Capsule coffee machine

A capsule coffee machine used for brewing coffee from a coffee capsule, the coffee capsule including a capsule shell, and a capsule membrane covered on a top surface of the capsule shell, an outer surface of the capsule membrane having a two-dimensional code, the capsule coffee machine comprising:

• a base, an inside of the base having an accommodating space;
• a capsule channel formed at a top surface of the base, the capsule channel being used for connecting an external space and the accommodating space, the capsule channel having an opening end connected with the external space;
• a gate, a bottom of the capsule channel being equipped with the gate;
• an optics lens, an inside of the capsule channel being equipped with the optics lens, the optics lens being aligned with the capsule membrane in the capsule channel for capturing the two-dimensional code on the capsule membrane;
• a guiding unit disposed under the gate and accommodated in the accommodating space of the base;
• a drip container connected with a lower portion of the guiding unit, the drip container being used for accommodating the coffee capsule, the drip container having a mouth penetrating through a rear surface of the drip container, a stopping wall opposite to the mouth, and a peripheral wall extended between and mounted around the mouth and the stopping wall for holding the coffee capsule, the drip container being obliquely arranged to make one side of the peripheral wall lower than the rest of the peripheral wall of the drip container;
• a collecting groove recessed towards a downward direction and in a lower portion of an inside of the peripheral wall of the drip container;
• a water injection unit connected with the guiding unit;
• a driving unit connected with the guiding unit for driving the water injection unit to move along a predefined path which leads to the mouth of the drip container;
• and
• an actuator connected with the gate to drive the gate to be opened or closed.

• and
• an actuator connected with the gate to drive the gate to be opened or closed;
• wherein the driving unit drives the water injection unit and the guiding unit to move towards the coffee capsule and the drip container to fasten the coffee capsule in the drip container to extract the coffee, or the driving unit drives the water injection unit and the guiding unit to slide away from the coffee capsule and the drip container for ejecting a capsule shell of the coffee capsule from the drip container.
