    [0002] Water supply device for espresso machines.
    [0003]
    [0004] Technique sector.
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention refers to a water supply device for espresso coffee machines that has characteristics aimed at supplying the espresso machine with water of optimum quality, constant over time and without depending on geographical location, without dissolved elements that they can affect the quality of the coffee and with a high degree of mineralization.
    [0007]
    [0008] State of the prior art.
    [0009]
    [0010] Espresso coffee machines, widely used in cafes and restaurants, generally have a device for supplying the water necessary for preparing coffee.
    [0011]
    [0012] Currently, it is a common practice to feed these types of espresso machines with mains water, previously decalcified, to protect the machine and avoid the accumulation of lime inside.
    [0013]
    [0014] The water in the decalcified network includes dissolved elements, which can be variable in time and different in different areas, and which negatively affect the aroma, flavor, texture and cream of the coffee produced by the espresso machine, thus preventing the quality of the coffee is optimal and homogeneous over time.
    [0015]
    [0016] A solution currently used to minimize this problem is to eliminate the elements dissolved in the water and then add the appropriate minerals to obtain an espresso coffee of a higher quality than that obtained with water from the decalcified network.
    [0017]
    [0018] Currently, to improve the quality of the water supplied to the espresso machines, supply devices are used that use osmotic water and have a mineralizing filter, for example calcium carbonate, of reasonable dimensions for Install it under the coffee machine and through which the osmotic water to enter the coffee machine passes.
    [0019]
    [0020] These filters only achieve an increase in the mineralization of water between 20 and 50 ppm because these minerals, basically calcium carbonate, are very poorly soluble in water.
    [0021]
    [0022] The technical problem that arises is the development of an express water supply device for coffee machines capable of achieving a high mineralization of the osmotic water to be supplied to the coffee machine, preferably between 120 and 125 ppm.
    [0023]
    [0024] Explanation of the invention
    [0025]
    [0026] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, the express water supply device for coffee machines has been devised, which eliminates the problems of heterogeneity present in the network waters and achieves optimum coffee quality.
    [0027]
    [0028] This device is applicable in establishments that have osmotic water and has characteristics that allow the mineralization capacity of the water to be supplied to the coffee maker to be increased, up to values between 120 and 125 ppm by means of a controlled injection of CO2 into the water. osmotized, before mineralization.
    [0029]
    [0030] This device, being of the type described in the preamble of the first claim, that is to say, comprising a tank containing osmotic water, a feeding tube that connects a water outlet from the tank with a water inlet to the coffee maker and a mineralizing filter , preferably made of calcium carbonate, sandwiched in the feeding tube, has the particularity of incorporating means to considerably increase the solubility of minerals in osmotized water by adding CO 2 dissolved in the water contained in the tank, before of its mineralization in the mineralizing filter.
    [0031]
    [0032] These means of increasing the solubility of minerals in osmotic water include a CO2 bottle (CO2 can also be used from the beer or carbonation of another drinking water system), a manometer, a pressure reducer, a CO2 bubble counter inserted in the CO2 supply tube to the tank containing the osmotic water and a CO2 diffuser housed in the tank containing desalinated water.
    [0033]
    [0034] The pressure reducer provided at the outlet of the bottle allows adjusting the amount of CO2 injected into the osmotic water contained in the tank, until an optimal amount is found which is reflected in the bubble counter; indicating the manometer at all times the amount of CO 2 remaining in the bottle.
    [0035]
    [0036] This device therefore allows the coffee machine to be supplied with osmotized water, without dissolved substances that can negatively affect the quality of the coffee, and with high mineralization.
    [0037]
    [0038] Brief description of the content of the drawings.
    [0039]
    [0040] To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present descriptive memory in which, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:
    [0041]
    [0042] - Figure 1 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of the espresso coffee maker water supply device, according to the invention.
    [0043]
    [0044] Detailed exposition of an embodiment of the invention.
    [0045]
    [0046] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached figure, the water supply device for express coffee machines (C) comprises a tank (1) containing osmotized water, a supply tube (11) that connects a water outlet to the tank (1 ) with a water inlet to the coffee maker (C); a mineralizing filter (2), in this case of calcium carbonate, sandwiched in the feed tube (11) and means to increase the mineralization capacity of the osmotic water, that is, the solubility of the minerals in the osmotic water, as it passes through the mineralizing filter.
    [0047]
    [0048] These means to increase the mineralization capacity of osmotic water They comprise a bottle (3) containing CO2, provided in its mouth with a pressure reducer (31) with a manometer and connected by means of a supply tube (32) that passes through a hole in the tank lid (1) to a CO2 diffuser (4) housed in said tank (1) containing osmotic water.
    [0049]
    [0050] The pressure reducer (31) allows adjusting the amount of CO2 supplied to the osmotic water, and the associated pressure gauge allows knowing the amount of CO 2 remaining in the bottle (3).
    [0051]
    [0052] This device includes, inserted in the CO2 supply tube (32) to the tank (1) of a CO2 bubble counter (5).
    [0053]
    [0054] By incorporating CO 2 in the osmotic water contained in the tank, the solubility of minerals in it is increased, which allows the osmotic water with CO 2 , as it passes through the mineralizing filter, to reach mineralization values between 120 and 125 ppm.
    [0055]
    [0056] Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not entail an alteration of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below.
