Abstract

A small manual coffee maker includes: a cup body and detachable coffee brewing base. A body lower end is connected to the base. Water and pressure chambers are in the body. A coffee brewing chamber and coffee outlet passage are in the base. The body has a water inlet passage communicating with the pressure chamber and a water outlet passage communicating with the pressure and coffee brewing chambers. A water chamber bottom has a water inlet communicating with the water inlet passage. The water inlet passage has a water inlet one-way valve which can control the one-way flow of water from the water inlet passage to the pressure chamber. The water outlet passage has a water outlet one-way valve which can control the one-way flow of water from the pressure chamber to the coffee brewing chamber. The body has a piston rod with one end extending into the pressure chamber.
