Abstract
A locking structure of a hot beverage machine with a steam sealing device is provided. The hot beverage machine has a feeder for various drinks placed with raw materials, such as coffee powder, coffee bag, tea leaves, tea bags, etc., and utilized with a sealing element, which allows steam to come in. When the machine is used, the feeder is tightly sealed with the sealing element so as to make drinks with purer flavor. Alternatively, when the machine is not in use for brewing, the feeder is separated from the sealing element with a distance such that the hot beverage machine can have a variety of different functions.
