A brewing apparatus adapted for brewing articles contained in a capsule, said brewing apparatus including a capsule seat adapted to receive the capsule therein, said brewing apparatus being characterized by: a control device that has a slide slot; and at least one drive mechanism engages slidably the slide slot and connected to said capsule seat; said control device being pivotable to drive slide movement of said at least one drive mechanism, thereby moving said capsule seat and converting said brewing apparatus between a brewing state and a standby state, said control device including: an operating mechanism, and at least one pivot unit including a pivot member that has a pivot portion co-movable with said operating mechanism, and a slot-defining portion connected to said pivot portion and defining said slide slot, and a slide pin that has an end engaging and being slidable along said slide slot, and an opposite end connected to said at least one drive mechanism; and said operating mechanism is operable to drive pivot movement of said at least one pivot unit, thereby driving said slide movement of said at least one drive mechanism, said brewing apparatus further comprising a stationary joint shaft; and said at least one drive mechanism having a seat-connecting portion formed at an end thereof and connected to said capsule seat, a pivot portion formed at an opposite end thereof and connected to said joint shaft, and a pin-connecting portion disposed between said seat-connecting portion and said pivot portion, connected to said opposite end of said slide pin, and being pivotable about said joint shaft, said at least one drive mechanism including a first arm having said seat-connecting portion and a coupling portion that is opposite to said seat-connecting portion and that is connected pivotally to said pin-connecting portion, and a second arm having said pin-connecting portion and said pivot portion, characterized in that said operating mechanism of said control device includes a substantially inverted L-shaped handle that has a main segment and a pivot segment; and said pivot segment of said handle and a linking segment of the pivot member of said at least one pivot unit are formed as one piece, so that said pivot members are formed as a unitary integrally formed structure and are co-movable with said handle. a control device that has a slide slot; and at least one drive mechanism engages slidably the slide slot and connected to said capsule seat; said control device being pivotable to drive slide movement of said at least one drive mechanism, thereby moving said capsule seat and converting said brewing apparatus between a brewing state and a standby state, said control device including: an operating mechanism, and at least one pivot unit including a pivot member that has a pivot portion co-movable with said operating mechanism, and a slot-defining portion connected to said pivot portion and defining said slide slot, and a slide pin that has an end engaging and being slidable along said slide slot, and an opposite end connected to said at least one drive mechanism; and an operating mechanism, and at least one pivot unit including a pivot member that has a pivot portion co-movable with said operating mechanism, and a slot-defining portion connected to said pivot portion and defining said slide slot, and a slide pin that has an end engaging and being slidable along said slide slot, and an opposite end connected to said at least one drive mechanism; and a pivot member that has a pivot portion co-movable with said operating mechanism, and a slot-defining portion connected to said pivot portion and defining said slide slot, and a slide pin that has an end engaging and being slidable along said slide slot, and an opposite end connected to said at least one drive mechanism; and said operating mechanism is operable to drive pivot movement of said at least one pivot unit, thereby driving said slide movement of said at least one drive mechanism, said brewing apparatus further comprising a stationary joint shaft; and said at least one drive mechanism having a seat-connecting portion formed at an end thereof and connected to said capsule seat, a pivot portion formed at an opposite end thereof and connected to said joint shaft, and a pin-connecting portion disposed between said seat-connecting portion and said pivot portion, connected to said opposite end of said slide pin, and being pivotable about said joint shaft, said at least one drive mechanism including a first arm having said seat-connecting portion and a coupling portion that is opposite to said seat-connecting portion and that is connected pivotally to said pin-connecting portion, and a second arm having said pin-connecting portion and said pivot portion, characterized in that said operating mechanism of said control device includes a substantially inverted L-shaped handle that has a main segment and a pivot segment; and said pivot segment of said handle and a linking segment of the pivot member of said at least one pivot unit are formed as one piece, so that said pivot members are formed as a unitary integrally formed structure and are co-movable with said handle.
