Abstract
Capsule coffee and capsule coffee machines have become very popular, mainly using disposable capsules. The amount of metal or plastic waste per kilogram of coffee is relatively large, as the capsules must be disposed of after single use. Refillable capsules are offered as an alternative. A disadvantage of all refillable capsules is that it is difficult and hardly reproducible to fill same with the optimal amount of coffee powder. The aim of this invention is to enable fast, clean and reproducible optimal filling of refillable coffee capsules. This is achieved by a filling device for refillable coffee capsules or a coffee grinder having such a filling device. This consists of an access opening and a filling tube through which ground coffee powder can fall into the capsule, a plunger that is guided in the filling tube and can be moved up and down therein in order to compress the coffee powder that has fallen into the capsule, as well as a movable receptacle for a capsule, which movable receptacle is located underneath the filling tube.
