Claim:
1. A brewing machine, comprising: a brewing container having a first end, a second end and an inner space, wherein the first end is an open end, and a through hole is disposed at the second end of the brewing container; a filter disposed inside the brewing container for covering the through hole; and a valve device having a timer function and attached to the second end of the brewing container, the valve device further comprising: a housing having a recess portion, wherein a valve opening in communication with the through hole is disposed in the recess portion; a magnetic valve placed at the valve opening for blocking the valve opening; an actuating mechanism disposed inside the housing and including a power source, a motor, a sliding rail, a gear rack and a magnet, wherein the gear rack is slidably mounted on the sliding rail, the magnet is attached at an end of the gear rack, the power source is electrically connected to the motor, and a gear disposed at a driving end of the motor is engaged with the gear rack; a timer disposed inside the housing, wherein the timer controls the motor of the actuating mechanism to move the magnet between an opening position and a blocking position based on a pre-set time; wherein when the magnet is moved to the opening position by the actuating mechanism via the control of the timer, the magnet is located next to the valve opening so as to attract the magnetic valve to move away from the valve opening; wherein when the magnet is moved to the blocking position by the actuating mechanism, the magnet is kept away from the valve opening and the recess portion, so the magnetic valve is released from the attraction of the magnet and returns to the valve opening to block the valve opening.
