Abstract: In order to provide an electrical beverage preparation machine, in particular for preparing coffee, espresso, mixed milk drinks or the like, the machine comprising an outlet housing part that has an inlet for coffee, fresh air and hot steam as well as milk and outlets for on the one hand coffee and on the other hand milk and milk foam, wherein the coffee outlet as well as the milk frothing system can easily be cleaned, it is proposed that a connector plate is fixed in the outlet housing part, said connector plate comprising connections for the coffee inlet, the steam inlet and the air inlet, and the coffee outlet branching off therefrom, as well as a connection port or similar coupling part, which comprises the steam and air outlets, and at which a mixing chamber with a milk connection is attached in a tightly mountable or detachable manner.

Abstract: A grinder has a hollow housing, a support rotatable in the housing about an upright axis, a lower annular grinding disk fixed atop and rotatable with the support, and an upper grinding disk nonrotatably fixed in the housing above the lower disk and forming therewith a radially extending annular grinding gap. The disks form with the housing an annular outlet chamber into which the gap opens radially outwardly. The housing forms an upwardly open intake into which the gap opens radially inward. An electrical drive is connected to the support for rotating the support and lower disk in the housing so that material charged into the intake is ground in the gap and expelled as particles into the output chamber. An angular-contact bearing is braced axially and radially between the support and the housing below the disks.
