BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a coffee machine of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0024] In this detailed description, the subject matter of the invention has been illustrated by way of non-exhaustive examples that only serve to better explain the subject.

[0025] FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of the envisaged coffee machine. The coffee machine comprises a housing (8) that is rectangle, is made of the hardened plastic or metal material and also provides protection. The housing (8) is provided with a control panel (15) to be located on the top of housing. The control panel (15) includes a Turkish coffee on the cinder brewing button (34) and a filter coffee brewing button (28) to activate a brewing mode (16). When the Turkish coffee on the cinder brewing button (34) is pressed, the brewing mode (16) to brew the Turkish coffee is activated. When the filter coffee brewing button (28) is pressed, the brewing mode (16) to brew the filter coffee is activated. The control panel also includes the following buttons provided as externally accessible: [0026] A tea brewing button (26) that activates the brewing mode (16) to brew tea [0027] A milk heating button (30) that activates the brewing mode (16) to heat milk [0028] A milk beverage brewing button (32) that activates the milk beverage brewing mode (16)

[0029] Again, there is a first brewing chamber (9) and a second brewing chamber (10) in which the brewing is carried out and which are located in the body part of the housing (8) and have a space. At the bottom of the first brewing chamber (9), there is a first heating plate (13) where the heating is carried out by converting mains power into heat energy. Above the first heating plate (13), there is provided a first brewing compartment (11) for brewing the filter coffee placed therein. A thermostat switch (24) is provided in the first brewing chamber (9), which is set to transmit the mains power to the first heating plate (13) when a brewing mode is activated (16) while the coffee is brewing in the first brewing compartment (11), and which is set to disconnect from the mains power by switching the brewing mode (16) to off at the appropriate temperature of the coffee brewing process. In the second brewing chamber (10), there is a second brewing compartment (12) placed. In the second brewing compartment (12), there is a second heating plate (14) located at the bottom of the second brewing chamber, where the heating is carried out by converting the mains power into heat energy. The coffee machine of the invention also comprises a controller (18) with a processor (36) to transmit signals from the first brewing chamber (9) and the second brewing chamber (10), a memory module (40) and a speaker (42). In a brewing mode of the first brewing compartment (11) in the first brewing chamber (9), the controller (18) receives a notification signal from the tripped thermostat switch (24) set to transmit a signal from the first brewing chamber (9), and then plays a brewing completed notification sound file (44) stored in the memory module (40) of the controller (18) through the speaker (42) after 5 minutes in an audio frequency that can be heard by an user. Also in a brewing mode of the second brewing compartment (12) in the second brewing chamber (10), fluid level is checked by a level sensor (20). The level sensor (20) is set to send a signal in order to end the brewing at a certain threshold of the liquid level. Here, the level sensor (20) is configured to transmit a signal to the controller (18). And the level sensor (20) is a level sensor (20) located at a rear side of the second brewing chamber (10) to sense the entire brewing compartment. There are photocells arranged in a row on a strip line on the level sensor (20). Each photocell herein is a light sensor (22) that detects by light path and is configured to transmit a signal to a controller (18). A coffee machine using a luminescence technology can be provided with the light sensor (22). The luminescence technology is described in the cited patent no. 2015/07207. The light sensor (22) is set to operate via the controller (18). Here, in a brewing mode, the second heater plate (14) located on the bottom of the second brewing compartment (12) is set to provide power from the mains, and when the brewing is finished, to cut off the power by detecting with the level sensor (20) and to send an electrical signal to the controller (18). Here, the controller (18) comprises a processor (36), a memory module (40) and a speaker (42) connected to the controller in such a way that an electrical signal flow occurs, and the processor (36) primarily comprises software in such a way that the signal is transmitted and the brewing is carried out. The memory module (40) receives a notification signal from the level sensor (20) to the controller. The memory module (40) contains notification sound files (44) having the following information for a relevant brewing program of the brewing mode (16) ends: [0030] A notification sound file (44) containing a filter coffee brewing completed information (29) [0031] A notification sound file (44) containing a Turkish coffee brewing completed information (35) [0032] A notification sound file (44) containing a tea brewing completed information (27) [0033] A notification sound file (44) containing a milk heating completed information (31) [0034] A notification sound file (44) containing a milk beverage preparation completed information (33)

[0035] A notification sound file (44) containing the completed information (27) (29) (31) (33) (35) is transferred from the memory module to the speaker. The speaker (42) is set to play the sound file (44) in order to transmit the relevant information to the user in an audible frequency. When a brewing mode is activated by pressing a button (26) (28) (30) (32) (34) of the coffee machine, the following brewing processes are carried out: [0036] When the tea brewing button (26) is pressed, the entire tea and water mixture in the first brewing compartment (11) in the first brewing chamber (9) is set to be brewed by heating, e.g. tea brewing using dripping type brewing, and after a brewing time, e.g. 5 minutes, the thermostat switch (24) trips to cut off the mains power, and after the thermostat switch (24) trips, the controller (18) is set to wait for about 5 minutes in a brewing time, and then the sound file (44) is played through the speaker (42) in the controller (18) to transmit the information of Your tea is ready to the user. [0037] When the filter coffee brewing button (28) is pressed, the entire coffee and water mixture in the first brewing compartment (11) in the first brewing chamber (9) is set to be brewed by heating, e.g. filter coffee brewing using dripping type brewing, and after a brewing time, e.g. 5 minutes, the thermostat switch (24) trips to cut off the mains power, and after the thermostat switch (24) trips, the controller (18) is set to wait for about 5 minutes in a brewing time, and then the sound file (44) is played through the speaker (42) in the controller (18) to transmit the information of Your coffee is ready to the user. [0038] When the milk heating button (30) or the milk beverage button (32) is pressed, the entire beverage in the second brewing compartment (12) in the second brewing chamber (10) is set to be heated and the luminescence technology (20) (22) sends signals to the controller (18) to detect when the prepared beverage is brewed and cuts off the mains power; the controller (18) switches off the mains power at a pre-specified time, e.g. at a pre-specified brewing time of 5 minutes, in accordance with the results of a test carried out in an electronic testing laboratory, if the beverage is not sufficiently risen; then the controller (18) checks which brewing button (30) (32) set to be connected to the controller (18) is active in order to detect which product is brewed; according to the button (30) (32) pressed, the sound file (44) is played through the speaker (42) on the controller (18) at the end of the brewing to transmit the information of Your milk is ready or Your milk drink is ready to the user. [0039] When the Turkish coffee on the cinder brewing button (34) is pressed, the entire beverage in the second brewing compartment (12) in the second brewing chamber (10) is set to be heated and the luminescence technology (20) (22) sends signals to the controller (18) to detect when the prepared beverage is brewed and the mains power is cut off; then the controller (18) checks which brewing button set to be connected to the controller is active in order to understand which product is brewed; according to the button pressed, the sound file (44) is played through the speaker (42) on the controller (18) at the end of the brewing to transmit the information of Your Turkish coffee is ready to the user.
