Abstract

A coffee maker capable of stopping returning steam includes a grinding unit, a guiding unit, and a brewing unit. A conduit extends laterally from a container disposed at a lower portion of the grinding unit and adapted to hold the coffee particles. The conduit has an outlet corresponding in position to an opening formed on a cover portion at a top of the brewing unit. A decelerating motor is disposed at the cover portion. An axle of the decelerating motor is coupled to a lid. When the coffee particles exit the grinding unit and enter the brewing unit via the conduit to accumulate in the brewing unit to a preset quantity level, the decelerating motor drives the lid to shut the opening. Hence, high-temperature steam introduced into the brewing unit for brewing coffee is prevented from entering the grinding unit to wet the residual coffee particles therein.
