Cup pressing

— this method is also known as the "cup-pressing serving method". It involves the use of an electric pump, similar to the button systems described earlier. However, instead of a switch on the control panel, the switch is located near the spout and is pressed by the edge of the cup. To dispense water, one simply needs to hold the cup up to the spout and press the switch, and then turn off the pump when enough water has been dispensed. However, this method may not be suitable for certain types of cups, such as paper or plastic cups, which are too soft to activate the switch. Additionally, holding the cup may not always be convenient, as the hot water may burn the hands through the cup walls. Therefore, this cup-pressing function is often combined with a more traditional serving button, allowing users to choose the most convenient method based on the situation.
