Definitions

• the coffee grinder device In order to generate the high pressure in the area of the coffee, the coffee grinder device is arranged during operation in an area which is sealed off from the atmosphere and which can be referred to as the pressure chamber or brewing chamber.
• the holder provides a sealing surface so that a pressure chamber can be formed. Furthermore, the holder has an outlet opening from which the Coffee can leak. Furthermore, the coffee pad should be stored in the holder in such a way that the flow through the coffee pad is not hindered.
• a coffee machine occupies an intermediate position between a conventional unpressurized coffee machine and an espresso machine.
• the pivot axis of the lid is arranged on the side of the water container facing the housing. In this way, the lid opens a large opening for filling water when open.
• the water tank is essentially made of plastic and that the web is formed in one piece with the water tank. This is an easy to manufacture and inexpensive solution.
• the water container has a taper in a lower container section and this tapered lower container section can be inserted into a recess in the housing. This also serves the defined and stable use of the water tank in the housing.
• the invention builds on the generic water tank in that at least one web bridging the niche is provided as a handle on the water tank in the upper region of the niche. In this way, the advantages and special features of the coffee machine according to the invention are also implemented in a water container for any purpose.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a coffee machine according to the invention.
• Figure 3 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the water container according to the invention with the lid closed;
• Figure 4 is a perspective view of the first embodiment of the water container according to the invention with the lid open;
• FIG. 5 shows a perspective illustration of a second embodiment of the water container according to the invention with the lid open; and [027] FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a detail in the region of the pivot axis of the lid of a water container according to the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows a perspective illustration of a coffee machine according to the invention.
• Figure 2 shows a sectional view of a coffee machine according to the invention.
• the coffee machine 10 comprises a flat front part 12 and a columnar rear module 14. Cups for removing coffee via an outlet 16 can be arranged on the front part 12.
• a water tank 18 is inserted into a recess 82 of the housing in the rear assembly 14.
• the rear assembly 14 further comprises a brewing chamber 20 which is formed by a coffee pad holder% which can be fed with a drawer and an elastic holder cover 28.
• a lever mechanism with a lever 26 is provided in order to seal the coffee pad holder 2t and the holder cover 28 against one another after the drawer 22 has been inserted.
• the lever mechanism pulls the coffee pad holder% against the holder cover 28. If the lever 26 is turned 90 ° to the rear, the coffee pad holder% is lowered so that it can be removed from the coffee machine 10 together with the drawer 22.
• a cover 56 lies both above the water tank 18 and above the actual rear housing part. It is a hinge trained pivot axis 58 arranged on the forwardly oriented side of the cover 56.
• FIG 3 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of the water container according to the invention with the lid closed.
• Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the first embodiment of the water container according to the invention with the lid open.
• the water container 18 according to the invention has essentially flat side regions 60, 62 and a rounded rear region 64.
• the outer contours of the water container enclose a recess 66, so that the water container 18 can grip around a housing region of the coffee machine.
• This recess 66 is bridged in the upper area by a web 68, which is provided as a handle. This web 68 can be gripped from the side of the pivot axis 58 due to the recess 66.
• FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of a detail in the region of the pivot axis of the lid of a water container according to the invention.
• An edge 80 is formed on the housing part, which is partially covered by the cover 56 of the water container. When the water container is in place, the web 68 formed on the water container is held behind the edge 80. The water container can therefore not tip out of the coffee machine, and a gap-free fit of the water container on the coffee machine is guaranteed.
