Abstract
A coffee bean container for an automatic coffee maker comprising a receptacle (2) for storing coffee beans, with an output shaft (4) via which coffee beans in the receptacle (2) can be supplied to a grinding mill. The coffee bean container has a coupling ring (7) disposed coaxially to the output shaft (4) for connecting the coffee bean container (1) to an automatic coffee maker. The coffee bean container (1) has a closure unit (12) for closing the output shaft (4) which has at least one closure element (13, 14). The at least one closure element (13, 14) is supported about a pivot axis parallel to the axis of the output shaft (4) and pivotable between an open and a closed position. The closure unit (12) includes a mechanical drive which mechanically couples the closure element(s) (13, 14) to a rotational movement of the receptacle (2) which moves the closure element(s) to the open position or closed position.
