  • Patent number: 10918245
    Abstract: A coffee grinder-doser includes a grinder-doser body enclosing a grinding chamber which houses first and second mills configured and mutually positioned to grind coffee beans into powder. An external ring-nut which is gripped and rotated by an operator integrally connects to the first mill. A nut screw with a longitudinal axis, inside the grinding chamber, is engaged with an external thread of the ring-nut to translate the first mill along the longitudinal axis. The ring-nut includes a ring-nut body and indices defining the angular position thereof. The grinder-doser body includes a fixed reference for the indices. The ring-nut is associated with a graduated ring having the indices, and a cover at least partially removable to lock the graduated ring between the cover and the ring-nut. The cover is fixed to the ring-nut body by a partially removable couple for adjusting and locking the angular position of the graduated ring.

  • Patent number: 8826803
    Abstract: A coffee grinder-dispenser comprising a base housing an electric motor, with a vertically extending rotatable shaft which is connected to a grinder located in a grinding chamber. A vessel located above the grinding chamber receives coffee beans to be ground. A closure plate allows the coffee beans to enter the grinding chamber. A conduit allows the coffee, after grinding, to be delivered to a funnel; the ground coffee passes downwardly through the funnel into a filter holder. One cooling fan faces the grinding chamber, is activated by a keypad on the funnel, and delivers air transversely across the interior of the housing. A second cooling fan is located on the vertical shaft of the electric motor. The fans are operated by a controller, located within the housing, and provide sufficient cooling air to the grinding chamber to maintain the desired qualities of taste and aroma in the ground coffee.

  • Patent number: 7337714
    Abstract: An apparatus for pressing coffee has a base and housing supporting a filtercup and a pressing cylinder. The pressing cylinder has a forked end engaging a cylindrical body and attached to a rocker arm. A counterweight is attached to an end of the rocker arm. The cylindrical body has a rack engaging a ring gear activated by a lever. Movement of the lever causes movement of the cylindrical body and pressing cylinder. A pinion attached to the cylindrical body moves along a second rack. Movement of the pinion is translated to a bevel gear pair and a pin between the prongs of the forked end.

  • Patent number: 6948668
    Abstract: A coffee grinder-dispenser comprising a base, a grinder located within the base, an electric motor for operating the grinder, and a hopper, or cup, for receiving the coffee beans to be ground. A funnel is secured to the base, to receive the ground coffee, or powder via a distribution channel that extends in a horizontal plane. A grid, comprising spaced stainless steel rods, extending vertically and horizontally, is positioned in the entry hole or port of the funnel in alignment with the distribution conduit of the grinder-dispenser. The grid reduces the velocity of the ground coffee, or powder, so that the powder does not accumulate upon, or adhere to, the walls of the funnel. Consequently, when a lever on the base is operated, an accurate amount of ground coffee is discharged from the funnel into a conventional filter holder.
