  • Coffee grinding machine
    Patent number: 10201248
    Abstract: A coffee grinding machine including a first burr and a second burr. At least one of the first burr and the second burr is rotatable about an axis of rotation, the burrs being mutually cooperating to grind coffee. The machine includes a motor which rotates at least one of the burrs with respect to the other, wherein the axis of rotation of the motor does not coincide with the axis of rotation of the burrs so that the coffee which is ground by the grinders is directed to an output of a conveyor cone for use thereof.
