A coffee machine comprising a coffee machine housing, having a coffee mill (2) comprising a grinder (6) for grinding coffee beans (32) to coffee grounds (33) and having a brewing device (35) having a brewing chamber (34) which is adjustable between a filling position and a brewing position for subjecting the coffee grounds (33) to extraction with hot water to produce a coffee drink, wherein associated with the coffee mill (2) is an electric motor (1) by means of which a grinding ring (8) of the grinder (6) can be driven rotatably about an axis of rotation (13) relative to a grinding cone (7) disposed radially within the grinding ring (8) by means of a shaft (14) spaced apart from the axis of rotation (13), in order to grind the coffee beans (32) between the grinding ring (8) and the grinding cone (7), wherein the shaft (14) is disposed such that said shaft extends perpendicular to the axis of rotation (13), and wherein in the filling position the brewing chamber (34) is disposed axially below the grinder outlet (31), in such a way that the axis of rotation (13) passes through the grinder outlet (31) and the brewing chamber (34), such that under the effect of gravity ground coffee powder can be discharged axially from the grinder (6) into the brewing chamber (34), and that the electric motor is arranged radially adjacent to the grinding ring (8).
