance of coffee will not be emitted.
Is the green mountain coffee machine easy to use?
A 24-cup K cup usually costs $ 12, which is equivalent to $0.50 per cup. This not only robbed customers of traditional coffee machines, but also robbed Starbucks business. In the economic crisis, more and more Americans gave up the $5 cup of coffee in cafes and chose the "K cup" with a $0.50 cup.
"K Cup" can only be used in this coffee machine. All coffee machines are outsourced to suppliers in China, and the price of each machine is usually more than $65,438+000. Selling at the cost price doesn't make money, but the K cup really makes money. In 2008, Green Mountain sold 980,000 coffee machines, but do you know how many K cups were sold? 1 billion! Today, families and offices in North America consume more than 3 million K cups every day. This "razor/razor blade business model" makes about three-quarters of green mountain coffee's annual sales revenue come from coffee machines and K cups.
The use of coffee machine

About fifteen minutes later, the pressure gauge on the coffee machine reaches the set position, indicating that the machine has been heated and can be used.
In order to make high-quality coffee drinks, before making coffee, turn on the coffee switch, release about 5 ounces of water from each tap, release some steam and hot water from the steam pipes and hot water pipes on both sides, and fully heat the coffee machine for ten minutes.
5. Turn on the power of the bean mill to grind coffee beans. Don't grind too much powder in advance to avoid losing the flavor of coffee powder.
6. Hold the filter handle with your left hand, turn left, remove the handle and insert it under the soymilk machine. Pull the handle of the duster with your right hand.
7. Tap the edge of the filter with one end of the small head of the hand-held powder press to make the powder smooth, and then press the powder vertically downward with one end of the big head. Then tap the edge of the filter screen with the small end, and press the powder hard with the big end for the second time.
8. Wipe off the residual powder on the edge of the filter screen by hand, first turn on the coffee outlet switch to release hot water for 3 seconds, and then hang your hand on the faucet of the machine and turn right to lock it.
9. Remove the coffee cup from the warm cup tray at the upper part of the machine, put it under the faucet outlet, and press the corresponding coffee outlet button on the panel.
10, when the coffee is ready, turn the handle to knock the coffee grounds into the residue bucket, wipe the filter screen with a brush or a clean rag, and then gently buckle the handle on the faucet to preheat and keep warm.
