Abstract: An apparatus for dosing coffee beans for the purpose of selecting a metered quantity to be ground comprises a portioning device with a metering chamber having a receiving volume for receiving the coffee beans. The receiving volume is variable. Preferably, the setting of the metered quantity is performed mechanically, wherein the effect of the settings on the portioning device takes place mechanically. Preferably, the apparatus comprises a setting ring for manually adjustment of the metered quantity.

Abstract: A unit of a coffee apparatus, in particular a coffee machine for brewing a coffee drink, includes a coffee bean container for storing the coffee beans, a portioner for portioning the coffee beans for an individual portion, and a grinder for grinding the portioned coffee beans. The coffee bean container and the portioner are formed in a common container module. The unit has a module receptacle, by which the container module can be connected during use and removed after use, and the container module has settings for a portion amount and a degree of grinding, which can be selected by the user. The portion amount setting influences the portioner and the degree of grinding setting influences the grinder. A simple, cost-effective and easy-to-use information exchange module between coffee container and coffee apparatus is thereby created.
