  • Patent number: 5193438
    Abstract: A coffee mill is incorporated in a coffee-making machine. At least one horizontal grinding unit has a casing provided with a lateral outlet which opens into a vertical discharge nozzle. The lateral outlet is located opposite to a centrifugal turbine which projects coffee powder through the lateral outlet. Provision is made opposite to lateral outlet for a vertical discharge nozzle, the bottom orifice of which opens directly above the location of a brewing receptacle and the upper portion of which has a lateral inlet ear placed opposite to the lateral outlet of the grinding unit. The discharge nozzle is provided with a deflecting inner wall which is capable of downwardly directing the coffee powder delivered by the grinding unit. The discharge nozzle is also removably mounted and may thus be readily cleaned.
