Abstract: A device for moving coffee grounds from the coffee grinder into a portafilter or other coffee brewing device without spilling coffee grinds. The device may consist of 3 separate parts—a main body, a plug, and a cap—that fit together such that when shaken or agitated coffee grinds on the inside cannot spill out. This allows for easy homogenization without mess of the grinds before brewing, a process that is becoming more prominent in the industry with the advance of specialty coffee. The device fits onto the lip of a portafilter such that removal of the cap and plug allow all of the homogenized coffee grinds to fall directly into the portafilter basket.
