Abstract:
A coffee grinder apparatus includes a housing with a support base, a pedestal portion, and a motor housing extending outwardly from the pedestal portion above the support base to define a jar receiving area. A motor is disposed in the motor housing and is operably coupled to a grinder assembly. A hopper is operably coupled to an upper mounting portion of the motor housing disposed above the grinder assembly. The hopper includes a cavity configured to hold coffee beans with an open base portion opening into the grinder assembly. A collection jar is configured for reception in the jar receiving area and includes a vessel defining a cavity for collecting ground coffee expelled from the grinder assembly during a grinding procedure. An integrated scale assembly is disposed in the collection jar for weighing the ground coffee as received in the collection jar.
