ARRANGEMENT FOR MOVING A CONTAINER WITH COFFEE FROM A CONTAINER TO A BREWING CHAMBER OF A MACHINE FOR PRODUCING ESPRESSO COFFEE

摘要

A container (6) filled with coffee pods is engaged adjacent to the extraction chamber of the coffee machine and a mobile closure means (10) operates underneath the container mouth to control the opening and closure of the container, so that the bottommost pod may drop out and be received by means that transport it to the open extraction chamber (3), which is then closed to permit the percolation of a cup of coffee; the means that effect the passage of the pod from the container to the extraction chamber, just like those that cause the opening and closure of the container mouth and the closure and opening of the extraction chamber, as also the activation of the pump that moves the percolation water and the removal of the exhausted pod, may be either manual or automatic (Fig. 1).
