Abrégé

A unit includes a container module with a coffee bean container and a portioning device for metering coffee beans. The module as a whole is configured for connection to a coffee apparatus, the connection enabling a metered delivery of coffee beans from the module into a grinder. The coffee bean container is tightly closed prior to the first use and, after an opening operation, has an opening through which coffee beans enter into the portioning device. The coffee bean container is coupled with the portioning device in a releasable and reconnectable manner by use of a coupling element. The opening can be closed again when the coffee bean container is separated from the portioning device. The unit makes it possible to handle and enjoy coffee in a cost-effective and environmentally aware manner.

The invention relates to a unit for a coffee device, comprising a container module (M) which has a coffee-bean container (1), a portioning means (2) and a mechanical grinding-degree adjuster (3). An adjustment position of the grinding-degree adjuster (3) brings about a first rotational movement of an adjustment means (43) of the unit about a vertical first rotational axis (A1) for the purpose of adjusting the grinding degree of a grinding mechanism (6) of the coffee device. The unit also comprises a mechanical transfer means (8) for transferring the first rotational movement of the adjustment means (43) into a second rotational movement of a grinding-gap changing means (60) of the grinding mechanism (6) about a second rotational axis (A2) which deviates from the horizontal. This unit allows the use of a replaceable container module which comprises a grinding-degree adjuster, in particular having cone mills.

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.
