Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The dosing device comprises: a coffee grinder ( 5 ) for making coffee powder from coffee beans; a motor ( 9 ) for actuating the coffee grinder ( 5 ); a dosing chamber ( 21 ) wherein the coffee powder produced by said coffee grinder ( 5 ) is discharged, said dosing chamber being at least partly delimited by a first wall ( 33 ), which may be opened on command for discharging the coffee powder from the dosing chamber, and by a second wall ( 31 ), mobile by the effect of a volume variation of the coffee powder in said dosing chamber ( 21 ); an actuator ( 37 ) for controlling an opening movement of said first wall ( 33 ); an electronic control device ( 59 that based on the position of the second wall, causes the stop of the actuating motor ( 9 ) of the coffee grinder and the actuation of said actuator ( 37 ) for controlling the opening movement of said first wall and the discharge of the coffee powder from the dosing chamber. The second wall ( 31 ) is associated to a detection system ( 45 ) of a plurality of dosing positions of the second wall. The opening of the first wall ( 33 ) is set through the electronic control device ( 50 ), in connection with the detection system ( 45 ) and with the actuator ( 37 ), when the second wall ( 31 ) has reached one of the above dosing positions.
