ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a coffee maker for performing the appropriate automatic operation in accordance with whether or not there are coffee beans contained in the apparatus, informing the user of the type of automatic operation which is possible to perform at the present time, and, in the event that the user has not completed all of the necessary preparations for operation, preventing the occurrence of useless operation and dangerous operating conditions by automatically stopping operation at the point just before the step for which the preparations have not been completed. The coffee maker includes a temporary holding and cooling means provided with a sensor for detecting remaining coffee beans, and a controller begins the first automatic subprocess operation starting from the roasting of the raw coffee beans by the roaster if this sensor for detecting remaining coffee beans does not detect any coffee beans, and also so that it begins the second automatic subprocess operation starting from the grinding of the beans by the grinding means if coffee beans are detected.
