So for the "Absintheum", or hand crank Absinth preparer, there
are several separate mechanisms that must be linked together and timed
to accomplish the proper preparation of a glass of Absinthe.
There is no real size limitation on this beast, but it should probably not be bigger than what would fit in a steamer trunk.
General sections:
Drive train
This
distributes the rotation of the hand crank to the various sections and
also coordinates the timing of each piece with the presentation of the
final prepared glass to the user.
Dose preparation
Decants one oz of Absinth from the bottle and delivers it to the glass.
Sugar preparation
Loads a sugar cube onto the spoon and then places the spoon over the glass.
Water dispenser
Delivers the required amount of chilled water to the glass through the sugar.
This step needs to be slow and steady, with an adjustment for the quantity of water needed.
Also
it would be good if there was a display section that might make an
enlarged view of the process available to the patron/user.
Glass delivery
Moves the prepared glass to the user with an appropriate notification like a flag, gong, bell or whistle?
Other sections required:
Bottle holder, glass holder, sugar supply, water chiller and reservoir.
Ideas and designs welcome!
Keep your sightglass full, your firebox trimmed and your water iced.
