    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an appliance, suitable for home use, for grinding oil-containing hard produce, in particular oil-containing seeds, to therefore extract an oily substance product. For example, the appliance may grind sesame to obtain Tahini, or peanuts/almonds to obtain butter therefrom. The present disclosure further discloses a capsule to be received in a grinding appliance such as disclosed herein. The appliance incudes two grinding members, configured to grind the hard produce. Each grinding member has a grooved face that is patterned to be configured for grinding. The hard produce is grinded in the interface defined between the two grooved faces, defining a grinding zone. The grinding members typically have a shape of a circle and are aligned one with the other along a common axis. At least one of the grinding members is configured to rotate about the axis to perform the motion carrying out the grinding in the interface between the members. The hard produce is introduced into the grinding zone via one or more openings in at least one of the grinding members. The openings lead directly into the grinding zone, namely the hard produce that is fed through the openings reaches to a part of one of the grooved faces to initiate the grinding process. The grinding zone is constituted by two grinding portions, an inner grinding portion and a peripheral grinding portion, defining inner grinding zone and peripheral grinding zone, respectively. A peripheral collection zone is disposed peripheral to the peripheral grinding zone and is configured to collect the grinded oily substance product that radially flows from the peripheral grinding portions. The oily substance in the collection zone flows towards a substance collector, through which the oily substance flows for being collected.

    Abstract: A coffee grinder-loser apparatus has a removable grinding chamber that is extractable with a fast release. Grinding adjustment is independent of access to the grinding chamber. An interface flange is interposed between an adjusting ring nut and a fixed chamber of the grinding chamber. The flange makes an indirect coupling of the ring nut and of an extractable group of components to the fixed structure. A locking system includes levers with a cam tooth mounted externally on the interface flange. The cam tooth hooks a head of tie-rod assemblies with an elastic spring so as to place them in traction and joined to the fixed structure of the grinding chamber.

    Abstract: An apparatus including a grinder lid section; a grinder section configured to be attached to and detached from the grinder lid section, so that when the grinder section is attached to the grinder lid section the grinder lid section rotates with respect to the grinder section; a funnel section configured to be attached to and detached from the grinder section, so that when the funnel section is attached to the grinder section the funnel section does not rotate with respect to the grinder section; and a storage section configured to be attached and detached from the funnel section, so that when the storage section is attached to the funnel section the storage section does not rotate with respect to the funnel section. Each of the grinder lid section and the grinder section has a plurality of pointed teeth which face towards each other.

    Abstract: A device for storing and dispensing coffee beans, comprising a hopper defining a chamber adapted to contain the beans and provided, on the bottom, with an admission opening; a support base to support the hopper; a rotary dosing device rotatably mounted in a seat to rotate from and to a rest position, and provided with at least one cavity open on the outer surface of the rotary dosing device; and vacuum generating means to create and maintain the vacuum within the chamber. The dosing device has at least one annular groove engaged by a V-ring seal comprising a sealing lip, which, in said rest position, is compressed against an annular surface of the seat to seal the chamber and it is oriented relative to said seat, so as to be further compressed against said annular surface when subjected to a vacuum created in the chamber when air is sucked out therefrom.

    Abstract: Coffee grinder for grinding coffee beans, comprising a container or supply element for coffee beans and a grinding device for grinding the coffee beans. The grinding device comprises a first and a second grinding element between which the coffee beans are ground, the distance between the two grinding elements in the grinding process determining the degree of grinding of the ground coffee, and at least one grinding element being driven by a motor. An adjusting element is provided, with which the distance between the two grinding elements can be adjusted by rotating an adjusting element, and a magnetic rotational position sensor, which directly or indirectly determines the absolute rotational position of this adjusting element as a measure of the distance and provides it for the further control of the coffee grinder.

    Abstract: A grinding attachment for use with a coffee machine an upper grinding tool arranged inside a casing, and a lower grinding tool (11), which can be rotated rotatable relative to the upper grinding tool during a grinding operation. An adjustment device adjusts a degree of grinding of a material to be ground with the grinding tools. The upper grinding tool is attached to a support. The support for the upper grinding tool is displaceable in the vertical direction and is secured torque-proof on an element of the adjustment device. The adjustment device comprises a guide for the support which, during the rotating of the adjustment element, moves the support together with the upper grinding tool in the vertical direction for adjusting the grinding gap.
